MacBook Pro used as a benchmark for the design of a…cutting board

The MacBook Pro has no doubt inspired many to create all sorts of art, from videos, to illustrations, to much more. However, this is the first time we’ve seen Apple’s flagship laptop inspire an outfit to create something that’s meant for use in the kitchen.

That’s right, we said the kitchen.

Check out the Apple Wood Cutting Board, which, as you can see from the photo above, takes design cues straight from the MacBook Pro, right down to the gap between the display and the base when the laptop’s lid is closed. It even wears half of Apple’s logo on top. We assume that only half appears in order to avoid any legal tangles with Cupertino.

The cutting board is sold on Fancy.com, and made by a user named “hankejh.” The board is, as its name implies, made of apple wood, and is described as “the perfect addition to your modern kitchen.” Maybe so, if you’re an Apple devotee who spends a lot of time cooking and cutting stuff up.

One of the criticisms commonly lobbed at Apple centers around the price of its products, and though the Apple Wood Cutting Board isn’t made by the tech giant, it’s sure priced at a point which suggests it is. You’ll need to shell out $110 to get your hands on an Apple Wood Cutting Board.

We can’t help but wonder whether “hankejh” will put out more home-centric stuff that takes after Apple’s tech.

The best MacBook to buy in 2024

Now that Apple has started outfitting its laptops with its M3 generation of chips, it's time to take another look at which is the best MacBook to buy in 2024. That’s not always easy, though, as buying the newest MacBook isn’t always the right decision. Apple has several tiers of performance, as well as various sizes, which can further complicate the matter.

What’s more, you can also still get M1 and M2 MacBooks, some from Apple’s own website and some from third-party retailers. But are they still worth your money? Our guide should help you decide.

How to connect a MacBook to a TV

Apple’s MacBooks are excellent content-consumption machines, but even the roomiest 16-inch MacBook Pro can’t compare to viewing your favorite shows on a large TV. Whether you’re watching a movie or playing one of the best Mac games, it’s much better to enjoy it on a spacious TV than on a constrained MacBook display.

If you buy one MacBook Air alternative, make it this one

I see you. You're considering a flashy new MacBook Air -- perhaps one of the new M3 models or even the cheaper M2 configurations. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like that isn't a wise option to consider for your next laptop. These are excellent laptops, and that M2 model in particular is a solid value at a starting price of $999.

But let me make an appeal to you about a laptop that upends the value proposition of the MacBook Air in a number of ways. The laptop I'm talking about is the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Q425MA). This is a laptop we reviewed earlier this year, but it continues to be the king of value. No other laptop you can buy right now offers this much bang for your buck -- the MacBook Air included.
