Original Content [OC] from this article from The Studies Show on the MacBook Neo's performance and price comparisons to other Apple Laptops. Surprisingly, the MacBook Neo is faster in some measures than Apple's best computers released in 2023, demonstrating the shockingly fast pace of technological change. This is further underlined by the Neo's incredibly low price, which is in the chart above, and is extremely low in both real and nominal terms.

The more interesting thing to me is to reverse inflation adjust. So the MacBook Neo, if they had sold it for this relative price back in 1999, would have cost $302. for years every Mac I bought was $2500., Computer, but the price stayed at $2500. That really increased. But damn those computers were expensive back then.
Now I want to see scatter plot of price vs processor speed color-coded by release year.
Did the iBook have the old PowerPC chips? Those things were damn slow.
