Last, but not least, Apple announced a refreshed MacBook Pro 13” with up to 20 hours of battery life. This device starts at $1299 for the 256GB version. If you need more storage, the 512GB model is $1499, $300 cheaper than it’s Intel i5 cousin.

The Apple event seems to have overthrown any buzz surrounding the Xbox launch day. In addition to the Apple event, Microsoft seems to be struggling to fulfill pre-orders and get supply to retailers. Some who have pre-ordered from either Amazon or Best Buy received an email stating that their order has been delayed and that pre-orders should be filled by December 31st. Several resellers are now trying to make a mint by selling the Xbox Series X on Amazon as a “collectible” for $1200 or more. It appears that many celebrities have received their devices.
