Apple's cost-effective MacBook Neo, released in March 2026, caught many Windows laptop manufacturers off guard. This device is well-suited for most everyday computing tasks and home use. However, the MacBook Neo's 8GB of RAM might pose challenges for sustained usage over time. The system frequently runs out of memory, forcing it to rely on swap files stored on the SSD to keep operations running smoothly. Recent SSD endurance tests have revealed that the frequent reading and writing of these swap files could substantially shorten the lifespan of the MacBook Neo's SSD.
