Apple MacBook Air
from £949 / stuff.tv/Air
The previous version was already the best MacBook Air ever – and this one brings a real step up in power. Apple’s amazing M1 processor means that, for once, we aren’t hankering after a Pro for video editing and graphics-heavy gaming. It’s a pity about the rubbish webcam – areal annoyance in the age of video calling – but this is a stunning machine in every other respect, and the best all-round work laptop you can get for under a grand.
