Watch below as Stalman realizes halfway through the video that the MacBook Neo can handle more demanding photo and video production workflows than he initially thought.<\/p>\n

\u2019Editing 4K video on this computer is totally fine even with every other app running\u2019<\/p>\n

As today\u2019s embargo lifted, most reviews of the MacBook Neo seemed to agree on one general point: despite all the talk about its non-upgradable 8GB of RAM and \u201ciPhone chip,\u201d the laptop holds up surprisingly well.<\/p>\n

Few reviews captured the moment expectations flipped quite as clearly as Tyler Stalman\u2019s video, MacBook Neo: Can It Handle Pro Apps?<\/a><\/p>\n

In it, Stalman opens every single app in the Applications folder, then zips through his Photo library, as he notices that performance remains \u201cpretty darn quick,\u201d adding that he\u2019ll just skip ahead to a more heavy-duty task, since he \u201cdidn\u2019t think this was going to work as well\u201d as it did.<\/p>\n

Once he jumps into Final Cut Pro (while every other app installed in the MacBook Neo is still running), he\u2019s equally surprised to see it smoothly playback a 4K video, complete with histograms, vector scope, and so on.<\/p>\n

As the video progresses, Stalman throws increasingly demanding tasks and workflows, and it takes him a while to finally get the MacBook Neo to struggle.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out the full video, where Stalman runs through photo and video processing workflows and realizes the MacBook Neo holds its own far better than many expected<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
