Every time Apple releases a new product, the internet runs the same play: benchmark it against the most expensive thing in the lineup, declare it insufficient, and move on. The MacBook Neo is getting that treatment right now. The internet is wrong.
It only has 8 GB of memory. The display is sRGB, not P3. There is no keyboard backlighting. The trackpad physically clicks instead of using Force Touch. It runs on an iPhone chip. You cannot even get Touch ID unless you pay $100 more for the 512 GB model.

By: Mathieu Stern
Originally published on Mar 1, 2017
Today we will create some Lensbaby tilt shift lenses that cost 30$ and that are actually way better than the original which is ” just” 400$.
Using two soviet vintage Helios lenses and some rubber adapter, you can create some incredibly cool tilt effects for your portraits or landscapes.
Before every one starts to freak out, here are some interesting links for you :
here you can buy the Helios adapter for 10 $, it’s the one i use in the video :
