@cell guess it depends. for Windows users a Macbook Neo would be much better than a modern Thinkpad. for Linux users who can settle for a 7 year old Thinkpad workstation with 64GB RAM for the price of the Neo...?

@kaia @cell give me a Thinkpad from 13 years any day

@kaia @cell dont get u. u cant install windows on a mac neo. used laptops are much better price/feature wise.

@cell @kaia tbh i wouldnt recommend that to anyone. 8gb ram and 4gb vm

@cell @kaia i think the big plus is u can use mac specific software liek logic pro

@grillchen @kaia @cell Heh, I still launch most of my VMs with 1024MB or 1536MB of RAM, but well Linux/BSDs/Haiku/… really don't need much.

@lanodan @kaia @cell official minimum is 4gb of ram. win 11 takes more than win 10 thats why some peeps think ubuntu with gnome is lightweight^^
