For far too long, video games have been besieged by the scourge of Dad Games. Things like the recent God of War entries and The Last of Us have popularized the idea of giving players some kind of paternal duty over a young, mostly helpless companion. It's played out and boring, among other things.
That's one of the reasons why I'm so into what I've seen of Capcom's upcoming Pragmata so far. This sci-fi third-person shooter, originally announced six years ago, has a similar enough premise to those other games I mentioned. You play as a guy named Hugh who finds himself needing to protect and work with a strange little girl named Diana as they try to escape a space station full of angry robots.
The difference, though, is that I would categorize Pragmata as more of an Uncle Game than a Dad Game. I got to play about 90 minutes of Pragmata at a press event recently, and it seems like a totally kick-ass action game with a really neat hacking-based hook, but the lighthearted interplay between Hugh and Diana was also significantly more endearing than the heavy-handed self-seriousness of something like The Last of Us.
SEE ALSO: How Resident Evil Survived Itself Pragmata is basically Resident Evil 4 with an air dash The hacking aspect of 'Pragmata' is extremely sick. Credit: CapcomIn case you haven't been following along with Pragmata's marketing (there's also a free demo available on every platform), the main thing to know is that it's a space-based third-person shooter with similar gameplay guts to that of the more action-oriented entries in Capcom's Resident Evil series.
Of course, Pragmata is not a horror game, so the vibe is pretty different. But at its core, this is still a game about carefully positioning yourself in the middle of overwhelming fights and trying to precisely line up shots on the weak points of enemies who (mostly) creepily move towards you in a slow manner. An obvious difference is that Hugh can also sprint, jump, and dash around the environment, giving it a much more fast-paced feel than you'd get as Leon S. Kennedy of the Resident Evil series.
These guys suck to fight. Credit: CapcomThe real meat of Pragmata's combat comes from Diana's hacking abilities. She sits on Hugh's shoulder at all times, and aiming at an enemy will bring up a square-based hacking grid that you navigate using the face buttons. In essence, you're doing a hacking mini-game while also running and shooting, and successfully hacking an enemy can open up weak spots or stun/slow them down. It is absolutely key to success, and the first time you do it, you'll immediately understand why it's a cool idea.
All of that had been known about Pragmata prior to this recent hands-on opportunity, though. One major new thing I got to see this time around was the game's hub area, which you can travel to from any checkpoint in the world. It's got a training range, upgrade stations, and even a friendly robot named Cabin who exists to help you do whatever you need to do in that space. Just from the demo I played, Pragmata seems like it's got a pretty satisfying upgrade loop to it. You collect different kinds of currency from exploring levels and defeating enemies, which you then use to upgrade Hugh's core functions like health, as well as all the different guns he uses along the way.
It's straightforward enough, but Capcom is one of the best purveyors of this type of single-player action game. I think they know a thing or two about player progression, and it showed in the demo I played.
Pragmata also has a ton of personality Of course, there are fun costumes to unlock. Credit: CapcomWhile the actual gameplay side of the demo didn't show me a ton I didn't already know about Pragmata, it was set in a substantially more interesting environment than we had seen previously. Specifically, I got to run around a weird, 3D-printed simulacra of Times Square in New York City, but inside a space station. Billboards and ads were full of fun references to other Capcom games like Ghouls 'n Ghosts, while the buildings and storefronts sometimes faded halfway out of existence because they clearly weren't fully completed before...whatever happened in this space station.
Going back to the whole "Uncle Game" thing, what impressed me most about Pragmata is the amount of heart there is in all of Hugh and Diana's interactions. She's never been to Earth, so Hugh spends most of the NYC level explaining various Earth concepts to her to sate her infinite curiosity on the subject. I especially dug a bit where Hugh mentioned that the fake NYC wasn't nearly as dirty as the real one.
