Huh? The CPU has still one of the highest single core performance benchmarks on the market, especially considering it's fanless. The keyboard is also really good as they got rid of the butterfly in 2019, it is unfortunate, it has no backlight, and RAM is limited to 8 gigabytes. Otherwise, a good deal with how good the screen and speakers are, and solid aluminum build quality

Man, not OP so I do agree with everything else you said but the keyboard is only passable. Compared to laptops at this price range it is really good but overall? No way that keyboard can be considered good with that god awful key travel. I love my Neo for light tasks but no way I'm using that for any serious typing work.
