I'd be glad to try one (either blue or piss colored). If it really comes at 600€. Though it would already be 100€ too much unless it gets liberated to run linux at some point.

My fear is that it's going to be made useless in no time with software updates, or that it has some important limitation (like i can't use XCode command line tools)... But i wanted to replace my old mid 2012 for a couple of years and i decided the next laptop would be either ARM or RiscV (browsing, writing text, scripting, light programming)

The M2 air supports asahi Linux and used ones can be had for 600ish

The Neo runs on the same chip as iPad so fat chance unlocking the bootloader

    Well that will be an interesting question. Apple deliberately helped Asahi (and similar) along on the Apple Silicon Macs, perhaps this is running a MacBook bootloader as well.

For NL €699 and €799 (512Gb) at apple store. Will likely only be closer to 600 at big stores that do discounts.
