Binance warns of iOS 27 flaw that could expose
Macworld Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has issued a warning that recent versions of iOS have a security vulnerability that can put Apple devices at risk. The vulnerability can be found in iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2. Binance states that the vulnerability allows malicious software to read local files from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across the entire ecosystem. However, the vulnerability can only be exploited if the malicious software was installed outside of the App Store. In other words, the malicious app has to be installed by sideloading or by a manually signed iOS App Store Package. Thats unlikely to happen outside of the EU, where Apple allows alternative app marketplaces and installation of apps outside of the App Store. The current version of iOS is 27.2.1, which was released on November 9, but it is not clear if that update includes a security fix that addresses the issue. Because the issue involves an unauthorized method of software installation, Apple may not address the issue immediately. How to protect your iPhone from malware Sideloading apps increases your chances of security risk. Software that is available on the App Store has been vetted for security issues. To minimize the chances of inadvertently installing malware, do not sideload apps on your iPhone and only use apps from the App Store. If you do sideload apps, understand that you have increased your risk. The easiest task to perform to secure your iPhone is to update the operating system. iOS can be updated in the Settings app by tapping General > Software Update . Apple also has a separate method for installing immediate security patches called Background Security Improvements. It is located in Settings > Privacy & Security , scroll to the bottom to find Background Security Improvements. Macworld has a list of tips for keeping your iPhone secure .

The MacRumors Show: HomeView and Apple TV 4K First Impressions
On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show , we share first impressions of Apple's new HomeView and Apple TV 4K, including their hardware, everyday usefulness, and experiences with Siri AI. Subscribe to The MacRumors Show YouTube channel for more videos Following a week with the HomeView , Apple's new smart home device makes a strong impression with its build quality and sound, but leaves questions about how much it adds to a household already filled with Apple products. Its overlap with existing devices has already prompted some skepticism. The 7-inch display may feel smaller in person, with its square aspect ratio and thick bezels contributing to an appearance reminiscent of a large Apple Watch. Sound quality from the tabletop model is a highlight, falling between the HomePod mini and full-sized HomePod. That also raises questions about the value of the wall-mounted version, which costs the same $299 before mounting accessories but lacks the larger speaker base. In the kitchen, setting timers, playing music, answering questions, and controlling smart home accessories provide straightforward reasons to use the HomeView. Turning web recipes into clean, step-by-step instructions with ingredient checklists is a particularly useful example of where the software is designed around its setting. Elsewhere in the home, its purpose can be less obvious, especially at a desk already surrounded by screens. Review: Is Apple's All-New HomeView Smart Home Hub Worth $299? Personalization is another promising part of the experience. The HomeView's face recognition can switch quickly between household members, bringing up the correct person's apps and information even when two people are standing beside one another. The interface combines familiar elements from Apple's other platforms, but that familiarity also invites questions about whether it feels sufficiently tailored to the home. Messaging and browsing are available, yet typing on a stationary display may be something users do only occasionally. The HomeView has no App Store , instead supporting compatible third-party audio and video apps through a connected iPhone or iPad , just like CarPlay . Video playback offers some flexibility for watching something at a kitchen counter, bedside, or desk, although widescreen content occupies a small portion of the square display. Hands-On With the New Apple TV 4K and Siri AI The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K provides noticeably faster navigation and animations thanks to the A19 chip. Its built-in microphones make hands-free Siri convenient when the remote is missing, including while TV audio is playing. The updated Siri Remote's speaker also makes finding it around the room easier. Support for four-speaker HomePod surround sound provides another reason to consider the new Apple TV, particularly for users who already own compatible speakers. We weigh up the appeal of expanding an existing HomePod setup against buying a dedicated home theater system, and consider whether these additions justify the Apple TV's new, higher starting price of $299. Siri AI is a major part of both new products, and its expanded capabilities come with familiar frustrations. More complex questions and requests involving personal context can work, but long waits and inconsistent results can interrupt the experience. Our discussion also touches on occasions when simple tasks, such as adding reminders, prove less reliable than expected, despite the assistant's broader abilities.

