I think Neo goes with a typical Apple premium, so it's not cheap for what it offers, BUT:

  • Many people are ready to pay that premium, maaning other manufacturers need to go way below that mark with a similar hardware, which benefits us, and
  • This is closest we've seen to a netbook for a while. This is good, we need them back!

netbook

Damn, I haven't heard that in a long time...and you're completely right. It is a netbook and we do need more of those in this new world(even though I don't like what that means(ownership of hardware or lack thereof)).
