Apple’s newest MacBook Air — the one with a stellar Magic Keyboard — just dropped to its lowest price yet, thanks to a $100 discount from Amazon. It’s good for a limited time only, so go enjoy it while you can.
Apple has lined up new iMac and AirPods refreshes for 2020 that are “ready to ship,” according to a reliable leaker. Both products could appear “at any time,” but it doesn’t seem like Apple has nailed down release dates just yet.
A fully kitted-out version of Apple’s swanky new 13-inch MacBook Pro will set you back a pocket-busting total of $4,099.
Here’s what the extra cash gets you — and what the most expensive upgrades are.

Apple introduced this magnificent MacBook on October 14, 2008, and produced them until June 8, 2009. And it was one of Apple’s best notebooks ever.

It’s so good that it’s still viable today as a daily driver, with the added bonus that its weight will help keep you fit during lockdown. How do I know?

I thought, as my last post for Cult of Mac, that I’d review the 2008 unibody MacBook as if it were new. Let’s go.
