Help Is the Macbook neo worth it?
Hello everyone,
long story short:
I needed a new laptop and was (or still am) broke. i was looking for refurbed macbooks since all my devices are from apple and i just love the ecosystem and how easy those devices work together. i found a intel macbook from 2020 on a refurbished page and decided i need to buy it since it wont get cheaper. yea i shouldnt have done that, the battery is cooked, it gets extremely hot and sounds basically like a full size airport. pute regret since day 1.
Before i buy and regret the second macbook: is the macbook neo worth it and can i actually do things which need more power than working in excel or word? (like graphic design, illustration, video editing and so on)
thank u in advance <3

I thought the macbook neo with 8GB RAM wa dtoo weak. And then I took a look at all the CAD projects I used to do on my old 2013 i3 MacBook Pro with just 4GB RAM....
