Apple's most affordable MacBook ever appears to be a resounding hit with customers, based on comments shared by CEO Tim Cook this week. On an earnings call on Thursday, Cook said that customer response to the MacBook Neo has been "off the charts" since the laptop was unveiled in March. "We could not be happier with how things are going at the moment," he said.
To be pedantic, macs are usually supported for 7 OS releases, which are annual. Every OS version is then supported for about 3 years. So a new Mac released this year will receive its last update in about 10 years.
Not great, not terrible. Also, idk about the apple silicon macs, but with the Intel macs there was usually a way to update it unofficially past the 7 year last supported version, stretching it for a few more.

Yes, there were a bunch of unpaid volunteers who made OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and extended the life of devices 10+ years further, which just makes it all the more offensive that Apple either couldn’t be bothered or (more likely) just wanted them to be unsupported so you’d have to go buy a new one.