Apple Meets Thai Officials Over iPhone Spyware Warnings
Apple met with Thai officials earlier this week to discuss spyware warnings received by politicians and other users in the country, Bloomberg reports. The discussions followed Apple's October 29 threat notifications, which reached users in 99 countries. Apple told Bloomberg that it issued the warnings after identifying activity consistent with mercenary spyware attacks, raising concerns about surveillance of Thai political figures. After meeting Apple representatives, Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob said that the alerts alone do not establish that attackers gained access to the recipients' devices. Authorities also had no evidence connecting the attempted intrusions to Pegasus , the surveillance software made by NSO Group. Thailand was previously the subject of a documented Pegasus campaign. A 2022 investigation by Citizen Lab, working with Thai organizations iLaw and DigitalReach, confirmed infections affecting at least 30 people between October 2020 and November 2021. Those affected included activists, academics, lawyers, and others connected to the country's pro-democracy movement. Apple's warnings to Thai users in November 2021 helped initiate that investigation, with recipients contacting researchers for assistance. Apple has been issuing threat notifications since 2021 , reaching users in more than 150 countries overall. The company says mercenary spyware operations devote substantial resources to targeting particular individuals, often because of their profession or public role. According to Apple's threat notification guidance , its warnings reflect high confidence that a user has been targeted, although detection cannot provide absolute certainty. Apple withholds details about how it identifies attacks to prevent operators from adapting their techniques, and its notifications do not attribute responsibility to particular attackers or regions. Recipients are advised to enable Lockdown Mode and obtain specialist help. A genuine warning can also be checked by signing in directly to account.apple.com .

Google Brings Gemini Live To Apple CarPlay
Google is rolling out its Gemini app directly onto Apple CarPlay , introducing Gemini Live voice conversations to vehicle dashboards. This global deployment supports all currently available Gemini Live languages, expanding access to conversational artificial intelligence for drivers on the road. By tapping the Gemini icon on the CarPlay home screen or side rail, users can initiate a new conversation or pick up where a previous chat left off. A key capability of Gemini Live is its fluid interaction model, which allows drivers to interrupt the assistant mid-sentence to add details, change topics, or pause the exchange. All active conversations are automatically saved to the Gemini app on the users iPhone for later review. Integration with connected Google Workspace servicessuch as Gmail and Google Calendar enables the assistant to perform practical in-car tasks. Drivers can request schedule reviews, listen to summaries of unread emails and long threads, and receive assistance drafting replies. Additionally, the assistant can help users rehearse presentations, explore complex topics, or discover convenient stops along a travel route. Personalization options, including the Daily Brief feature, allow the assistant to synthesize personal data into a custom briefing, though this requires manual activation in settings. Google notes that certain personalization features are restricted for users under eighteen years of age, as well as in specific regions such as the European Economic Area and Nigeria. This standalone application builds upon Geminis previous integration with Google Maps navigation on CarPlay, which was limited to navigation-related inquiries. The new dedicated app brings the full Gemini Live experience to the car dashboard. To begin using the feature, iPhone users must update the Google Gemini app , grant microphone permissions, and initialize Gemini Live on their mobile device prior to connecting to the vehicle.

Apple Says HomeView Sets New Record in Design-Focused Interview
TechRadar 's Jacob Krol interviewed Apple's Vice President of Hardware Engineering Matthew Costello about Apple's all-new HomeView smart home display, which is available starting today. The discussion was largely focused on the HomeView's design, with Costello touching on the device achieving a display-related record for Apple products. Specifically, the HomeView's display brightness can automatically go down to just 0.3 nits , which is a record low for any Apple product. This ultra-low brightness makes the HomeView especially ideal for a bedside table at night. I really love the fact that this is the lowest light performance we've ever engineered into a product, so it's down to 0.3 nits, said Costello. So officially, I represent the most dim product ever inside of Apple, he quipped. For comparison, some other Apple products like the latest iPhones and iPad mini are advertised as having a minimum 1-nit display brightness. HomeView's maximum display brightness is 500 nits. Unsurprisingly, Costello said the HomeView is designed for the home (truly shocking) and Siri AI. It really was constructed around Siri, he said. We really custom-built this user interface for the home, so the apps and experiences that matter most in the home setting are really front and center, he added. There's no logging in, logging out, which is super cool. It recognizes you and your information, and when you step away, it's gone.

