This has more RAM, a faster CPU, a better screen, upgradable storage, and Thunderbolt ports for the same price as the entry-level Neo.

This is a Chromebook, a MacBook is 100 percent better for the price. This is coming from someone who used a Chromebook for 8 years through elementary and middle school many years back

There's a world of difference between the Chromebook you used years ago and this particular Chromebook. Someone who is not used to the MacOS or its Apple ecosystem would not be eyeing the Neo, and instead either WindowsOS or ChromeOS.

The neo is apple's answer to a Chromebook, just with worse specs. If you want to run Mac OS and don't want a year old air or to spend over $600, then it's for you.

8 GB of RAM and a low end i3 will definitely deliver a bad experience long term. The machine in the post is significantly more powerful and premium, I just don't trust ASUS long terms in hardware reliability personally.
