"A teardown of the new MacBook Neo by Australian YouTube repair channel Tech Re-Nu reveals what may be the most modular and repair-friendly Mac laptop in recent times. The Neo is shown being taken apart in just six minutes, suggesting Apple has prioritized simplicity across the board, using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8) and a clean cable routing design."

"...using standard Torx screws (T3, T5, and T8)..."

Most of my Macs have used pentalobe screws, which are definitely less standard than Torx.
