The MacBook Neo’s Carefully Considered Compromises

I’ve had my Neo for about a month. I must say I’m very happy with it. The trackpad is actually usable for someone with manual dexterity challenges, although I still use an Apple mouse and external keyboard.

I got an Anker USB-C hub to connect an external monitor via HDMI, a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500, 90W charger, and ethernet. I was concerned about the hub overheating with the video, but it’s been fine. All of this is plugged into the computer’s rear USB-C port.

Setting up the antique scanner was…a snap; what’s taking much longer is finding a clipboard manager to replace the abandoned AgileRoute Clipboard History, which won’t work in Tahoe.
