APPLE MACBOOK PRO 14IN

From $2,584 apple.com

Apple’s Mac range now features its own processors. The latest models come with the Apple M1 chip in two flavours: M1 Pro (amazingly fast) and M1 Max (even faster). Here, Apple has increased the screen size from 13 inches to 14 inches by reducing the size of the bezels around the display. As a result, the front-facing camera peeps out of a cut-out in the screen (similar to the iPhone). Because the menu bar surrounds it, it’s not that noticeable. The display also has thousands of mini LED backlights which make for an attractive, high-contrast screen. It’s also very high-resolution: this 14-inch screen has more pixels than the previous 16-inch generation. This is a performance machine, which never slows down, however demanding your work is. There’s one more benefit from the new Apple Macbook: battery life is significantly enhanced. Apple says it runs for up to 11 hours of web browsing, or 17 hours video playback (which looks pretty good on this punchy display).
