a YouTube thumbnail featuring a MacBook Neo in Citrus being held above a wooden table. The Windows 11 logo is layered on top of the Apple logo on the laptop, but its color has been changed to match the laptop. There is text above that reads "MacBook Neo", with "Mac" crossed out and replaced with "Win"

New video! Everyone's got something to say about the MacBook Neo. And I had to see what all the fuss was about. So I bought one. Then I decided to put Windows on it for some reason! This should be fun...

New video! Back in late 2010, Dell released their answer to the iPad: a 2-in-1 laptop running Windows 7 with a flippable screen. While it seemed like a cool machine at first, a closer look reveals that it's pretty much just a netbook with some tablet features thrown in.