Best Keyboards for Mac 2026: Top wireless, mechanical
Macworld Whether youre a Mac desktop or MacBook owner, theres nothing quite like finding that keyboard that fits perfectly within your setup. A keyboard, just as with picking the best mice for Mac , is a very personal choice. After all, youre likely to be pressing its various keys and twirling its dials for hours each day, and that makes getting the investment right all that much more important. Best Mac Keyboards fully tested We have all sorts of Mac keyboards in this round-up, including Apples default Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and the cheaper, and still-on-sale Magic Keyboard. We have some keyboards with customizable keys and dedicated apps, and wired keyboards (for those fed up with searching for new batteries every few weeks) as well as ergonomic solutions to help you avoid RSI, and some pretty stylish offerings that give Apple a run for its money. We also look at Hall Effect options that use magnetic sensors to detect key presses, full-size offerings and compact board. Here are our favorite keyboards for Mac users, many of which cost a lot less than Apples. Read on to find the Mac compatible keyboard that s best for you. You can also use Bluetooth keyboards with iPads, so expect to see some good options here if you are an iPad user, or take a look at our Best iPad Keyboards roundup. 1. Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID Best Mac keyboard with Touch ID Pros Touch ID key Nice design Cons Expensive No backlight Black version costs more Price When Reviewed: $149; $179 with numerical pad Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $86 View Deal $89.99 View Deal $129.99 View Deal Adorama $149 View Deal $149 View Deal $179.99 View Deal $199 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Apple sells four models of its Magic Keyboard, and some are more magical than others despite looking similar. There are two sizes (one with numeric keypad and navigation keys, and a smaller, more portable model without these extra keys). If your desk space is limited or you often travel with your keyboard, the 11-inch version makes more sense than the 16.5-inch keyboard. Keyboard type: Slim Size options: Compact, Full Colors: White, Black (full-size only) Aside from size, the two different models are differentiated by the inclusion of a Touch ID key, which works only with Macs that have an M-series Apple Silicon processor (post 2020). If your Mac is old enough to still be running an Intel chip, go for the non-Touch ID model. Only the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad is available with black keys; the others are all-white affairs. rather cheekily, Apple charges an extra 20 buck for the black version. Each is available in nearly 20 different language versions. English speakers can choose between US or British English. The basic design of the two keyboards hasnt actually changed that much, with the same slimline design and month-long battery life as their predecessors. At $149 , the smaller Magic Keyboard With Touch ID is priced at quite a premium for the Touch ID sensor. And, like the standard Magic Keyboard, it feels rather cramped, with a small Space bar and cursor keys. The lack of travel (the up and down movement of the keys as you press them) also makes the keyboard feel a bit lifeless for people who type a lot and need a bit more tactile feedback when theyre typing up a stormthey should consider one of the mechanical keyboards reviewed below. Then again, you might feel that your fingers have to do less work compressing the key. The key feature of these keyboards, though, is the Touch ID sensor, which sits by the F12 button on the top row of Function keys. This works just like the Touch ID sensors on the MacBook. Youll see a Touch ID panel appear in System Preferences when you first connect the keyboard. This allows you to store up to three fingerprints, which you can use to unlock your Mac, or to make secure payments on the Apple Store, or other online stores that support