Re: Macbook NEO with VoiceOVER

[Steve Matzura]

I am not generally an early adopter, but I got one! Been using it for almost a week now and I absolutely love it. It replaced an iPad mini, which I didn’t like because I wasn’t comfortable with the gestures in landscape on a big screen. I know, I said mini, which implies a small screen. However, as compared with a phone, it’s pretty big. I also much prefer a real keyboard with fully functional voiceover, which the mini obviously does not have. However, there’s always a “however,“ I had a keyboard for my mini, but I didn’t like it. The keys were smaller and closer together. I suppose I could have gotten used to that if it were a full function implementation of iOS, but it isn’t. Suffice it to say, if you are looking for an entry-level Mac, go for the neo. It’s a fine machine. On Mar 15, 2026, at 9:37 PM, Shai <shai...@gmail.com> wrote:  Hello everyone, I’m wondering if anyone on the list has had the opportunity to evaluate the MacBook Neo. I’m curious how well it performs with VoiceOver and other macOS accessibility tools in real-world use. Specifically, I’d be interested to know whether the Neo feels smooth and responsive when using VoiceOver, navigating the system, and running typical productivity apps. Do the specs seem sufficient for accessibility workflows, or would you recommend opting for a more robust MacBook model instead? Any experiences, impressions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
