The thing here is I doubt many people care that it’s a little slower. The price point makes it an excellent computer without a decent operating system.
The alternative is a crappy computer with a horrible operating system.

Good read. I get the point about real world usage, but I still feel like Neo might fall short with how fast things are getting heavier, especially with Node and modern dev workflows.
Feels fine today, but not sure how well it holds up a couple years down the line.

Umm, for the past 5+ years or so PC SSDs have have generally been as fast or faster than what Apple has been shipping. When Apple moved to NVMe they did so before the PC industry for the most part and had some advantage but they got eclipsed.
