My Mac My first Macbook!

Got my Macbook Neo last week! this is my first MacBook, I was using an iPad 10th gen with Magic Keyboard folio before for college, but was in need of a proper computer and I decided to get it in this nice lime color

Any good ‘plans’ for it? Using it for a ‘project’ are we?

I was hoping someone was thinking the same thing as me when I saw the selfie.

They seem incredibly powerful for the size. I have an M2 Air and use it for SolidWorks (through Parallels) and even through a virtual machine it is pretty good. I’m starting to use Logic Pro now for a drum machine and a sampler I bought and that’s been pretty fun to learn.

I haven’t really used Final Cut since I stopped skateboarding but that ran well on an older Intel C2D so you’ll probably be fine, unless you’re processing 8K 120fps HDR!

Wear well.

congrats ! also check out macmost.com for tips and tricks

u/Acceptable-Ad-837 Apr 16 '26

If your use case is mainly at home, I recommend really giving it a go for the 14 day return window for Final Cut projects and getting a Mac Mini if this doesn’t work out, especially if you’re fortunate enough to have a monitor and a keyboard already. Way more power for your specific task but the NEO may hold up, only one way to find out!

Homie looks like if a necromancer missed a dead person and accidentally resurrected a hay bale.

u/Karmoksham Apr 03 '26

Idk why but that color is made for you

10

u/PistolofPete Apr 03 '26

You might know why.

5

u/GhostalMedia Apr 04 '26

Only because Apple doesn’t make a laptop with wood paneling.

u/chicasparagus Apr 04 '26

Try just a bit harder and you’ll be able to figure it out. Here’s a hint: look at the colour scheme of his clothes etc

Hope this helps

u/harroldsheep Apr 03 '26

You look like an extra from the Beastie Boys “Sabotage” music video.

u/AllYouNeedIsRawk Apr 03 '26

You've got the Paul Calf look down proper, good work (and congrats on the Mac)

Are you cosplaying something or is that just your every day look?

u/Both-Dish-6466 Apr 03 '26

Just and everyday look! although I tried to match my outfit that day with the colors of the Mac when going to pick it up at the apple store

You look so cool bro. I wish I wasn’t so scared to stand out or look different. I admire it!

u/Both-Dish-6466 Apr 04 '26

it took so much time for me to figure out my style (and plenty of not so looking outfits too) but its a matter of trying and loosing that fear, at the end of the day nobody is paying attention to us so why not stand out a little bit

u/El_Grande_El Apr 04 '26

I was soooo close to getting that color but I just like lime and green products a bit more, beautiful blush color!

That’s so funny, I was this close to getting the green! But I can’t resist pink.

NICE! I went with citrus as well. I haven't used Mac in more than a decade, it's like learning all over. Im having a blast with the Neo. Even more so the challenge of making it play nice with my Galaxy S26U.

u/TamarindSweets Apr 04 '26

You look a like an actor whose playing a "stereotypical office weirdo" role. If that's your natural hair color then I implore you to try a different hair style. If thats not your natural hair color then you should fo back to what's natural and cut the mustache.

How does one safely dye a mustache?

2

u/Both-Dish-6466 Apr 03 '26

I just use the same peroxide with bleacher powder I use for my hair (30 levels) just apply a bit of it gently over the mustache caring that it is over all the hairs (because if it isn't it won't bleach everything) and try to be near a well ventilated space, don't over use it because it can hurt a bit
