Apple 14″ MacBook Pro (2021)
My last personal laptop was a 2008 MacBook Pro; since then I've used work machines and a hand-me-down. After 14 years, I finally bought my own again, choosing the base-model 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021).

I'd been stocking up on USB-C devices to prepare for this: my company MacBook Pro 13-inch (Mid 2014) was due for a refresh after three years at Tech in Asia. Its replacement is the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar.
My work laptop had been a MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2011), now a three-year-old model. Under migme's policy of replacing laptops every three years, they bought me a 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013), with a 2.4GHz dual-core i5.
The Targus Crave II Convertible 3-In-1 Backpack for MacBook Air/Pro 13-inch (TSB772AP) retails for S$109. As the name suggests, it can be carried three ways, as a backpack, a messenger bag, or slipcase, with a dedicated compartment protecting both devices.
At this morning's event, Apple refreshed the iMac, Mac mini, and iPad, and introduced two new products: the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the iPad mini. Apple also seems to be dropping the 'new iPad' name.
After passing my MacBook Pro 15-inch to my brother, I use my work MacBook Pro 15-inch as my laptop, carrying it between office and home. My Fabrix sleeve needed a hand to carry, so I bought the Crumpler Dederang Heist.
The Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter is for the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro. I got mine in Hong Kong for HK$588, about S$93, against S$128 in Singapore. My work adapter is wired in awkwardly, so I bought a spare.
Apple has refreshed the MacBook Pro, bumping processor speeds while keeping the unibody design. The entry 13-inch gets a 2nd-gen Core i5, higher models a Core i7, all with Intel HD Graphics 3000 plus dedicated AMD Radeon graphics.

I received my Apple MacBook Pro 2.53GHz yesterday via TNT, after ordering from the Apple Store on 16th October 2008. TNT offered only two delivery slots: office hours from 9am to 6pm, or night delivery from 7pm to 10pm.
Apple has refreshed the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The 15-inch Pro now starts at S$3,188 with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 and dual NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT graphics.