Apple Pay. There are a few other new features as well, including an Emoji command on the Fn key in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard, which displays the Emoji viewer panel so that you can quickly add emojis to any document or message that youre typing. There are new Function commands too, for activating Spotlight, Dictation and Do Not Disturb. As always, the larger version of the keyboard is even more expensive ( $179 white , $199 black ) but the numeric keypad will be useful for people who do a lot of number crunching at work. Theres more room to provide a larger Space bar too, and larger navigation keys. Even so, the thin keyboard panel means that the keys still feel a bit lifeless, so business users and budding novelists may prefer to look at one of the larger and more solidly built keyboards available from other manufacturers reviewed here. Save money by checking Amazon for: Smaller Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID ( U.S. and U.K. ); Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad ( U.S. and U.K. ). For the cheaper Apple Magic Keyboard without Touch ID: Small ( U.S. and U.K. ); with Numeric Keypad ( U.S. and U.K. ). To further complicate your choice, Amazon still sells versions with a Lightning rather than USB-C charging port. We have linked here to just those that charge with USB-C. 2. Logitech MX Keys S For Mac Best Mac keyboard for power users Pros Competitive price Function keys and numeric keypad Super sturdy Backlight Cons Backlight drains battery Price When Reviewed: From $99.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Check on Amazon Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Keyboard type: Slim Size options: Compact, Full Colors: Space Gray & Pale Gray (full-size); Graphite, Pale Gray, Black, Rose (compact) Its hard to keep up with Logitechs ever-growing MX range of keyboards, but the Logitech MX Keys S For Mac ( $129.99 / 109.99 ) is its top-of-the-range wireless keyboard, priced at $109.99/109.99. Its slimline, low-profile design is very smart and attractive, and available in either Space Gray or Pale Gray. Its the most solidly built Mac keyboard we have tested, and is capable of surviving some heavy-handed typing when it needs to. The MX Keys S For Mac is significantly cheaper than Apples Magic Keyboard (from $179/179), but also a lot more versatile, as it includes a dedicated set of buttons that allow you to pair it with three separate devices, including Macs, iPads, Windows PCs, and even Linux and Chrome devices. It does, like all non-Apple keyboards, lack the Magic Keyboards Touch ID key. Look for the For Mac model as it offers a Mac dedicated layout. The Command Key is the giveaway when you want to ensure you have the regular Mac keyboard layout. There are different models for U.S. and U.K. layouts, toowhich you dont get with the Satechi keyboards. The original MX Keys was launched a few years ago, so this updated MX Keys S includes a number of new features, such as Function keys that can be used to activate dictation on your Mac, open the emoji menu, or mute/unmute your microphone for video-calls. The backlighting has been improved too, automatically reacting as you first move your hands onto the keyboard, and adjusting to suit the ambient light in the room around you. The backlight does drain the battery thoughthe keyboard can last for up to five months if youre not using the backlight, but this drops to around 10 days if you have the backlight on all the time. You can use the MX Keys S with any Mac, and it will work like a standard keyboard with a row of Function keys that control settings such as brightness and volume, or activating Expos. However, Logitech also provides an app, called Options+, which requires macOS 12 or later. This allows you to reprogram the various Function keys to perform different tasks. It can also be configured to work with specific apps such as Photoshop or Premiere, which makes it a particularly good option for professional users who want to speed up work in their key apps.

