First, the new Mac Pro’s ship date was set for December. Then, it was pushed back to an unspecified date in February. Now, it looks like much of the world won’t be getting their shiny, cylindrical Apple desktop until sometime in March.

The new March ship date reportedly applies to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, according to MacRumors. For now, it looks as if US-based customers won’t have to wait any extra to receive their Mac Pros, with Apple’s US page still indicating a “February” ship date for the high-end desktop.

 We can’t help but be reminded of the delay suffered by Apple and its iMac all-in-one desktop back in 2012. Apple CEO Tim Cook later expressed regret with respect to the decisions that led to the holdup with the 2012 iMac. Here’s what he said about the incident during a January 2013 conference call: “If we could run it over frankly, I would have announced the iMac after the turn of the year, because we felt our customers had to wait too long for that specific product.”

This new Mac Pro shipping delay will no doubt annoy consumers who were eagerly awaiting the mysterious-looking desktop’s initial late-December arrival. An exact date for March Mac Pro shipments has not been revealed.

Apple’s MacBook laptops come in a range of colors, and selecting which is right for you can be a tricky business. Sure, it’s perhaps not as important as deciding which chip to pick or how much memory you should buy, but it’s still a vital part of the equation. After all, you’re going to see that color every time you reach for your MacBook. You don’t want it to be something that fills you with regret.

But how should you pick a MacBook color? And what do the colors even look like in the first place? We’ve got the answers to those questions in this guide. We’d also advise you to go to an Apple Store to take a look at the MacBook colors in person, as some can be hard to appreciate just by browsing Apple’s website.

The MacBook Air has officially caught up. Now with the M3 on board, the MacBook Air has gained the benefits of the new chip, which was previously available just on the MacBook Pro and iMac.

Choosing between the M3 15-inch MacBook Air and the 14-inch MacBook Pro is tough, and requires an in-depth look at differences in ports, displays, speakers, and more. It's a legitimately hard decision to make.

Picking out a new MacBook isn't as easy as it used to be.

The hardest choice in the lineup might be between the 15-inch MacBook Air and the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Both are now offered with the same M3 chip, despite there being a $300 difference in the base models. But when similarly configured, there's actually only a $100 difference between these two laptops.
