We all need a steadfast and reliable computer to get us through work, school, and our creative pursuits. And when it comes to top-shelf laptops, it doesn’t get much better than Apple’s MacBook lineup. We’ve been writing about these portable powerhouses for years, but we still get super-excited whenever we come across any MacBook Air sale, including this one:
Today, when you purchase the 13-inch MacBook Air with Apple M3 (16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage), you’ll only pay $1,000. The full MSRP on this model is $1,100. We tested this model last December and reviewer Luke Larsen said, “The MacBook Air M3 remains an absolute go-to laptop, especially at its new starting configuration.
It’s hard to deny the rockstar performance and smooth-as-butter UI of an Apple machine, and the MacBook Air with Apple M3 continues the legacy. The Air M3 has a sleek and modern design, intuitive controls, and a decent selection of ports. Apple’s M3 processor is also an absolute beast when it comes to running multiple programs at the same time. You’ll be able to rely on your Air M3 for everything from demanding video editing software to buffer-free playback of HD content.
Speaking of HD content, you’re going to love the brightness, colors, and contrast the Air M3 is capable of. Thanks to 2560 x 1664 resolution, the M3 has plenty of pixels to work with, too.
Lightweight and portable, the Air M3 is easy to take just about anywhere and Apple claims you’ll get up to 18 hours of battery life on a full charge. Other noteworthy features include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support.
We’re not sure how long this sale is going to stick around, so if you’ve been in the market for a new Apple laptop, there’s no better time than now! Take $100 off the 13-inch MacBook Air with Apple M3 (16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage) when you order today. We also suggest taking a look at our roundups of the best MacBook deals, the best laptop deals, and the best Apple deals.
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.