It come in Graphite & Green, Graphite & White, Lilac & Off-White, Off-White & Orange and Rose & Off-White. Logitech can certainly do great colors. We like the contoured, flat keys of the POP Icon keyboard. They feel comfortable when typing and are quiet, which is, of course, less of an attraction for fans of mechanical keyboardsif you prefer the clickety-clack, look to Logitechs $99 Pop Keys mechanical models. Thanks to its slim design, the Pop Icon keyboard is also easy to position and has all the keys you need. However, the layout is also a little cramped as some important keys are close together. The Pop Icon keyboard also offers all the usual shortcut key combinations, such as for muting, an emoji menu or taking a screenshot. The four action keys can be customized using the Logi Options application, which is available to download free of charge. The Logitech Pop Icon Keys is compatible with multiple operating systems and devices and can be connected to up to three devices simultaneously. This means you can switch between different laptops with a single click. According to the manufacturer, the keyboard has a battery life of up to 36 months. It uses standard AA batteries rather than being recharged via USB. The Logitech Logi Options app can be installed and used free of charge. It provides the Smart Actions already described as well as an AI Prompt Builder, which is based on ChatGPT 4. This allows texts to be copied automatically and reworded, shortened or suitable responses formulated using preset commands. 4. Logitech Signature Comfort Plus Combo Cheap, customisable keyboard & mouse Pros Affordable keyboard/mouse combo Comfortable design Versatile app and customisation features Cons No wired/USB connection No rechargeable battery Mouse is right-handed only Price When Reviewed: 99.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $99.99 View Deal Logitech $99.99 View Deal $139.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Keyboard type: Deep-profile (plunger) keys Size options: Full-size Colors: Graphite or off white The Logitech Signature Comfort Plus Combo MK880 is an affordable wireless keyboard and mouse bundle aimed at people who spend long hours working at a desk. Costing significantly less than Logitechs premium MX range, it delivers many of the same productivity benefits while making a few sensible compromises to keep the price down. The keyboard is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a gently curved layout and an integrated wrist rest that encourages a more natural typing position. Although it lacks the split ergonomic design found on dedicated ergonomic keyboards, it remains comfortable to use over long periods. The keys have a satisfying amount of travel, feel responsive, and are relatively quiet, making the keyboard well suited to office environments. The accompanying Comfort Plus mouse follows a similar philosophy. It has a lower-profile shape than the MX Master, making it comfortable to hold, while quiet buttons help reduce noise during use. Logitech has added a soft palm cushion, although the reviewer found this feature made little noticeable difference. One major drawback is that the mouse is only available in a right-handed version, leaving left-handed users without an option. The combo connects via Bluetooth and can pair with up to three devices, making it easy to switch between a Mac, iPad or PC. However, it doesnt support wired USB connections and the standard package doesnt include Logitechs Bolt USB receiver, although a business edition will. Another compromise is the use of replaceable rather than rechargeable batteries, though Logitech estimates both devices will run for up to 24 months on a single set. Logitechs Options+ software adds considerable value by allowing users to customise keyboard shortcuts, mouse buttons and app-specific controls for software including Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Photoshop, making the combo especially appealing to productivity-focused users. Overall, the Signature Comfort Plus Combo MK880 is a comfortable, affordable wireless keyboard and mouse designed for everyday productivity. Its best suited to budget-conscious professionals and power users who want ergonomic comfort and extensive customisation without paying MX-series prices. Its less suitable for left-handed users, anyone who prefers wired peripherals or rechargeable batteries, or those wanting an ultra-low-profile keyboard. The biggest compromises are the lack of wired connectivity, rechargeable batteries and a left-handed mouse, but for most office workers these shortcomings are outweighed by its comfort, long battery life and excellent value.