Cabin's a cool dude. Credit: CapcomMost importantly, I didn't get a ton of paternal energy from what I saw between Hugh and Diana. There was one scene where he had to save her from her own curiosity, but other than that, what I played was bereft of Hugh scolding, lecturing, or otherwise acting like much of a parent towards Diana. Rather, he feels a bit more like an uncle who's been tasked with watching a kid for a weekend. Just like any good uncle, you can even find gifts in the world and give them to Diana in the hub area, at which point she will adorably go and play with them.
At this point I've only played about two combined hours of Pragmata at various press events, but every time I see it, I want to play the final game more and more. I really think Capcom has stumbled onto something very cool here, between the sweaty, stressful sci-fi combat and the cute interplay between its two leads. We'll find out pretty soon whether or not it holds up over the course of a full game.
Pragmata launches on April 17 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series consoles, and Nintendo Switch 2.
It took Apple six years to properly update the AirPods Max, and at first glance, it might seem like a fairly minor update. After all, the new AirPods Max 2 still look the same, come with the same case, and are even sold in the exact same five colors as their predecessor.
The new features mainly revolve around Apple's H2 chip, which has unlocked several smart features, as well as improved active noise cancellation (check our initial coverage for a rundown of what's new).
SEE ALSO: Apple launches AirPods Max 2 with improved noise cancelling and smart featuresHaving browsed through Apple's official tech specs, however, we've found that the new AirPods Max 2 have quite a bit new functionality that might not be apparent at first glance. Here's five hidden features we've found:
1. It's 'Siri' not 'Hey Siri'When you need to invoke Apple's smart assistant on the new AirPods Max 2, you can just say "Siri" to do so. On AirPods that sport the old H2 chip, you need to say "Hey Siri." It's a small difference, but it saves time (for some, at least; I've gotten so accustomed to the "hey" part that I'll probably just keep saying it).
The buttons are the same as before. But you might not need to touch them as often, as Siri Interactions are now supported. Credit: AppleYou can now also respond to Siri via head gestures; just nod or shake your head for a "yes" or "no" answer.
2. Loud Sound ReductionThe Loud Sound Reduction feature, already present in the latest AirPods Pro, helps you prevent exposure to loud environmental noise, such as a car horn.
While Apple highlighted this one in its press release accompanying the AirPods Max 2 launch, we're mentioning it here because it does not show up in Apple's comparison tool. It is, however, listed in the official tech specs for AirPods Max 2.
The Loud Sound Reduction feature is on by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio listening modes.
3. Bluetooth 5.3 vs. 5.0The AirPods Max 2 come with Bluetooth 5.3, as opposed to Bluetooth 5.0 on the AirPods Max with USB-C. In theory, this should mean lower power usage, improved connectivity, and quicker connections with other devices. Wireless audio latency has also been reduced, which is great news for music creators and gamers.
Featured Video For You How TikTok is Changing the Music Industry 4. New high dynamic range amplifier: Yes, but, what can it do?Apple mentioned that the AirPods Max 2 have a new high dynamic range amplifier, but the company only said this enables "even cleaner audio while maintaining the incredible sound signature of AirPods Max".
Cleaner sound at higher volumes. Credit: AppleWhile that's pretty vague, we can tell you that the high dynamic range amplifier's job is to amplify an audio signal while keeping noise and distortion low. We can also take a look at the latest AirPods Pro 3, which also feature a new, custom high dynamic range amplifier. In our review, we found they sound significantly better than their predecessor.
Based on that, and given that the AirPods Pro 3 also feature Apple's H3 chip, we can predict that the AirPods Max 2 will not only have cleaner audio, but also an improved soundstage, accurate sound reproduction at higher volumes, and the benefits should also be audible in Spatial Audio.
If you dig into Apple's "learn more" bits on the AirPods Max 2 official page, you'll find an explanation that matches the above. "Modeled after those in high‑end floor‑standing speakers, the driver’s dual‑neodymium ring magnet motor minimizes total harmonic distortion across the entire audible range. With the new high dynamic range amplifier, the result is consistently clear playback, even at higher volumes," it says.
