This is so weird and vague; I am not interested for fear of all of it being for space defense. Nope for me.

Agreed.

That said if this bothers you I highly recommend not looking up how many Space Shuttle missions are classified.

Technology and defense technology have been inextricably linked since the wheel and fire were new technologies.

So what? Doesn’t mean I have to be a part of it or support it.

Of course you don't have to, it just seems a bit hypocritical to complain about it over DoD's TCP/IP.

Ads, trackers, general boost to privacy. Not every protection tool is just about malware.

I really don’t understand the lack of mobile access. Even requesting desktop site changes nothing.

You really can’t make what’s effectively a slideshow/streetview work on mobile?

I don’t care if it’s not as good on mobile, just that I can access it.

Seems like a cool idea, but not about to hop over to my desktop to check it out though.

Not to mention the constant flashing on the mobile page.

No. It does 80Gbps.

Derp, didn’t read closely enough. Thanks

No, it does 80 Gb/s. With encoding loss it’s closer to 8GB/s

Which ones of those can do notifications, health tracking, sleep cycle, temperature/blood pressure? I’ll wait.

Garmin.

Couldn’t agree more. Those amalgam windows mobile devices were an interesting for the time, but hellish experience imho.

Thank you, point well made!

>Look at laptop reviews from places like Just Josh Tech on YouTube

I stopped reading here.

Okay? So you don’t look at reviews or something? What’s the problem that made you stop reading?

I will be absolutely shocked if any current pc company can even approach the neos build quality/performance/price combo. See you next year, happy to wait .

I think we’ll actually see some serious responses from PC manufacturers. They basically have to.

They really aren’t that far off as it is. I’ve brought up a number of similarly priced models in my other comments on this thread.

Even on the premium end, the surface laptop really isn’t that far off on pricing. It was priced and specced to essentially match the Air. I think there’s no reason a cut down model couldn’t match the Neo.

I think the most important thing is for Microsoft to crack down more on OEMs’ use of third party junkware like McAfee. They need to just disallow it as a hard policy. Hopefully the Neo is also a wake up call to Microsoft.

I also think that an x86 processor that performs 20-40% slower really isn’t a big deal in the context of the Neo’s competitors. They mostly need to match the pricing and build quality. Nobody cares that the hybrid Toyota Corolla is slower than the hybrid Honda Civic when they go buy the car. They care that it has the attributes they’re looking for (packaging, reliability, quality, price). And I think the Neo’s great chip is hampered by RAM anyway. The SoC package was designed for a mobile system that only has partial multitasking.
