As good as these new MacBooks are, they do have a few deficiencies. The webcams, while improved, still aren’t great, they have few ports, and both the Air and Pro designs could be spruced up. Best MacBook of 2021Which MacBook should you buyMacBook Pro (M1, 2020) review Another area we also hope to see improvement in is display quality.

For a wildly expensive $999, you get the smoothest display, the most comfortable design, and an excellent pair of controllers paired with solid audio quality. However, those benefits mean little if Valve can’t get the basics right. The Index is stuck with base station tracking which is worse than the built-in tracking on the Oculus Rift S.

On an impulse, I nearly bought the Surface Pro anyway but the color I wanted turned out to be out of stock. Online options weren’t much better. Ultimately, I ended up with a newer version of the same silver Dell Inspiron I’ve been toting around for the last decade. I understand that laptops are sold to a very wide range of consumers, but the neutral color palette leaves a lot left to be desired....

According to The Seattle Times, California travel agent Teri Goldstein recently sued Microsoft for causing her PC to upgrade to Windows 10 without her explicit permission, and won $10,000. Rather than appeal and spend more on attorney fees, the company chose to set a dangerous precedent, giving Goldstein her money without further legal challenge.

Inside this sleek slate is a beastly A12 Bionic chip that gives you laptop-level speeds.

Last year the big news was the transition to Apple Silicon and that would be difficult for Apple to top, but there will still be plenty of new software and perhaps hardware announcements at WWDC 2021. The latter would almost certainly be announced during the keynote today, but the former should continue all week with details on iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS 12 and watchOS 8 during the developer sessions....
