I've got my Neo and while it tackles everything, if you're looking to run some Mid-Windows games via Crossover, the rosetta translation layer is gonna absorb about 5-6GB of memory all on its own, while your Metal ram usage is 2-3GB. It tickles and occasionally spikes into swap pretty hard, so I'm definitely looking to dive onto a 16GB version.... Hoping I can survive until next year when a 12GB version Neo is launched. THAT would handle it proper.

That's helpful. I had been debating an air vs neo. Now I'm thinking 24gb might be the minimum.

I think that's the hidden cost of the Neo. Once you outgrow it, you're already looking for the next new one in about a year. After that, you'll have spent the price of two Neos, when you could have just bought something like an Air.

I would be ticked if the resale value sucked on the Neo. As it currently stands, with new Neos being a month out, I could see it selling for exactly what I paid. XD
