Treat yourself this Christmas
MacBook Pro with Retina Display Price: £1499 There is nothing that is not incredible about Apple’s flagship laptop, the MacBook Pro. Though the Californian giants have been the victims of some understandable criticism in 2012 for unimaginative upgrades to their mobile devices, computing remains the one thing that they are undeniably the best at. Although only an option, you should certainly indulge in the Retina Display model that crams four million pixels into the 13 inch device and five million pixels in the 15 inch version. Inside, there are few moving parts as the whole thing is built on flash memory making the Pro super-slim and super-light. As well as this, the MacBook is super-fast, powered by the astonishing Intel i5 and churns out beautiful graphics by way of the NVIDIA GeForce. The build quality is, as you would expect from Apple, superb. Push aside minor grumbles about the lack of optical drive and you have yourself the ultimate in mobile computing. Additional extras such as faster processors and extra storage space are available, but with the cheapest accessories coming in at £25, you’re unlikely to find them in your cracker this year.
