What did you say? I thought so...

Microsoft came out to counter the popularity of the MacBook Neo by supporting research from market analytics firm Signal65 that compared many Windows notebooks to Apple's new low-cost laptops, bringing in more value for money, more features, and superior performance in some ways.

.

The main calibrated model is the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x, which starts at $549.99, around $17,500, or in a similar range to the MacBook Neo that starts at $499, around $16,000 for college students and $599, around $19,000 for general users.

.

Signal65 research indicates that the IdeaPad Slim 3x has several advantages over the MacBook Neo, such as a 15.3-inch bigger screen versus 13-inch, 16GB of default RAM, while the initial 8GB MacBook Neo supports Wi-Fi 7, with a fully connected port over both USB-A, HDMI, and SD Card, as well as having a Backlit keyboard, touchscreen, and a fingerprint scan sensor as standard.

.

On the performance side, the research also claims that the Snapdragon X1 in the IdeaPad Slim 3x achieves a Multi-core score on Cinebench 2026 by around 90% higher than the A18 Pro. In addition, battery tests from Tom's Guide indicate that Lenovo's notebook lasts 16 hours and 29 minutes longer than the MacBook Neo achieved 13 hours and 28 minutes.

.

However, the MacBook Neo also has several strengths, such as a finer and brighter Retina screen, a full-body metal body, a 1080p webcam camera, as well as a Trackpad, and a speaker that many reviews view as better than Windows notebooks in the same price range. Apple's macOS and Ecosystem are also key selling points, especially those that are compatible with the iPhone, iPad, or other Apple devices.

.

After all, despite the support of Microsoft and the clear goal of raising the Windows side, it reflects that the low-cost notebook market is becoming more competitive, which is good for consumers, because both MacBook Neo and Windows notebooks have pros and cons, depending on the budget, usage model, and Ecosystem that each chooses to use.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ใช้งานโน้ตบุ๊กราคาประหยัดในกลุ่ม Windows และ Apple ผมพบว่า Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x มีความโดดเด่นเรื่องสเปกและฟีเจอร์ครบเครื่องมาก เมื่อเทียบกับ MacBook Neo ที่เน้นความบางเบาและดีไซน์สุดพรีเมียม หน้าจอที่ใหญ่กว่าของ IdeaPad Slim 3x ทำให้การทำงานหลายแท็บพร้อมกันหรือดูคอนเทนต์สะดวกขึ้นมาก ขณะที่ RAM เริ่มต้น 16GB ช่วยตอบโจทย์ผู้ที่ทำงานหนักหรือเล่นโปรแกรมตัดต่อวิดีโอแบบไม่ติดขัด ในขณะที่ MacBook Neo ที่ RAM 8GB บางครั้งอาจต้องพึ่งพาการจัดการหน่วยความจำอย่างดีเพื่อให้ลื่นไหล เรื่องพอร์ตเชื่อมต่อ เห็นได้ชัดว่า Lenovo ให้พอร์ต USB-A, HDMI และ SD Card แบบครบครัน เหมาะกับคนที่ต้องต่ออุปกรณ์หลากหลายโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งตัวแปลง ในขณะที่ MacBook Neo ยังต้องใช้ USB-C และการแปลงพอร์ตทำให้ยุ่งยากสำหรับบางคน ผมเคยได้ลองใช้โน้ตบุ๊กที่มีเซ็นเซอร์สแกนลายนิ้วมือและคีย์บอร์ดไฟใต้ปุ่ม (Backlit) พบว่าช่วยให้การเข้าใช้งานรวดเร็วและสะดวก โดยเฉพาะตอนทำงานในที่แสงน้อย ส่วนแบตเตอรี่ของ IdeaPad Slim 3x ที่ใช้งานได้นานกว่า 16 ชั่วโมงก็ถือเป็นจุดเด่นที่เหมาะกับคนออกงานนอกสถานที่หรือเรียนออนไลน์แบบยาวๆ อย่างไรก็ตาม MacBook Neo ยังมีจุดแข็ง เช่น จอ Retina ที่ให้ภาพคมชัด สีสันสมจริง เหมาะกับคนทำงานกราฟิกหรือนักสร้างคอนเทนต์ที่ต้องการความละเอียดของภาพ ตัวเครื่องโลหะทำให้มีความแข็งแรงและดูหรูหรา รวมถึงระบบปฏิบัติการ macOS ที่นับเป็น Ecosystem ที่ราบรื่น สำหรับผู้ใช้ iPhone หรือ iPad อยู่แล้ว สุดท้ายแล้วการเลือกซื้อโน้ตบุ๊กระหว่าง Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x หรือ MacBook Neo ขึ้นอยู่กับการใช้งานส่วนบุคคลและงบประมาณ หากคุณเน้นสเปกคุ้มค่า ฟีเจอร์ครบ จอใหญ่ และพอร์ตใช้งานง่าย IdeaPad Slim 3x เป็นตัวเลือกที่น่าสนใจมาก แต่หากต้องการดีไซน์พรีเมียม การแสดงผลหน้าจอคุณภาพสูง และระบบนิเวศของ Apple MacBook Neo ก็ยังคงเป็นตัวเลือกที่ตอบโจทย์ผู้ใช้กลุ่มนั้นได้ดี