Lemokey L1 HE Best Mac keyboard for gamers Pros Excellent linear switches Ear-pleasing typing sound Magnetic Hall effect switches Highly customizable Cons Substantial weight No height adjustment Only U.S. layout available. Expensive Price When Reviewed: $239.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Lemokey $239.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Keyboard type: Mechanical Size options: Compact Colors: White, Black, Silver The Lemokey L1 HE is one pricey keyboard, but you certainly get a lot for your moneyincredible build quality and a raft of high-quality features. If moneys no object and you want a premium gaming keyboard, the L1 HE fits the bill. From a sound point of view, it brings a thocky sound that is deeply satisfying when youre firing off sentences at a rapid clip. The L1 HE comes in a 75 percent layout, which essentially chops off the numpad and loses a fistful of bonus keys for good measure. It offers the standard QWERTY keys and a function row, alongside a few extras (Delete, Insert, Page Up, Page Down, Home, but no End). If you think that makes this a more portable keyboard, note that its built like a tank, with an all-aluminum chassis and barely a strip of plastic in sight. It tipped the scales at a smidge under 4.5 lbs (over 2kg). The Lemokey L1 HE is loaded with gamer-pleasing features, including a rapid trigger mode that repeatedly actuates without requiring each key to be fully released, a Snap Click feature that allows two keys to be alternated in quick succession, an analog mode that permits fine-grained control rather than binary on/off statuses, and more. On the left-hand side of the keyboard are four programmable macro keys, which can be set using Lemokeys Launcher companion app. Above them is a customizable roller (set to adjust system volume by default) and a flip switch for changing between Bluetooth, wired and 2.4GHz modes. The roller is textured and firm, if a little heavy in action, while the flip switch clicks satisfyingly in use. These switches come pre-lubed for smoother motion and also feature magnetic Hall effect tech as opposed to a more traditional mechanical switch structure. Sadly, this keyboard lacks any kind of height adjustment, and that resulted in a degree of discomfort after only a short period of typing. I eventually got used to it, but the lack of height adjustment means its ergonomics are sub-par. Given its $240 price tag, the Lemokey L1 HE isnt an impulse buy for most people. That said, its stuffed with high-end features that will benefit typists and gamers alike, from its hot-swappable Hall effect switches and smooth acoustics to its huge customizability and compatibility with both macOS and Windows layouts.

Satechi Slim X1, X2 and X3 Best budget backlit Mac keyboards Pros 10 adjustable backlight levels Quiet keystrokes Three Bluetooth channels Long battery life Cons Backlight can drain the battery quickly Only U.S. layout available Price When Reviewed: From $49.99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price Satechi (X1) $49.99 View Deal $69.99 View Deal $89.99 View Deal $89.99 View Deal $89.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Keyboard type: Slim Size options: Compact, Mid, Full Colors: Space Gray, Silver Satechi offers a wide range of low-rise Mac keyboards, including the Slim X and new Slim EX ranges. There are subtle differences between these keyboards, between functionality and size. Unless you live and work in a super-bright environment, adding visibility to your keyboard can help you locate the right key, which is especially helpful for non-touch typists and those that type at night. Backlit keyboards can improve visibility and reduce eye strain and casual errors. In my opinion, they can make a workspace look better, too. The aluminum Slim X keyboards boast ten adjustable brightness levels for you to customize the keyboards backlight to your preference and environment. The smallest is the Slim X1 , which is great for portability or smaller desks; its perfect for people who dont use a numeric keypad or navigation keys. The Slim X2 adds a numeric keypad, but for the largest and most able of the range the Slim X3 gets numeric keypad plus navigation keys. To cope with the backlighting demands, the Slim X1 has a 1000mAh battery, and the Slim X3 is even more impressive at 1300mAhmeaning longer between USB-C recharging sessions. With the Slim X series, you can type across three connected wireless devices with assigned Bluetooth keys. To add a fourth, check out the Satechi Slim EX range, reviewed below. The only disappointment for international users is that Satechi is a U.S.-centric company, so its keyboards only offer U.S. layouts. Thats not too much of a problem for U.K. users, though, as you can still use standard commands such as Shift+3 to print the symbol, even though the U.S. layout means that the 3 key is labeled with the # symbol. But, if you need non-English layouts then youll need to look elsewhere. 7.

