Don't let iPad Pro, MacBook Air, Mac Mini starter prices fool you

11/3/2018, 5:23:42 PM
Storage on Apple's new devices for 2018 is more expensive than you might think. ✔ If you're eyeing a new iPad Pro, MacBook Air or Mac Mini for 2018, it's time to smash open your piggy bank ✔ The same goes for any additional accessories you pick up along the way, like the Apple Pencil and Smart Folio Keyboard, and necessary adapter dongles, like a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone port



Does the new MacBook Air completely overshadow the 12-inch MacBook?

11/4/2018, 12:06:18 AM

However, do its multiple color options, tiny frame, and high-end design make it worth the price? We take it up against its competitors to see where it stands. ✔ The only vaguely similar system that can be said to beat it the Samsung Galaxy Book 12, which has an OLED display ✔ This thing is well-built, and should survive long enough to see itself become obsolete ✔ We think you’ll find MacBook’s slightly slimmer size isn’t worth sacrificing performance
