Book
Getting Started with the MacBook Neo

$12.00 USD
Your MacBook Neo book is now ready for macOS 27.
Apple finally made a Mac under $600, and I was so excited I went out and bought one the week it came out. And I gotta tell you, buying the Neo is the easy part. Setting it up the way you actually want it, that's where it gets real. That's the whole reason I wrote this book.
It's like I'm sitting right there at the desk with you, getting your Mac set up together, step by step. This one's for everybody: people getting their first Neo, Windows users making the switch, and Mac users who want a clearer way through the everyday stuff.
Here's what you get:
• All 11 chapters, plus the Windows switching guides and VoiceOver command reference.
• Four new chapters on macOS 27: an overview of what's new, Siri, accessibility, and Shortcuts.
• Updated earlier chapters on setup, apps, Finder, Spotlight, Calendar, and writing.
• An expanded AppleCare One Family section, including what the plan covers and what to compare before signing up.
• VoiceOver and braille coverage alongside the everyday Mac instructions.
• Three formats in one purchase: EPUB, PDF, and BRF for braille readers. The BRF file is provided in a ZIP download.
The new chapters explain Apple's documented features, practical things to try, and the hardware and availability details that matter on a Neo.