The Slim EX range is similar to the companys Slim X keyboards, reviewed above, but go one further with not just the Slim Xs three Bluetooth connections but an additional 2.4GHz USB-C dongle, which is neatly tucked at the back of the keyboard. Apples default Magic Keyboard is set to control just one device but this can be modified in the Macs Universal Control setting (System Settings > Displays > Advanced) to allow keyboard to move between a nearby Mac or iPad that are signed into your iCloud account. This process is much simplified in the Satechi Slim EX. The two Slim EX keyboards can work across Mac, Windows, iPad, and iPhone. OS-specific key mapping is automatic for macOS and Windows. Theres even a physical idiot-proof switch to flick when moving between Mac and Windows. This is placed near to the On/Off switch plus USB-C recharging port, and just below the Bluetooth switching buttons. Satechi sells its Slim EX1 in Black and Silver as well as the MacBook Neo colors of Indigo, Citrus, and Blush. Satechi The Slim EX1 is the most portable model, with the Slim EX3 adding numeric keypad plus navigation keys. The rechargeable 450mAh battery is not as capacious as the Slim X range, but it is user-replaceable battery which should reduce future electronic waste. Theres a sibling Slim EX Mouse , available in the same Silver and Space Black colors, that has two Bluetooth channels and 2.4GHz receiver. 8.

After all, if a keyboard is just going to sit on your desk all the time then its both simpler and cheaper to opt for a straightforward USB connection instead. And, as this is a backlit keyboard, you dont have to worry about the backlight draining the battery either. Satechi is one of the few companies that still makes a good range of wired keyboards, such as the affordable Satechi Slim W1 (compact) and Slim W3 (full size), which cost from $59.99 / 53.99. Satechi has a strong background in the Mac marketmaking some recommended Mac Thunderbolt hubs and docks which ensures that the W3 provides good Mac support too. The Slim W1 and W3 are aptly named, as they measures just 9.9mm thick, and lay almost completely flat on your desk, although Satechi also includes a couple of small risers that you can stick onto the base of the keyboard if you want to increase the tilt a little. Its sturdily built too, with a tough aluminum panel that weighs 440g (W3), and the keys travel well given the slimline, low-profile design of the keyboard. The W3 keyboard is quite large, measuring 42cm wide and 11.5cm deep, but it includes a numeric keypad, arrow keys, a set of navigation keys, and even manages to squeeze in no less than 19 Function keys as well, just like Apples more expensive Magic keyboards. If you want something a little more compact, the W1 omits the numeric keypad and navigation keys. 10.

Around the back is a toggle to flip between Windows and macOS key layouts. This ensures keys are where you expect them to beso that the key labeled Option actually works like an Option key. You dont get height adjustment, there is no way to raise it up or tweak its typing angle. At this price, a wrist rest would be a welcome inclusion, but none is included.

It is available as SM1 (compact) and SM3 (full-size). The SM1 has a 75% layout that consists of a simple QWERTY keyboard with a row of Function keys, but lacks a separate numerical keypad. That keeps the size down to just 31cm wide and 12cm deep, so it doesnt take up very much desk space at all, and you could easily slip it into a backpack if you wanted to carry it around with you. Its solidly built, though, and uses brown keys that are smooth enough for fast typing whilst also providing good tactile feedback for gaming (other types of mechanical keyboards can offer red and blue keys as well). Its also impressively versatile for such a compact keyboard. You can pair the keyboard with four separate devices and switch between them, and you have the option of connecting via Bluetooth, a USB wireless adaptor thats included in the box, or simply opting for a wired USB-C connection (although the wireless adaptor has a USB-A interface, so you may need an adaptor for Macs that only have USB-C). Theres a row of 12 Function keys that support standard Mac commands for adjusting brightness and volume, and activating features such as Mission Control or Spotlight. It has the standard Command and Option keys that youd expect on a Mac keyboard, but you can switch between Mac and Windows modes with a quick shortcut, and Satechi even includes three spare keys for the Windows menu and Alt keys, so that Window users can physically swap keys and feel more at home. The full-size SM3 has a numeric keypad. The rechargeable battery lasts for up to two months if youre not using the backlight, although this drops to a modest 16.5 hours when using the backlight (which includes 14 eyeball-frazzling lighting patterns that can be controlled using a special lighting key). However, the keyboard has a sleep mode to conserve battery power by turning the backlight off if the keyboard hasnt been used for a while. I was also pleased to find that you can use the SM1 in wired mode as well, using the USB-C cable that is included in the box, whilst also recharging the battery at the same time. Just remember that Satechi only provides keyboards with a U.S. layout, so theres no option thats suitable for non-English languages. 16.

