You’d expect Windows Central to be pretty adamant in favoring Windows laptops over any MacBook. Yet not only the website itself, but also its readers, see the MacBook Neo as a move that should see Microsoft panicking.

People would point to Apple’s cheapest laptop costing $1,000 and loudly proclaim that you could buy a Windows machine or Chromebook from around $300. The comparison was of course spurious. The cheap laptops being used to make the argument were ugly plastic things with exceedingly poor specs compared to the MacBook Air. Still, it was undeniable that a four-figure starting price did prove a barrier to a lot of people – but all that has changed with the MacBook Neo … more…

I recently got my hands on the Blackmagic Camera ProDock and used it to build out a production-ready iPhone camera rig. With a single USB-C cable, I was able to connect an external SSD, wireless microphone, HDMI monitor, and an Ethernet adapter to my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

It, coupled with a few spare parts I had lying around, allowed me to turn last generation’s flagship iPhone 16 Pro Max into a powerful ProRes-shooting and live-streaming camera rig. more…
