Apple MacBook Pro

Apple has given the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the ‘go to’ notebook for Mac die-hards who thrive on heavy duty specs and performance, a complete reboot. Apple has doubled the storage (starting at 256GB and going all the way up to 1TB) across all standard configurations. At the heart of the new line-up are 10th-generation quad-core Intel Core processors with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.1GHz. If you need to switch from work mode to binge-watch mode, the vibrant 13-inch Retina display (that delivers more than 4 million pixels and millions of colours, along with 500 nits of brightness), backed with all day battery life, won’t let you down. The Magic Keyboard with a redesigned scissor mechanism is one of the headline features. 

Rs 122,990

ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14

ASUS’ ROG (Republic of Gamers) line has built a loyal legion of fans with smartphones and laptops that are geared for gaming.. The Zephyrus 14 is designed to be a showstopper and won’t look out of place in a futuristic board room. It’s also remarkably light (1.6kg) and slim (17.9mm) for a badass gaming laptop. The design borders on industrial chic with an edgy magnesium-aluminium alloy deck that’s forged and machined for a perfect fit. Typing on the chiclet keyboard is a joy. 

We totally dig the Anime Matrix feature (available in the high-end variants), an innovative personalisation element that combines 1,215 mini LEDs across the lid. 

You can customise the animation adding GIFs or text. The Zephyrus is powered by the future-proof AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS processor with up to 8 cores and 16 threads offering power packed performance;  it comes with a host of storage options (up to 32GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage). A 14-inch HD display with an impressive 85 per cent screen: body ratio combines with the Dolby Atmos App making it perfect for binge watching or gaming. 

Rs 98,990 onwards
