Christmas is almost upon us and time is running out to get all your gifts shipped out on time. If you’ve left your holiday shopping to the last minute, don’t worry. There are still plenty of great electronics you can get delivered before the 25th. In fact, the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch is currently on sale for just $1,750 right now — down $249 from its original price of $1,999. This is a great MacBook deal and Amazon is guaranteeing delivery by Christmas so you really can’t lose. Just make sure to snap it up today, especially if you want it in time for your family’s gift exchange come Christmas morning.

The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch has a bright, balanced screen with True Tone technology so your display will look sharp and clear at all times of the day. It’s consistently described as a powerhouse, both for its Intel quad-core i5 processor and its 1TB of storage. Run the highest productivity apps and store all the edits and drafts you want, the Pro can keep up with it all. It’s also only about three pounds, which makes it the perfect laptop for those long commutes or those long-haul travels — your workspace is wherever you are.

Though the sleek design and powerful processor are great, the best feature of the Apple MacBook Pro has to be the Magic Keyboard. Not only does it offer you a quiet typing experience, but it also features a full Touch Bar with a myriad of different features. Easily access all your favorite shortcuts or quickly unlock your laptop with Touch ID on the Touch Bar — you’ll never miss physical keys again. The keyboard is also highly responsive, allowing for a more streamlined typing experience — navigating those never-ending spreadsheets will never be easier. You’ll even love the stereo speakers on this MacBook. It surpasses most other laptops and re-creates the lowest bass beats with striking clarity.

With a clear Retina display, an intuitive keyboard, and a sleek design, the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch is a great holiday gift for anyone in your family. You’ve got to act quickly, though. At its discounted price of just $1,750 and with Christmas closing in, time is running out to snag this must-have device. Buy it today before you miss your chance.

What’s the Right Laptop for a Student on a $1,000 Budget?

The best college laptop isn't the one with the longest spec sheet. It's the one that fits your budget and the way you'll actually use it.

Dell XPS 14 Review: Sticker

Buying a laptop for college isn't a decision made in isolation. Tuition, textbooks, housing, meal plans, transportation, and course materials all compete for the same budget, leaving most families with one question before the semester begins: how much is enough to spend on a laptop without paying for features that may never get used?

Siri is about to hear everything you say, but Apple’s privacy approach has me cautiously on board

Apple's new Audio Intelligence features want to hear almost everything you say. A privacy document released alongside them explains why I am mostly okay with that.

Apple Watch Audio Intelligence features

Apple used its September 2026 launch event to enter a feature category it has mostly avoided until now: ambient listening. Siri Recap, Live Rewind, Music Recognition with Shazam, and Sound Recognition all landed on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. All four depend on the watch microphone picking up sound around you far more often than any previous Apple product has.

Siri Recap listens for conversations throughout your day and turns them into short AI summaries you can check later. Live Rewind is smaller in scope but arguably more useful day-to-day. It transcribes the last 15 seconds of whatever was just said with a double-press of the crown. This is perfect for catching a name, a book title, or directions you missed the first time. Music Recognition uses Shazam to identify songs playing nearby without you lifting a finger, much like Now Playing on Google's Pixel devices. Sound Recognition is a useful accessibility feature that listens for sirens, doorbells, and alarms to alert users who have a hearing impairment.

Can You Turn a Mini PC Into a Local AI Agent?

Not every AI task needs the scale of the cloud. An employee searching company documents, a retail kiosk answering product questions, or a digital sign reacting to customer behavior all need fast responses, but they don't necessarily need to send every prompt to a remote data center. Running those workloads locally reduces latency, keeps sensitive information closer to where it's generated, and can lower the ongoing cost of AI deployments. As a result, many organizations are moving toward hybrid AI architectures that handle routine requests on-device while reserving cloud models for tasks that genuinely need more processing power.
