In this video we talk about the idea of a Mac Neo: a Mac that’s smaller than a Mac mini and powered by an iPhone chip. It’s not a leak or a rumor, it’s a straight-up concept, and we break down why this one simple mashup feels oddly believable. If you’ve ever looked at the Mac mini and thought “what if it got even smaller,” this is that thought experiment, focused on one core question: what happens when you take the iPhone chip approach and apply it to a tiny desktop Mac?

What about this idea? A Mac Neo command AI. So, this is similar to the MacBook, the new MacBook uh Mac Neo. And yeah, I really like this idea, but not $3.99. What? Why not for $2.99? There is like there is nothing in it. There is just a chip and you know the the things around it. It's going to probably cost Apple 50 bucks. I don't know. I don't know actually. But I think they could do it for $299. Well, couple of things. First of all, what if I was to tell you this already exists? Before the M1 was released, they released a developer unit of a Mac Mini with a a probably probably 18 or 16 or something like that. An A series chip. Okay. Which and then shortly afterwards then the M1 came out, right? And that is just a rebranded A series chip. They just rebranded it to from a marketing standpoint. It's the it's the same chip that was in a iPhone pretty much. So it realistically this is just an M1, probably more an M2, maybe an M2 Mac, but like so that's that. Um yeah secondly and people have been comparing the Mac the MacBook Neo to the 12in laptop but they are vastly different products. They are aimed at completely different audiences. The Mac Neo is for kids to introduce them to Macs. you know, they don't do a lot on their whatever. Desktop arguably is um geared more towards quite naturally more towards power users because it's, you know, it needs extra juice and whatever. So, I don't know. I don't know. It looks nice though. It looks fun. But I I feel like this is this can be really fun. Like you have this for you. Yeah. Yeah. for open claw like for some light work that you can have for offices. This this could work for many offices. I feel like people might you know stick it to the back of a monitor and you you can have something proper for very cheap very very mass offices like cuz like yeah most people just buy MacBook Airs. I do think a lot of people do prefer laptops. is a reason why the MacBook Neo exists. Cuz the MacBook Mini, Mac Mini at one point was the gateway drug to Apple, but that was in the days where desktop computers were still quite popular, but now the laptop has just taken over now as a well, yeah, all in one. This is part of a larger conversation on my show, Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web.
