The Neo changes things. Only $600.

It is 800 euros for 8 GB device, no thanks, especially in coutries where many dream of getting 1000 euros a month.

Dozens of youtube video reviews showing that the 8GB is not really a limitation for what most people need to do with the laptop. Heck I saw a review where the guy played minecraft on it with 20 rather hefty tabs in safari open, without any stuttering.

So what is the actual limitation of a neo, and how to they apply to users in that price class?

How much Electron crap did they tested with?

It's surprisingly fine. Not the fastest though.

It's a computer released at the peak of the RAM crisis. Even Raspberry Pis are expensive now. That's just life.

Its $600 in the states. $500 if you are a student. What is a cheaper but good enough alternative in your opinion?

I don't live in the states.

Here is one with 512 GB SSD, 16 GB, DirectX 12.1, Vulkan 1.3, under 500 euros, and enough connections without dongles.

Interesting. You save 200 euros(in germany) but lose significant CPU performance. As long as its not a chromebook its usable.

Maybe you don't need a laptop then, if your dream is 1000eur.

Ah, too poor to play kind of argument.
