Apple's Mac computers are known for their beautiful external design and powerful hardware, but one of the most visible constants that's accompanied them over the decades is the operating system, and it's been with us for an incredible 38 years.

All eyes are turning to the Apple M3 chip, which is expected to be the next generation of silicon from the Cupertino tech giant. Yes, we're still waiting on the next month's release of the first devices with the M2. But considering how long the development process takes, we're fairly confident that the M3 is already in testing, even if we're still due an M2 Pro M2 Max and M2 Ultra first.

I'm a massive hip-hop fan. So when I saw that Dorothy has transformed the most famous hip-hop albums into a brilliant poster design, it's safe to say I was excited.

If you've been living under a rock, you may have missed the revival of all things retro as of late.

MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) Check Price (opens in new tab) The MacBook Pro 14-inch came out in 2021, alongside it's bigger 16-inch sibling, to much esteem.
