MACBOOK PRO 16-INCH

THIS IS THE latest addition to the Apple

MacBook line-up and is the most powerful one the Cupertino-based manufacturer has ever built. The impressive 16-inch retina display with truetone technology outclasses the competition and stays true to Apple’s beautiful-design philosophy. The engine room is powered by an Intel Core i9 processor with six or eight cores (depending on your choice), while 16 threads of processing power give you higher performance. The stunning graphics are supported by the AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series with up to 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. This truly is a laptop designed with the pro user in mind, with optimal performance placed above all else. The new Mac has up to 64 GB of memory and can be configured with up to a whopping 8 TB of storage. The distinctive Touch ID and Touch Bar are included and you’ll get all-day battery life too, up to 11 hours to be precise. Keeping true to its pioneering music roots, Apple has packed the 16-inch Pro with a six-speaker system and force-cancelling woofer so you can enjoy your tunes through the best MacBook Pro sound system imaginable.

RRP from R2 049 p/m for 24 months. Available from FNB Connect.

MSI ALPHA 15

MSI isn’t known as the best gaming-laptop brand in the world for nothing, and the latest Alpha 15 breaks the limits of what’s possible in the gaming world. Armed with the new AMD Radeon RX 5500M graphics, the Alpha 15 is the first gaming laptop to feature 7 nm technology, bringing cutting-edge hardware to a mainstream gaming laptop. MSI has clearly put in a lot of thought, not only to the hardware but also the philosophy behind its latest offering. The thunderbird with rising wings logo is meant to represent strength, innovation and prosperity, encapsulating what the Alpha 15 is all about. Through the combination of its graphics and Ryzen 7 processor, Alpha 15 is able to make triple-digit frame rates a reality. The secret to the lightning performance is Cooler Boost 5, the seven heat-pipe cooling module that has been redesigned to integrate seamlessly with the new hardware. The 15.6-inch display will add to the smooth, tear- and stutter-free gaming experience. RRP R1 399 pm for 24 months.
