Entry Level Laptops - Changes post Neo Disruption

Discussion

A few months ago, the MacBook Neo hit the market with quite a splash, given that it offered an attractive, premium-feeling design for quite a low price, compared to its often cheaper-looking entry-level PC competitors. While prices have risen on it now, presumably due to Apple running out of binned A18 Pro chips, it absolutely had most other companies scrambling to make some kind of response, especially since the <$700 laptop segment is about 40% of the notebook market.

It does have tradeoffs that make it non-ideal for being a daily driver for businesses, but it is certainly a capable enough model for travel, which might threaten the niches of companies making ultralights (it certainly isn't as powerful as say, the Thinkpad X1 Carbon, but is that power necessarily needed? It depends on the application one is using it for - your standard business traveler might not need something so mighty, if they're mostly keeping in touch with the office).

So I suppose my question is: what other changes / consequences do we anticipate coming up in the next year or so either in the entry-level market segment or the upper-end as a result of the Neo shock? Do you foresee further disruptions across product offerings in the Industry?
