AMD Mocks Apple MacBook Neo's Gaming Shortcomings

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

AMD has launched a marketing campaign highlighting the gaming limitations of Apple's MacBook Neo. The campaign points out that only 5 out of the top 20 PC games are natively compatible with the MacBook Neo, while AMD-equipped laptops can run all of them. AMD used an HP OmniBook X Flip with a Ryzen 5 220 processor for comparison, noting its superior storage, touchscreen, and port selection compared to the MacBook Neo.

    AMD is reminding folks not to buy a MacBook, even if it's as good of a deal as the Neo, if you primarily want to game on it. Instead, AMD's own budget laptops can run all the modern titles you want, with a small caveat.
