[ad_1] The good news is Best Buy has also discounted the 256GB variant. At the moment, you can buy the gold and silver models for $1,050, and the space gray one for $1,100. We’ve seen the 256GB MacBook Air sell for less in the past, but that was part of a short Amazon deal of […]

Apple dives deep into specs for the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR

[ad_1] Apple also makes some suggestions as to what to get. You’ll want more than the base 32GB of RAM to make full use of the six memory channels (why Apple didn’t start at 48GB is baffling), but you’ll want to avoid maxing out the memory if bandwidth is crucial — the higher latency of […]

Next version of Chrome brings web AR and NFC to more users

The company already offers onsite fixes for enterprise customers, and they’ll get better service in key areas. They get one-hour response times for key problems, for instance. There are also some repairs that will […]

Apple envisions a Mac made from a sheet of curved glass

[ad_1] One section of the patent imagines sliding a MacBook’s keyboard section through the slot, suggesting this design could also be used for a laptop dock instead of a full-fledged computer. This isn’t a product roadmap for Apple — we wouldn’t count on a curved-glass Mac like this arriving soon, if at all. There would […]
