hello, Apple? are you listening?

Mar 23, 2026

I talked about my new laptop, the Apple MacBook Neo, just a few days ago. Now that I’ve had some time to play around with it I’ve learned a few things.

The main thing is that the BATTERY LASTS FOREVER.

I’ve had Mac laptops in the past and the battery life was on par with the Windows laptops I also own. This little piece of awesomeness doesn’t have a backlit keyboard, and I’m sure that saves on battery life… but get this:

I charged it to 100%, spent just over an hour on X/Twitter reading and watching video clips, and the battery was… drum roll please… 98%!!

Same chip as an iPhone!

I learned that this laptop is powered by the same chip that’s in the iPhone 17 Pro. I have zero complaints about the laptop speed or ability… and certainly am thrilled with the battery life. But that leaves one BIG QUESTION:

Why do I have to charge my Apple watch so often??

If Apple can make a laptop run that long… why on earth can they not also improve the battery life of their flagship watch?


Now you know: The author of the original “The Outsiders” novel began writing the book when she was just 15, and was published when she was 18. She released it using her initials and not her full name so the book wouldn’t be dismissed offhand by male book reviewers.
