Laughable. Seriously, how long has it been since the M1 Air dropped? And we're still this clueless?

Awesome spec dump. Now, what's the real life usage battery life of that laptop like? Oh? Yeah, thought so.

Nobody buys a list of specs, they buy a set of capabilities. And the Neo is capable of supporting normal usage for 12h+ on battery. Go ahead and link me some alternative laptops that can do that, with comparable performance of course — which is on par or better than the original M1 Air mind you.

Killer move by Apple, and I'm shocked there's still so much ignorance around.

The Windows ones sound good for running games. Wouldn't suit me as I don't game on them and want battery life for reading.

I own one. It lives long enough not to get bothered by charging.