5. Your old case still fitsPerhaps the worst, or at least most divisive, features of the AirPods Max are their odd, bra-like case that doesn't really do a great job of protecting the headphones. Yes, you get it included in the price, but it's just...odd. Fortunately, there's a number of great, third-party cases that are compatible with Apple's sleep mode, meaning the AirPods Max won't drain too much battery when they're in the case.
If you have the old AirPods Max and are thinking of upgrading, and you're wondering whether your old third-party case will fit the new ones, we've got good news. We've compared the weight and size specs for the AirPods Max 2 and the original AirPods Max headphones, and they're exactly the same: 187.3 x 168.6 x 83.44 mililmeters, weighing exactly 386.2 grams. We'd prefer it if Apple shed some of that weight, but at least your old case will fit.

Have you ever wished that you could simply make a run to the Amazon store instead of waiting *shudders* a business day? Well, Amazon just announced the next best thing — or the first best thing, if you'd prefer to not leave your house: Depending on where you live, three-hour or one-hour Amazon delivery could be a thing now.
Three-hour Amazon delivery is available for folks in more than 2,000 cities and towns in the US, and one-hour Amazon delivery is available in hundreds. (Head to amazon.com/getitfast to see your delivery options.)
Eligible items are the types of things for which you'd typically make a Target run: pantry staples, cleaning supplies, health and beauty items, baby essentials, and over-the-counter medications. Other categories include electronics, toys, clothing and accessories, and home and garden.

You don't need to be a Prime member to get access to most Big Spring Deals, nor do you have to be a Prime member to get one-hour or three-hour delivery as an option. However, speedy delivery is much cheaper for Prime members: One-hour costs $9.99 with Prime or $19.99 without Prime, and three-hour costs $4.99 with Prime or $14.99 without Prime.
It'd be nice if Amazon revived its free $5 delivery driver tip from the holidays in honor of this new delivery milestone. But either way, don't forget to tip your driver.
TL;DR: Ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, Pokémon fans can already grab the Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest – Fall 2025 for $47.30, down from $57.99, and lock in a preorder for the Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 for $59.99 before its March 20 release.
A quick look at the best Amazon Spring Sale Pokémon deals: Our Top Pick Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest - Fall 2025 $47.30 at Amazon (save $10.69) Shop Now Best Preorder Pick Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 $59.99 at Amazon Shop NowAmazon’s Big Spring Sale is almost here, but if you’re a keen Pokémon collector who’s already hoping to save money both on the trading card game, video games, and more, there are plenty of bargains already going right now — starting with the Pokémon TCG.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Our pick: The Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest - Fall 2025 $47.30 at AmazonThe early standout is the Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest – Fall 2025, which is marked down to $47.30 from its $57.99 list price. That’s an 18% discount, or $10.69 in savings, on a bundle that packs in more than just booster packs.
The tin includes six Pokémon TCG booster packs, three foil cards featuring Ralts, Kirlia, and Riolu, a Mega Lucario coin, four sticker sheets, and a mini portfolio for storage.
The included six booster packs, according to imagery, are two each of Destined Rivals, Journey Together, and Mega Evolution — each costing between $10 and $15 individually. With that, you’re saving at least $12.70 on the booster packs alone, even before you take the promo cards and storage case into account.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Best preorder pick: Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 $59.99 at AmazonThe second option is less of a markdown and more of a strategic preorder for anyone trying to get ahead of the rush. The Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 1 is available to preorder for $59.99 and is set to release on March 20.
This set, along with a booster pack each of Phantasmal Flames and Mega Evolution, includes one booster pack containing three of nine illustration rare-style promo cards themed around first partner Pokémon from the Kanto, Sinnoh, or Alola regions, plus a sticker sheet.
Currently, this only sits $5 above market price on TCGplayer — and is nearly $5 cheaper than any listing available there, as well. Because this is a limited collection, we expect the value of the First Partner Illustration Collection to go way up once there’s less availability after its release date.
