THE FUSE

I’ve always been a generation or two behind on the general consumer electronics curve. My family didn’t get a home PC until late into the ’90s. I had a desktop in college instead of a laptop because it was cheaper. My first cellphone was pay-as-you go and my first smartphone wasn’t until 2012. Cutting-edge electronics, especially of the high-end variety, just have never been a part of my life. I spend every day of my life writing online and my laptop is a 10-year-old Asus Zenbook that’s missing three keyboard keys. All of which is to say that the new Apple Macbook Neo is the budget Apple laptop I’ve been waiting for.
