Apple’s latest MacBook Pro with M4 is down to its lowest price to date

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2025-11-24 02:00:00

The MacBook Pro 14 with M4 is one of our top laptop recommendations for students, and it’s currently $1,299 ($300 off), an all-time low price at Amazon and Best Buy. In our tests, Apple’s entry-level pro laptop was powerful enough to process high-resolution raw files in Adobe’s Lightroom Classic without slowing down. It also easily clears the system requirements to play last month’s port of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate to MacOS. The laptop has a 14.2-inch high resolution (3024 x 1964) 120Hz Mini-LE

Alienware 16 Area-51 Review: If Only the Display Was as Fantastic as the Mechanical Keyboard

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-25 03:00:49

The new Area-51 laptop feels like Alienware in a way that its most recent gaming PCs like its mammoth Area-51 desktop have not. The gaming laptop is extra: extra glowy, extra clicky, and all too over the top. The bottom panel sports a massive window where you can peer directly at the fan components. The only way you’d catch a glimpse of the rotating fans and the tint of RGB is if you lift up your laptop as if you were looking for a quarter that rolled under your dresser.

An affordable MacBook powered by the iPhone's A18 Pro chip could launch later this year for $600, according to a report from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes on Monday. The latest report corroborates a note by prominent industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from last month that said Apple was working on a new MacBook Air powered by that processor. A $600 price point would be a significant step for Apple's attempt to break into the affordable computing space. The report does give a range, however. While
