Neo On The Road!

[ElPaso]

A powerful MacBook small enough and durable enough to throw into my backpack and take on the road! Whip it out at rest stops and roadside eateries, hotspot it through my Eye Phone, catch up on the business of life. I think they built the Neo for travelers like myself - From El Paso to Okie City to West Des Moines - Next stop Springfield, MO, then on to Amarillo! (by mornin' . . . ).

The Neo has been outstanding on our current road trip. Its size and capabilities, along with its awesome battery life, compares so favorably to my bigger, clunkier, slower, more expensive PC. Hammer Down!

The perfect travel companion to throw into your EDC.

Currently wiriting this on my week old Neo as I ride to Indianpolis from 400 miles away. Hotspot's working great and it's more than bright screened and light enough. The only thing is I just noticed that Vehicle Motion Cues are not supported. Not a huge deal but a curious omission.

Going to Las Vegas this week and going to use the Neo with my in-vehicle hotspot.

I might be wrong, but it makes sense that Vehicle Motion Cues would not be supported on a MacBook because it is not usually used in a moving car? I don't know anything about it though

Vacation is over - we're back home - the Neo ranks as an A+ device. What a joy to use in hotel rooms. I loved taking it to hotel "free breakfasts" and cracking it open right there while sipping coffee -- the jealous looks from other Holiday Inn Express breakfast diners lol . . . .

Keep us updated with your experiences with it - both positive and negative

It’s supported on all other macbooks M2+ per Apple’s documentation. Not a huge deal for me, but it is curious as to why. I used it a few times on my M4 Macbook Air.

And how are you doing this? Mobile internet? I ask because never heard this before.

Does that feature work on any MacBook? I thought it only worked on iPhones because it uses data from gyroscopes, which I thought laptops don’t have. Or am I wrong about this?

It appears so. Just certain ones only.

Thanks for catching me up on the information 🙂
