Not really, because Surface isn't what most folks buying PCs get.

And those prices don't compute in many European countries, Africa, and most likely other regions as well.

Surface Laptop is 1099€ vs 699€ for the Macbook Neo in Germany.

Macbook Neo is also 219ppi vs Surface Laptop at 178ppi. We’ll see about performance, but i’d expect the macbook to be on par or better.

  • Except most Germans don't buy Surface Laptops, and there are much cheaper options with 8 GB, naturally they lack a glowing apple to show off at Starbucks.

    It is also actually 800 euro if you want a proper SSD storage in 2026.

    And as mentioed, get out of German economy, into the southern and eastern countries, or over the Mediterrean to see who gets a Neo outside the well in life families, or maybe bundled with a cable TV contract bound to five years.