Pokemon TCG: Mega Evolution: Ascended Heroes: 2-Pack Blister (Random Promo) — $29.95 $31.37 (save $1.42)

Boox is debuting a new generation of Go e-readers and e-ink tablets. The Boox Go 10.3-inch e-ink tablet, which resembles the Kindle Scribe, is on its second generation and now comes in two models: the standard Go 10.3 and the Go 10.3 Lumi. The latter features a dual-tone front light, designed for reading in low light.
The new Boox Go 10.3 e-ink tablets are ultra thin, just 4.6mm thick. Credit: BooxThe previous generation of Boox Go 10.3 had the Android 12 system, but Gen II is upgrading to Android 15. With access to the Google Play Store, you have access to millions of apps, including all the reading essentials — Libby, The Kindle Store, and Kobo e-books. The tablet supports 26 file formats, including PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DOCX, MP3, and more. It's even equipped with speakers for audiobook listeners. It comes with a whopping 64GB of storage, four times the amount of storage you can find in most e-readers.
The Boox Go 10.3 measures 4.6 millimeters thick and 12.7 ounces, while the Lumi is barely bigger, measuring 4.8 millimeters and 12.8 ounces to support the added front light. Both models have 300 ppi resolution, the same you'll find in the Kindle Scribe. Boox Go e-ink tablets come with the Boox Magnetic InkSense Plus stylus and a slim magnetic case, so it's like a digital notebook.
The Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) costs $419.99 while the Boox Go 10.3 Lumi (Gen II) costs $449.99. As of March 17, both models are available for purchase at Boox and Amazon.
Having recently tested and loved the new generation of Kindle Scribe, we're looking forward to putting it head-to-head with the new Boox Go to see which is the better e-reader and e-ink tablet.

Best early AirPods 4 deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple AirPods 4 (Without ANC) $99 at AmazonIf you're not looking to drop a ton of cash on new earbuds, one of our favorite early deals is on the AirPods 4 without Active Noise Cancellation.

"What a news flash that Jake Paul wants to run for office!" Kimmel said. "That's also Trump's fault. You see what you did? You've inspired a whole generation of muppet-brained numbskulls to want to be president.
"I mean really. We're gonna look back at Donald Trump one day like he was Thomas Jefferson when we have Jake Paul in the White House."
Marshall, purveyor of vintage-inspired headphones and speakers, is launching its second party speaker, the Bromley 450. The 450 is a lightweight and compact companion to Marshall's first party speaker, the Bromley 750. But despite its smaller stature, it has a big presence in the loudest of rooms.
“With Bromley 450, our goal was to take everything we loved about the Bromley 750 and bring it into a more compact form. It delivers the same signature sound: fast, powerful bass, clean mids, and detailed highs," says Malcolm Kennedy, Director of Audio & Acoustics at Marshall Group.
The Bromley 450 includes integrated lights inspired by '70s stages. Credit: MarshallThe Bromley 450 comes with True Stereophonic 360 sound and over 40 hours of battery life. We've come to expect long battery life in Marshall's devices, having tested the Marshall Major V headphones, which have over 100 hours of battery life. It's encased in a water-based PU leather wrap with a metal grate toting Marshall's signature logo as well as integrated lights. Hanna Wallner, Product Manager at Marshall Group, adds, "This speaker is smaller and more affordable yet still packed with impressive features including sound that hits every corner, a stage light-inspired light show, and our unique Marshall design.”
Just over 26 pounds, the Bromley 450 is easy to tote around with its built-in handle. Credit: MarshallUnlike the Bromley 750, which can be wheeled like a suitcase, the Bromley 450 has a built-in handle, meaning you will have to carry it by hand. Luckily, it's lightweight, weighing just over 26 pounds. It's fit for gatherings both indoors and outside with an IP55 rating, making it dust and splash-proof. It includes two combo jacks so you can equip it with mics or DJ equipment.
The speaker has Bluetooth and Auracast, allowing you to connect other Auracast devices for surround sound. The Bromley 450 retails for $799.99 and will be available to shop starting March 31.

