The MacBook Neo is a sensation. Soon after Apple launched the $599 laptop and I posted quick first looks on various social media, I was stunned at the response. Thousands of likes, hundreds of reshares. People were jazzed, intrigued, confused, and some were put off.
Still, I was shocked at the level of interest. This could be Apple's first true everyperson portable PC, and I realized that the mania reminded me of another hyped product: the netbook.
