Feral announces Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition for Mac, releasing May 28. 3 DLC included, plus the others available for purchase, including The Last Chieftains.
So did any of you get the macbook neo, how is it to actually use? All the tech youtubers I follow were gushing over it when it came out and my feed was flooded with neo reviews for a while.

I didn’t buy one, but I got hands-on at an Apple Store, and was honestly impressed.
Same build quality and materials as the MacBook Pro, felt snappy and responsive for what little I did with it, really seems to be a perfect general-use laptop for probably 80% or laptop users.
Considering what some of the YouTubers and tech sites have done with them, such as editing 4K HDR videos and things like that, plus the benchmark scores, I don’t honestly think you can do better for the price, especially once refurbs are available.
o no folders within folders so files could get rather cluttered... o only one program could run at a time (no MacPaint and MacWrite)* o every time you quit the software it'd have to (almost) reload OS o no safe shut down option also this was a GUI OS not text-only OS o applications lacked option to change the directories for loading
* (though multiple "mini applet" could be run from the Apple menu)

There's actually a really good Wikipedia article on how that wasn't comprehensively addressed in Apple's software until System 5, when they added the optional MultiFinder extension, which became mandatory in System 7 (later renamed to Mac OS 7 around 7.5 or 7.6 from memory).
It's especially cool because it covers some of the pre-MultiFinder external tools, which I now want to play with..
Even after MultiFinder was standard, there were still tools like CPUDoubler (video by the author, at length) that would override its standard multitasking functionality to let you make sure applications that SHOULD be higher priority were given it, rather than having others hold them up.
Of course if the 'System' releases had been named rationally, System 5 & 6 would have been System 2.0 and System 2.1 and System 7 would have been System 3. But then, modern day Apple under the faggot Cook is back on that 'fake major release' bullshit.
After being a Windows fag for so long, I decided to make a significant sacrifice to my wallet and purchased a MacBook Air with 32 gigs of ram for personal use when I am on the road for work, which is often. The more I use it the more I love it. It feels more robust compared to my work laptop. Surprisingly, I can’t seem to locate the speakers, but wherever they are, they produce really good sound quality. Overall, I’m not regretting my purchase at all. Still gonna be a linux fag at home but it sure as hell beats watching family guy re-runs on TV.
Depending on the model, the speakers should be located in the 'slim recess between the keyboard and display hinge', and the sound comes through a 'hidden channel at the back just below the screen'
OR YOU CAN USE APPLE'S HELPFUL GRAPHIC.
(2 is the speakers, 3 is the microphone, 4 is the touch ID/power button and 5 is the trackpad)

its not crazy but its quite good if you didnt have a computer nor laptop to start with, especially if you own an iPhone or iPad or something
works well, very lightweight while feeling sturdy, doesnt lag when gaming or video editing, handles emulation...
the battery life is not egregious, although some programs can make it drop faster.... it charges fast, at least.
I think the usbc ports are stupid though, it should have an sd port, a usb port and the usb c port.
If thats unreasonable, so be it. let me live in fantasy land. it wasn't fantasy 10 years ago...?
the meat riding tech youtubers should tone it down a couple notches, but it is a nice laptop.
It's like crosshairs and viewmodel sizes in some games. If you're normal you naturally don't notice them, your brain phases past them centering it's focus; but if you're autistic, then suddenly it's a problem.
Almost like there's a correlation between tech and autism I just can't put my finger on...

You see the sections next to the keyboard with all the little dots?
Those are your speaker grilles. Apple spent tens of millions of dollars to figure out how to make speakers that fit in a laptop and don't sound like shit.
A lot of phone reviewers are just dumb, like the ones who spent years complaining that new phones were still just slabs, as if the years of products that failed hadn't shown that to be the best form factor for a phone.

Cook wasn't even around when they brought out System 7, that was when Jean-Pierre Gasee was doing his best to kill the company by pricing the hardware out of reach for most people.
The specs indicate the 11 Pro will see two years more of official support than the 11 will, and with the delta being the same or greater for each subsequent model year, it will likely continue to be the case that Pros will be supported for 2 to 4 more years than baseline iPhones.
No they don't. The 11 Pro gets ONE more year of official support. And there is no such difference for subsequent models. All you have to disprove that is post links.

used one the other day, the upgraded model with touch id and more storage and thats a no brainer move. the yellow really pops in person too, everyone seems to love it. only real downside is 8gb unified memory, but as ridiculous as it sounds for most normalfags browsing the web, it's plenty usable.
honestly, final nail in the coffin for windows trashbooks and not a moment too soon. core i3 tn-panel trash books with windows 11 are such a miserable experience you start to question your life choices in general that led you to owning one. microsoft and their hardware partners should be embarrassed.
i blame reviewer subhumans for the soygasming over small bezels too, as if .2mm is gonna make a difference. and when it comes to both phones and tablets, less bezel = harder and more annoying to hold because you get nowhere to rest your thumbs without a ton of spurious inputs.

I mean, I kind of want a Macbook Neo, but you're comparing a machine that starts at $600 to ones that are often under $200, and are actually pretty snappy once you kick Windows to the curb and install Linux. The build quality on them is TERRILE, though. I got one for $100 in a black Friday sale, installed Linux and a 1tb m.2 and turned it into a decent little machine. However, the hinges on the screen broke within a year and I ended up having to dump it off at ewaste. But again, that most likely wouldn't have happened with a $600 windows machine with some kind of aluminum body. It's really an apples to oranges comparison to compare machines priced to compete with Chromebooks with $600 laptops. People who were only willing to plunk down $200 on a cheap Lenovo machine with a TN panel aren't going to buy a $600 Macbook Neo. Someone who was going to buy a $500-$600 midrange Dell machine would absolutely buy a Neo, though.
