After using MacBook Neo, it's clear Windows needs to rethink its PC strategy (and fast)

Apple's new MacBook Neo disrupts the budget laptop market at $599, directly challenging Windows PCs in Microsoft's dominated space. The Neo uses Apple's A18 iPhone chip instead of premium M-series processors, making strategic compromises like removing keyboard backlighting while maintaining superior build quality. This pressures Microsoft as Windows 11 faces criticism for bloated AI features and potential subscription models, giving frustrated users an attractive alternative that seamlessly integrates with their iPhones.
