The launch follows a familiar script.
Apple’s “new” repairable laptop is just a laptop with screws that can be unscrewed. The MacBook Neo’s “innovative” design is actually just a rehash of old ideas. Apple claims this is a “big step forward” for sustainability. Because, you know, making things easier to repair is a totally new concept.
