> I suspect Apple is going to cannibalize some MBA sales with the Neo ...

Hopefully it allows for the macbook air to return to being a ultra light machine, I held an Asus X14 ARM at 900 grams and it felt so much better.

There's also a huge market for the M1 MacBook Air because of the old form factor of being ultra thin even if faking it with bending the shell, the boxed layouts dont fit with MBA to me. Too bad there is no 15 2021 M1.

Yeah it's funny, my M4 Air looks and feels like my wife's M1 MBP. It makes sense though, they made the MBP actually pro instead of being the default.
The wife just bought an Air and it’s incredibly light. Not as thin as they used to be but shockingly light still!
100% but I suggest doing the 1-handed pick up test with the lid open, a 900g laptop feels weightless against the 13 air at 1200g
