The MacBook Neo is a winner | The Vergecast

Описание: Both David and Nilay bought new computers this week, as the MacBook Neo turned out to be a surprisingly great cheap Apple laptop. The hosts discuss their experiences with the machines, from the processor to the keyboard to the mess that is MacOS Tahoe. After that, they talk about the future of Xbox, Project Helix, and what it might mean for every gaming PC to become an Xbox... and for the Xbox to become a gaming PC. Finally, in the lightning round, it’s time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the latest on Paramount and Warner Bros, Grammarly’s sloppelgangers, and more.
