Big story: Apple unveils new Macs

During the short and unusually focused “One More Thing” event, Apple announced three new Macs that will use the M1 chip, its first Mac chip. This is the first of the previously announced changes to the Mac list to Apple silicon.

What about real Macs? Yes, there is the new MacBook Air, which costs $ 999 but should be 3.5x faster than the previous generation – and does not include a fan! There’s also a new Mac Mini with a basic price of $ 699, and a 13-inch MacBook Pro starting at $ 1,299.

Oh, and Big Sur, the latest version of the Mac app, will be released on Thursday, November 12th.
