JJADDAMS If you add a USB C hub for less than $20.00 to a Neo, you get a better computer for one simple reason – the operating system. You can realistically compare hardware specs between Windows computers and a Mac Neo but the software that drives the computer makes all the difference and they are not even close to being comparable.

Or buy a Dell and put Linux on it! Really loving my move to Linux so far, made my computer feel brand new and very snappy. Something else I noticed. On windows 10 using firefox and proton vpn some sites simply would not work unless I turn off the VPN. On Linux using the same firefox and proton vpn the sites work just fine. Odd….. Reply
