Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry (www.pcmag.com)

The Apple MacBook Neo's $599 starting price is a "shock" to the Windows PC industry, according to an Asus executive.

Hsu said he believes all the PC players—including Microsoft, Intel, and AMD—take the MacBook Neo threat seriously. "In fact, in the entire PC ecosystem, there have been a lot of discussions about how to compete with this product," he added, given that rumors about the MacBook Neo have been making the rounds for at least a year.

Despite the competitive threat, Hsu argued that the MacBook Neo could have limited appeal. He pointed to the laptop's 8GB of "unified memory," or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can't upgrade it.

Windows is DOGSHIT, I bet a lot of people will dump that pile of shit and move to Mac OS.

Why would you move to Mac os?

Windows still runs software from the 90s.

Mac's... Lol... Good luck with that.

I can't see teenagers and 20-somethings going, "What I really want is a laptop that runs software from the 90s."

You can run Windows on the Mac with some amazingly integrated emulation software and all that 90s software is there.

Parallels and VM aren't really the same....
