For a Macbook 12"I would just slap Catalina and use it with Firefox. Not iCloud account and that's all.

You will get a really good performance and it would allow you to use the web without problem. You can check the email on Firefox, use whatsapp/telegram web, etc. Maybe use iCloud in the web if you need to transfer any file.

The machine can't handle more than that. I loved mine but yeah, the performance was terrible.

It is very sad that the Neo is like a Mini Air M2. I'd love to have a Neo with the same size as the 12" Macbook

Before I upgraded to the Neo, i found using safari was so slow it was unusable. I then downloaded Chrome and ironically made it go faster, but for as beautiful the machine is; it's not a performer (i have the higher end config too - 512 GB/16GB/i5) . I sometimes do miss it though because it really is an aesthetic machine
