Apple finally admitted that 8GB RAM is not enough no matter how optimized macOS is and released the base model Mac Mini M4 with 16 GB of RAM.
Now they're backtracking that stance due to the recent DRAM price hikes. 😂

NEO likely refers to Northeast Ohio.

I can envision high school and middle school students purchasing this product. The free laptops provided by Android in school settings do not meet the necessary standards. If I had children, I would consider purchasing this product for them.

This is very much a basic entry level machine and will be fine for the millions of people who do little to nothing more than use their computer for email, browsing, and youtube.
