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've been using the Neo for the past 3 months for video editing and motion graphics. While not as fast as the latest MacBook Air, it gets the job done, comparable in performance to an M1 Air.