Netflix has released the trailer for documentary BTS: The Return, which will go behind the scenes of the K-pop icons' reformation in Los Angeles, the recording of their upcoming fifth album ARIRANG, and the pressure they're under to "return."
One of the biggest pop groups in the world, BTS announced a hiatus in June 2022 in order for members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook to fulfil South Korea's mandatory military service (which they all completed by June 2025), as well as spending time on solo projects.
Directed by Bao Nguyen (The Greatest Night in Pop) and produced by BTS' label HYBE, Martha, and Karol G, the documentary links up with BTS ahead of the release of ARIRANG and the monster world tour they're about to embark on. It's an emotional, uplifting trailer, and fans longtime and new will delight at seeing the Bangtan Boys back together.
And it's not the only BTS-Netflix collab up ahead...
We're getting closer to the New Moon part of the lunar cycle, which is why it appears hardly visible tonight.
What is today’s Moon phase?As of Tuesday, March 17, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 4% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
There’s barely any of the Moon lit up tonight, so you won’t be able to see any surface features.
When is the next Full Moon?In North America, the next Full Moon is predicted to take place on April 1.
What are Moon phases?NASA says the Moon takes about 29.5 days to orbit Earth, going through eight different phases. We always see the same side, but the Sun lights up different portions as it moves, which is why it can look full, half, or just a thin sliver. These changing shapes are called the lunar phases, and there are eight in total:
New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Apple's next big hit is here. The colorful new budget MacBook Neo debuted to rave reviews, and a couple configurations were already backordered weeks out the day after its March 11 launch. With a starting price of just $599 (or $499 for students), the Neo marks an exciting entry-level addition to Apple's lineup — not to mention brutal competition for cheap Windows laptops.
We've already stacked the Neo against the latest MacBook Air, which Apple just updated with a supercharged M5 chip. But how does the Neo compare to older MacBook Airs? Previous models with M1, M2, M3, and M4 chips are still somewhat readily available, mainly on the refurbished market, and they can be viable options for budget buyers, too. Let's dive right into the nitty-gritty details.
MacBook Neo vs. older MacBook Airs: Specs The MacBook Neo is Apple's smallest laptop in seven years. Credit: Joe Maldonado / MashableAs a refresher, here's a brief M-series MacBook Air release timeline:
M1 MacBook Air (13-inch) — November 2020
M2 MacBook Air (13-inch) — July 2022; 15-inch version launched in June 2023
M3 MacBook Air (13- and 15-inch) — March 2024
M4 MacBook Air (13- and 15-inch) — March 2025
Unlike the MacBook Airs, which run on ARM-based laptop silicon, the MacBook Neo runs on an iPhone processor — the A18 Pro chip, specifically. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as you'll see later in the "Performance" section. Smartphone chips are crazy-overpowered nowadays.
The MacBook Neo's memory is fixed at 8GB. (This is probably its biggest drawback.) Most older MacBook Airs also start with 8GB of RAM, but users have the option to upgrade them. The M1 model can get bumped to 16GB of RAM, while the M2 and M3 models are configurable with up to 24GB of RAM. The M4 MacBook Air starts with 16GB of memory and maxes out with 32GB.
SEE ALSO: MacBook Neo: Great price, but you need to take a close look at those specsWith the MacBook Neo, you can take your pick from two storage options. It comes with 256GB of disk space for $599 or 512GB for $699. (The latter also adds a Touch ID sensor to its power button.) The older MacBook Airs have four storage variants: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB.
The MacBook Neo and the M1 MacBook Air both come in one 13-inch size, but M1 Air is technically 13.3 inches on the diagonal, while the Neo measures 13 inches exactly. (It's Apple's smallest MacBook in seven years.) The M2, M3, and M4 MacBook Airs come in 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch sizes.
