The 16-inch MacBook Pro is powered by the ninth-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 16GB of RAM, with a 16-inch Retina display that’s perfect for work functions such as multitasking between apps, as well as entertainment options such as watching shows on streaming services.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro is recommended for power users due to its impressive performance, with the all-new cooling system allowing the machine’s components to work to the best of their abilities. If you are running intensive applications all the time, this laptop is a solid choice, and it also doubles as a great outlet for recreational activities such as movie marathons with its huge screen and powerful speakers.

Digital Trends tagged the 16-inch MacBook Pro as one of the top choices in the best MacBooks for 2020, as a laptop that’s geared towards more professional users that can maximize its power.

It’s rare to see discounts for Apple products, which makes Amazon’s deal for the 16-inch MacBook Pro a very tempting offer.

Why you should buy the MacBook Air M1
The MacBook Air M1 isn’t considered one of the best laptops any more but just because its processor is a few years old doesn’t mean you should ignore it. MacBooks are typically built to last with support for macOS continuing for a number of years. With the MacBook Air M1, you get the M1 chip with an 8-core CPU which is sure to outperform Intel chips of the same era. The leap between Intel-based MacBooks to Apple silicon was pretty huge which is why the M1 chip remains highly potent.

Why you should buy the Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro reviews may not be perfect but it’s clearly a revolutionary product. Our Apple Vision Pro hands-on experience was pretty great. It has typical Apple ease of use as all you need to do is pull it over your head, turn a dial to tighten its knit headband, and then look at some dots to set up eye-tracking. It takes mere minutes and then you’re all set. Simple to use and surprisingly accurate for such a minimal setup, it’s great to use.
