I think the MacBook Neo has really made it hard for companies to compete. This would have been exciting a few years ago, but now it just feels overpriced. But I love love it can run Linux and is more open.

I disagree, it's cheap for an apple laptop but the chuwi is still half the price for double the RAM and storage

If you used Neo you would see that while it is decent laptop, it is not nearly as small as 12" should be, clacky touch pad and overall a slab of metal that can easily be dented like any macbook.

It is good as Macbook Air just cheap, but it isn't nearly as portable as something Minibook X should represent. Old Apple 12" plastic one if you remember would be more perfect for such use case if it would be recreated.
