School is about to start back up for a lot of people, and with how integral technology is to the classroom, having a good computer is always important. If you’re looking to pick up a new Apple device for school or college, I’ll be going over the best picks right here. Obviously, when it comes to Apple gear for school, you have to go over the most important Apple debate: iPad or Mac. I won’t be giving advice in that regard, though I will say that iPadOS 26 makes using an iPad as your all-in-one

Apple might release a cheaper MacBook soon, but you shouldn’t wait for it

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-31 21:58:54

Last month, we heard some news from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo about Apple entering a new segment of the laptop market. The company is reportedly working on a new MacBook at a lower starting price point than the MacBook Air, and it’ll apparently pack the A18 Pro chip found in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While a cheaper MacBook is certainly a welcome add, the question truly stands: will Apple do it properly, or will it serve as another decoy model? Rumor refresh To quickly recap, the cheape

Does iPadOS 26 make the iPad a computer? [Video]

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-10-31 22:00:00

The moment Apple announced iPadOS 26, it felt like us iPad users have finally been heard. For years the iPad has always been “almost there”. It had the powerful hardware, but the software made the experience too limited for most people. But now with iPadOS 26, that gap is almost gone. The new windowing system, improved multitasking, and better file management make the iPad feel more like a computer than it ever has before. So the next natural question is, can an iPad be your one and only comput

These are the best new MacBook deals this month: options as low as $599

In the Apple Silicon era, MacBooks have become more affordable than ever – with brand new models starting as low as $599. With looming global tariffs, these great deals could potentially be coming to an end soon – so if you’re in the market for a new MacBook for any reason, now may be one of the best ever times to purchase. Apple’s upcoming macOS 26 update is also dropping support for practically all Intel Macs (with some small exceptions) – so if you’d like to stay on the latest and greatest A

If I were starting again with Apple kit, I’d own less of it

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-02 09:00:00

My colleague Michael Burkhardt posed an interesting question earlier in the week: if you had to start again with your Apple kit, what would you buy? There’s already one Apple product category I no longer use, and a second one I use only on a technicality … I no longer wear an Apple Watch Despite not initially seeing the appeal, I did end up wearing one for nine years. A couple of random events ended up changing that, and I now instead rely on a smart ring. I’m totally sold on a much smaller

The laptop you bring to college is important. Not only is it the device you'll be using through some of the most formative years of your life, but it's also often the one that you'll take to your first job, too.

Apple likely won’t release an M5 MacBook Pro until next year, but should you wait for it?

Apple has typically updated the MacBook Pro on a nearly annual basis, generally around October.

Well, the times certainly have changed. And, in this economy, the prices on refurbished tech are looking more and more tempting.
