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.

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.

MacBook Pro 16 vs. MacBook Pro 14: The important differences
MacBook Pro laptops.

MacBooks are typically seen as some of the best laptops money can buy, thanks to their combination of performance and longevity. It's not uncommon for MacBooks to be running flawlessly years after purchase -- so while their upfront costs are a bit steep, they're great long-term investments.

That holds true for the MacBook Pro lineup, which comes in two sizes -- 14 inches and 16 inches. Both are top-of-the-line computers designed to handle pretty much anything you can throw at them, offering access to the M3 chip, vibrant Liquid Retina XDR displays, and plenty of other high-end hardware.

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.

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.
