Even with Cyber Week behind us, and Christmas a few weeks off, when it comes to discounts, there are plenty of which to take advantage. There are tons of savings — on laptops, smart home products, everything really — that give you the chance to make someone’s holidays truly special. If you’re looking for an Apple laptop, check out these MacBook deals. Right now, at QVC you can get a 13-inch MacBook air for only $1,100. That’s an incredible $219 off its regular price of $1,319. That’s more than a 15% savings.
It is rare — like four-leaf-clover rare — to find discounts on Apple products, so you might want to pay attention to what’s going on at QVC right now. MacBooks are some our favorite laptops, and the MacBook Air remains one of the most affordable, and versatile. With Apple’s incredible support, this is the kind of work computer that you can bank on having for years to come.
What our reviewers love about the Apple Macbook Air is its premium, reliable hardware that makes working from home, or playing at home, or watching at home, a total pleasure. This MacBook Air has been loaded with a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core processor, with Turbo Boost. This is backed up by 8GB RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive. Those are some good internals.
But of course, one of the main reasons we look to a MacBook is its looks. The laptop has all of Apple’s design luster — beautifully encased in a lightweight aluminum design — but the 13.3-inch screen also boasts 1440 x 900 resolution. And for graphics it relies on an Intel HD Graphics 6000 card, which is superb. On top of this, there’s the best-in-class keyboard and trackpad, and a battery that’s rated to last many hours on a single charge.
One of the best things about having an Apple laptop is its versatility. The MacBook Air was designed to be plugged into other devices for your convenience and the ultimate functionality. There’s an SDXC memory card slot, two USB 3.0 ports, and a Thunderbolt 2 port. While the Bluetooth is tops, there’s also a headphone jack, just in case. They thought of everything with the MacBook Air and it’s tough to beat.
There are other MacBook deals for you to browse, but keep in mind, Apple discounts don’t come everyday. Right now, at QVC, you can take advantage of a rare offer and score $219 off an Apple MacBook Air. It’s only $1,200, down from its regular price of $1,450. Run, don’t walk, to take advantage of this deal.
The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
