It’s a solid performer too, if since eclipsed by M1/M2 Pro and M1/M2 Max Macs. Well, at least in purple (Ed: and yellow). The state of play: We weren’t convinced about the April 2021 M1 iMac on seeing photos of it, but on review discovered it’s a beauty. Stuff says: If you want a desk-bound Mac, you’d do a lot worse than to get one of these. No news on a redesign of a case that’s now best and most charitably described as ‘classic’.

What’s next: The Mac Mini might be next updated when there’s an M3 chip – or Apple might skip a generation and go straight to M4.
It’s now a little bit cheaper for the standard Mac Mini M2 version but it is also available with the M2 Pro should you want more power. The state of play: The Mac Mini is still using the case from the 2018 model, the guts from the 13in MacBook Pro M2 or MacBook Air but with a few extra ports (2x USB-A, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet). Although given how much Mac users hated the Touch Bar, we shudder to think what they’d make of an entire keyboard being a glass surface when the device is in ‘laptop’ mode.
MacRumors reports a foldable MacBook Pro device is on the cards at some point. Expect the case design to stay the same, though. Apple’s said to be exploring eye-searing OLED displays and Face ID too. What’s next: M3 Pro and M3 Max are the obvious additions, likely due in 2024. Those models used M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, which have since been replaced with more powerful M2 Pro and M2 Max versions – as seen in our 2023 16in MacBook Pro review. The 14in MacBook Pro and 16in MacBook Pro that turned up in 2021 were a breath of fresh air, with a new design, revamped display, better camera and improved I/O. Its case was dated even then, and it continues to linger like a bad smell today. The state of play: The MacBook Pro with M1 arrived alongside the M1-powered Air in late 2020. Soon there’ll be no shortage of options, though: a bigger screen is always nice, but it’s getting trickier to pick the perfect model for you. If you don’t need pro-grade power, the M2 MacBook Air is the Apple laptop to buy. The new model’s typing prowess is equally assured, and is better on almost every front. Stuff says: We preferred the M1 MacBook Air’s design to the entry-level MacBook Pro’s – it was far nicer to type on.