MacBook Neo vs. older MacBook Airs: Pricing and availability Apple sold the M1 MacBook Air through Walmart for around $699 until early 2026. Credit: Zlata Ivleva / mashableAgain, the MacBook Neo costs $599 or $699 depending on your storage and Touch ID preferences. College students, their parents, and school staff can save $100 on either configuration with the Apple Store's clutch education discount.
The older M-series MacBook Airs originally started at $999 to $1,299, minus $100 for education buyers. Third-party retailers were still selling the M4 model in new condition as of mid-March — Apple only just discontinued it — though its availability fluctuates, and it's usually full price or close to it. (Gone are the days of the $749 M4 MacBook Air deal.)
Refurbished M4 Airs aren't dramatically cheaper yet: At present, they range from $899 to $1,199 in limited configurations. Expect to see steeper price cuts in about a year or so.
SEE ALSO: MacBook Neo's real killer feature: Its $499 education pricingM1, M2, and M3 MacBook Airs are pretty rare to find in stock brand-new these days. (Apple no longer sells the M1 through Walmart.) So if you want one of those models, you'll have to lean on the refurbished market. They tend to be much more tempting buys at $800 or less, but they tend to sell out much faster as a result.
For reference, here's how much Best Buy was charging for new-to-you base models at the time of writing. M2 and M3 variants with double the RAM were $50 extra:
M1 MacBook Air (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Certified Refurbished — $449.99
M2 MacBook Air, 13-inch (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished — $639.99 $749 (save $109.01)
M3 MacBook Air, 13-inch (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished — $769.99 $849 (save $79.01)
The Neo is still cheaper than most of your refurbished options, with or without Apple's education offer. But can it handle your daily workload? That's the real question.
MacBook Neo vs. older MacBook Airs: Performance The M2 MacBook Air is roughly 14 percent faster in multi-core scenarios compared to the MacBook Neo. Credit: Molly Flores / MashableHere at Mashable dot com, we measure laptops' performance by having them run Primate Labs' Geekbench 6 CPU test. This industry-standard benchmark produces two kinds of scores: a single-core score, which tells us how snappy the laptop will feel in everyday tasks (like web browsing), and a multi-core score, which tells us how well it can plow through more intensive workloads (like video rendering). The higher the scores, the better.
Apple's overachieving A-series chips have been making iPhones as powerful as some laptops for years, so it's actually not that weird to see one fueling a MacBook.
The MacBook Neo offers M4-tier single-core performance and M1-level multi-core performance. Since it's geared toward users with basic needs, that single-core result is more important — and very impressive. It means the Neo will feel just as zippy as a pricier last-gen MacBook Air when you're sending emails or online shopping. It definitely punches above its budget price point in this regard.
That isn't to say the Neo won't be usable for some lighter multi-core work. (Our tech editor used one to edit a simple video in Final Cut Pro.) It just won't be nearly as good for running a bunch of heavier apps at the same time. You'll want an M3 or M4 MacBook Air for that, or possibly even a MacBook Pro.
MacBook Neo vs. older MacBook Airs: Battery life The M3 MacBook Air offers about 21.5 hours of battery life. Credit: Kimberly Gedeon / MashableApple rated the MacBook Neo for up to 16 hours of video playback and all of the older MacBook Airs for up to 18 hours. We put those claims through our own video rundown test to see how they translate to real-world use.
Indeed, all of the MacBook Airs from the past six years outlast the MacBook Neo, which has an actual battery life of around 15 hours of video playback per charge. It should still get you through a full day of school or travel with some juice to spare.
For what it's worth, the Neo's 15-hour runtime beats our current battery life medians for Windows laptops and Chromebooks (14 hours and 10 hours, respectively).
MacBook Neo vs. older MacBook Airs: Design The M4 MacBook Air features an incredible 12MP Center Stage webcam. Credit: Stan Schroeder / MashableThe MacBook Neo has the same fully aluminum build as all of the older MacBook Airs. It's roughly the same size as the M1 MacBook Air, but its chassis is shaped more like the M2 to M4 MacBook Airs. Those three models have a flat "slab" design, while the M1 MacBook Air has a tapered "wedge" design. (Read more about the MacBook Air's 2022 makeover.)
