A decided no. Why have two keyboards? Learn the one you have. That’s my philosophy. The reason is, if you go somewhere and you want to take your machine with you, do you really want to have to pack double? No thank you.

Aww, ah well. I guess that’s what we have USB keyboards and changing modifier keys in system settings for.
No number pad. That's the extended version. One thing I had to
learn was that "full" doesn't really mean full. No PageUp/Down, no
Home/End, no Insert/Delete. Those are all emulated via the FN (now
called Global) key.

A full Magic Keyboard, with the number pad?
For nearly double the price, the air isn’t
worth it. And you are wrong about the size model. For an
extra $100, you can have a full half terabyte drive and
a full Magic keyboard
Also, know this: the A – 18 chip is faster
than the M1.
I have not used a MacBook Neo, but my concern is that
it only has 8 GB RAM, and there is no upgrade option.
I would not recommend this MacBook to any
VoiceOver user, and would suggest a MacBook Air
instead.
I have ben using a Mac Book Neo since last
week. Voiceover feels as responsive as it is
on my M4 Mac book Air. My use is fairly
straight-forward with basic Office styles
apps, web browsers, and some audio production
software.
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.
Thanks
very much,
