Apple appears to have prematurely revealed the name of its rumored lower-cost MacBook model, which is expected to be announced this Wednesday. A regulatory document for a "MacBook Neo" (Model A3404) has appeared on Apple's website. Unfortunately, there are no further details or images available yet. While the PDF file does not contain the "MacBook Neo" name, it briefly appeared in a link on Apple's regulatory website for EU compliance purposes.

    Uh, good luck with that repair.

    I’m no fan of apple’s business practices, or the general non-upgradability of their machines, but i’d take apple hardware over cheap plastic any day. It’s overpriced and it’s locked down, but it’s also well engineered.

    You’re free to hate Apple, that’s fine, I’m right there with you. But if you think their build quality is poor, you’re simply misinformed.

        Looking back now, you’re right, you didn’t say anything about Apple’s build quality.

        I guess you were just arguing that poor build quality of other products isn’t a big deal because you could just fix it. But you wouldn’t be able to fix the Mac if that breaks I guess? I don’t know, that party is a bit confusing.

          I mean I have a Lenovo that matches their build quality. It’s not exclusive to them. It’s just not that important at this price point. I’d rather have better performance and repairability.