The MacBook Neo weighs the same as a 13-inch M2, M3, or M4 MacBook Air, but it's slightly thicker. The M1 MacBook Air is both heavier and thicker than all of them.
SEE ALSO: Apple MacBook Neo is not only cheaper than other Macs, it's also easier to repairApple had to make some hardware sacrifices to make the MacBook Neo cheap from the jump, but it's nicer than the M1 MacBook Air in a few small ways:
Display: The Neo's display lacks the Airs' True Tone feature for natural-looking colors, but it has the same 60Hz refresh rate and crisp Liquid Retina technology. It's just as bright as the M2 to M4 models' screens; the M1 Air is slightly dimmer.
Keyboard: The Neo lacks keyboard backlighting and Touch ID (unless you pay $100 extra).
Trackpad: The Neo's mechanical touchpad lacks haptic feedback.
Webcam: The Neo's camera has same 1080p resolution as the M2 and M3 Airs' webcam. It's better than the M1 model's 720p camera but worse than the M4 model's 12MP Center Stage camera with Desk View support. It's housed in the upper bezel of the Neo's display (an M1 Air relic), not a notch.
Speakers: The Neo has two fewer speakers than the 13-inch M2, M3, and M4 Airs. (Their 15-inch counterparts have two more speakers for a total of six.) The Neo does support Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos like the M2 to M4 Airs, but it lacks their dynamic head tracking support with AirPods. The M1 Air has Dolby Atmos but no Spatial Audio.
Mic array: The Neo has one fewer mic than the M-series Airs (two instead of three).
Ports: The Neo lacks the Airs' speedy Thunderbolt ports. The M3 and M4 models can also drive an extra external display (two instead of one).
Connectivity. The Neo has same WiFi 6E tech as the M3 and M4 Airs (the M1 and M2 models have WiFi 6). The Neo has newer Bluetooth 6 tech than all of the older Airs.
The MacBook Airs come in neutrals. (Let's not pretend that "sky blue" is anything more than a cooler gray.) The Neo, in contrast, is available in a few wilder new colors:
M1 MacBook Air — silver, space gray, and gold
M2 MacBook Air — silver, space gray, starlight, and midnight
M3 MacBook Air — silver, space gray, starlight, and midnight
M4 MacBook Air — silver, starlight, midnight, and sky blue
MacBook Neo — silver, indigo, blush, and citrus
"Wild" is relative, by the way. My kingdom for a (PRODUCT)RED MacBook.
Final thoughts: Should you get a MacBook Neo or an older MacBook Air? Neo or nah? Credit: Joe Maldonado / MashableYour decision will come down to two factors: what you need your MacBook for and how much you want to spend on it.
The MacBook Neo is a basic starter PC with limited RAM and features, but an enticingly affordable price. It's technically not designed to compete with MacBook Airs, but I can see shoppers with ultra-strict budgets weighing it closely against a cheap base M1 MacBook Air. In this case, I'd go with the Neo for future-proofing and vastly better single-core performance. The fact that it's missing True Tone, backlighting, a haptic touchpad, and Thunderbolt support shouldn't be dealbreakers for students and casual users with light workloads.
SEE ALSO: MacBook Neo review: I think Apple's going to sell millions of theseIf you already own an M1 MacBook Air, don't bother buying a Neo. It would be a lateral move, not an upgrade.
A MacBook Air with an M2 chip or newer is a better, more well-rounded laptop than the Neo in almost every way; I think creative professionals and multitasking-happy business users who rely on heavier apps will see plenty of merit in the price bump. Try to find a configuration with at least 16GB of RAM — and be prepared to maybe hunt around for a while, since retailers' inventories can be fickle. With the global RAM shortage driving up new laptop prices, and the M5 MacBook Air now starting at $1,099 — an excellent value, but still — I expect M2 to M4 Airs in new or good used condition to fly off shelves in the coming months.
