[ad_1] This year, Apple made some moves to simplify its laptop lineup, including an upgrade to the MacBook Pro which included an eighth-gen Intel quad-core processor, better speakers and a True Tone display. At $1,299 (to start), the newest model of Pro is now only $200 more than the Air. Deputy Managing Editor Nathan Ingraham […]

Apple loses bid to stop class action lawsuit over MacBook keyboards
[ad_1] The lawsuit covers many Apple laptops with butterfly keyboards, starting with the original 12-inch MacBook from 2015 and including MacBook Pro models produced in 2016 or later. We’ve asked Apple for comment. It might face an uphill battle in court, however. While the company has never said the butterfly keyboard design was inherently flawed, […]
iPad Pro and MacBook Pro could switch to mini LED displays in late 2020
[ad_1] In theory, mini LED offers many of the benefits of OLED screens without the usual drawbacks. The extremely dense array of LEDs promises high contrast ratios, a wide color range and a thin panel, but remains power-efficient and won’t risk burning in like OLED can. Mini LED makes sense for pro devices where accuracy […]

It might have an easier time pinpointing systemic flaws.. However, it’s […]
Apple’s Phil Schiller says Chromebooks won’t help kids succeed (updated)
[ad_1] We’ve asked Apple and Google for comment. There are already plenty of people who disagree with Schiller’s assessment, mind you. As we found out through the teachers themselves, Apple’s ideal and the practical reality can be two very different things. While some educators do see value in iPads, tight school budgets frequently make them […]
Apple may reveal its 16-inch MacBook Pro tomorrow
[ad_1] There’s no mention of a corresponding update to the 13-inch model, although that’s not surprising. Apple only just updated the smaller laptop in July — it’s a bit soon for a refresh, let alone a major one. And while Intel does have 10th-generation laptop chips, they’re U- and Y-series chips meant largely for ultraportables […]
Apple’s latest MacBook Air is on sale for $900
[ad_1] The two models feature similar specs, aside from the more expensive model having 256GB of storage space (that’s double the baseline Air). Both feature a 1.6GHz dual-core eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, which may not be very fast, but is a reasonable trade-off when it comes to battery life. The Intel UHD Graphics 617 […]
