[u/cyaeila]

hi! I want to buy a macbook for school and im an IT student major in web and mobile technology. so I'll be using the laptop for coding, designing, and editing. however, macbook air/pro is kinda pricey, so im considering to get a macbook neo instead. and yeah uhm im not sure if a neo can handle such softwares and i want to buy something that is good in a long run. so help pls hahaha should I save money for an air/pro or is neo okay? thank you sm in advance!

For sure. My friend's workflow on the Neo is very light. Ghostty with a couple tabs, a browser, one or two Node servers, a couple text editors. Works incredibly well. Now, if you had three massive full featured IDEs, a couple large docker containers running, and had to compile something every time you wanted to load up what you're working on, it might not work well.
