Apple’s New iPad Air Is Better. But MacBook Neo Is the Real Story

from The Weekly Spark · host Mark Kelly

Apple announced a stack of new hardware this week, but only two products really caught my attention.The full list is fairly substantial: the iPhone 17e, a new iPad Air with the M4 chip, refreshed MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with M5 chips, an updated Studio Display, a higher-end Studio Display XDR, and the all-new MacBook Neo.I could spend ages going through all of them, but I want to focus on the two that sit right in the middle of what I talk about most: the new iPad Air and the MacBook Neo.And of those two, one feels rather more important than it first appears.📩 Subscribe to my regular(ish) newsletter - https://markdkelly.substack.com☕️ Buy me a virtual coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/markdkelIy75I've collated a massive list of all my favourite things on my website 👉🏻 https://www.markkelly.me/affiliate-links Get full access to The Spark! at markdkelly.substack.com/subscribe
