Can’t get enough of that new Macbook smell? Now you can get it in a candle

Now that fall is upon us, it’s time to break out the candles and bathe our homes in soothing scents like pumpkin pie, apple spice, and now — a different kind of Apple, that of the Mac variety. That’s right — it’s no longer the new car smell that consumers of the 21st century are pining after — we’d rather take a long whiff of a newly opened laptop.

Apple accessory maker TwelveSouth has not only captured that smell, but has found a way to allow Apple enthusiasts to enjoy it year-round. It’s all thanks to the New Mac Soy Candle, a 100-percent soy wax candle that boasts “hints of mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin, and sage” and other ingredients that apparently render it akin to a new product from the iEmpire.

Whether you’re a techie or a candle connoisseur, this New Mac Soy Candle will tickle your senses. It’s hand-poured in Charleston, South Carolina, and boasts a burn time of 45 to 55 hours. So really, it’ll last for just as long as the new electronic smell of your iPhone or iPad.

You can buy the candle now from TwelveSouth’s website for the price of $24, and enjoy free shipping throughout the U.S. And hey, if you can’t afford to get the new Mac smell from an actual new Mac (which will set you back $1,299), this may be the way to budget shop (though alas, you can’t expect your candle to send emails or Skype your friends).

But if a candle isn’t on your wishlist this holiday season, there are a number of other items that you might peruse on the TwelveSouth website. How does an iDrink Can Cooler Set, sound, or better yet, the O to Refresh water bottle? Believe us, no matter what your interest (as long as it’s Apple related), you’ll probably be able to find it. Our only question — Will Android candles be next?

Why you shouldn’t buy a new Apple Watch right now

It has been over six months since the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 launched, and they are still considered two of the best smartwatches on the market. However, there are two significant reasons why you might not want to purchase either of these models.

Those reasons are the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra. That's right — buying a 2022 Apple Watch over the newer models might be a better choice for you.

The MacBook Air 15 vs. MacBook Pro 14: the easy way to decide
Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air placed on a desk with its lid closed.

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.

I needed to buy a new MacBook. Here’s why I bought a power bank instead
Baseus Blade 2 65W power bank for laptops kept on a green couch.

I rely on a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2020 for most of my work. Despite its age and being a base variant model, it continues to stack up well against my expectations for all these years.

Since MacBooks are known for longevity, the fact that my MacBook Pro still holds up well a few years later shouldn't sound surprising. However, the first signs of aging recently arrived in the form of a warning about the battery's plummeting health. I was already dreading the idea of having to replace what was otherwise a perfectly good laptop.
