The Macbook Neo is a great laptop for a vast majority of users. Including myself. I spend nearly all of my time writing. I would say it is about 99% writing. However, I have been dabbling with AI, I think 10% of my time on my Macbook Air M2 are spend on experimenting with local LLM and vibe coding with Xcode and Python.

For example, I am so invested in Punch the monkey from Japan . Love the little guy and I request updates a couple of times every day. I send about 30-40 minutes working with AI on new report formats and, more importantly, I discuss with it my wor...