However, the K950 is intended to provide a more affordable option for home users and people who work from home. Its available in either graphite or white, and you can buy it on its own for $79.99/79.99 or as a combocalled the MK950with a mouse included for $99.99/109.99. The layout of the two keyboards is the same, with the K950 including a row of Function keys, arrow keys for navigation, and a numeric keypad. The lower price means that its built out of more lightweight plastic, although it still feels sturdy and firm enough to cope with long hours of typing when youre at work. Theres no backlight on the K950, and rather than having a rechargeable battery, it is powered by two AAA batteries. Logitech includes a set of batteries so that you can use it straight out of the box and, with no backlight to drain the power, it states that a single set of batteries should last for up to three years. The lack of backlight also means that you gain two extra Function keysas theyre not required to turn the backlight up or downwhich are now devoted to Mission Control and Launchpad. The K950 is just as versatile as its more expensive counterpart, though. It can be used as a conventional Bluetooth keyboard, but Logitech also includes a USB wireless adaptor as well (albeit with a USB-A interface, so some people may need an adaptor for their Mac). And, like the MX Keys S, the K950 includes a special set of buttons that allow you to pair it with three different devices and quickly switch between them, including Macs, iPads, Windows PCs, Chrome and Linux. Most of the Function keys work with the Mac automatically, but you can also use Logitechs Options+ app to reprogram the keys to suit the apps that you work with most. 18. Apple Magic Keyboard Best keyboard for Intel Macs Pros Great for older Macs (pre-2020) Cons No Touch ID Navigation keys are a bit fiddly to use Some models have Lightning charging port Price When Reviewed: $99 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $96.83 View Deal $99 View Deal Adorama $99.99 View Deal $99.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Keyboard type: Slim Size options: Compact, Full Colors: White Apples keyboards are a bit confusing, with two generations of keyboards available, and each generation offering two different keyboards, with or without a numeric keypad. The older generation of Magic Keyboards is still available, and is now intended primarily for use with older Macs that have Intel processors. These older keyboards lack the Touch ID sensor that is available with the two new keyboards that Apple launched in the summer of 2021. Touch ID and some of the other features of the new keyboards dont work with Intel-based Macs, so if your Mac has an Intel processor then these older keyboards are the best options available from Applealthough, of course, there are plenty of other keyboards available from other manufacturers, which we review here as well. The smaller Magic Keyboard can be expensive at $99 / 99 , but its elegant slimline design started a trend for low-profile keyboards that many other manufacturers now follow too. The aluminum body does feel quite sturdy, but the slimline design means that the keys dont travel very well, so speedy typists might prefer a larger keyboard that is actually designed to do some proper work rather than just looking pretty. The Space Bar and the little set of navigation keys in the lower-right corner of the keyboard are also rather small and fiddly. To be fair, though, the compact little keyboard does squeeze in quite a few useful features, with the top row of Function keys providing controls for brightness, volume and playing music. The Magic Keyboard works as a standard Bluetooth keyboard, and Apple says that its rechargeable battery will last for about a month at a time. Note that some models have a Lightning port rather than USB-C for charging. And, of course, theres the larger version, called the Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad ( $129 / 129 ). This is also quite expensive but adds a numeric keypad for people who need to do a bit of serious number crunching every now and then. This keyboard also has a larger set of navigation keys, which is very useful for scrolling through long documents or web pages, and an additional set of navigation keys that allow you to quickly jump to the top or bottom of a document. The larger keyboard layout also means that theres room for some additional Function keys too, going right up to F19 (rather than F12 for the smaller Magic Keyboard). Its a shame, though, that the options in the macOS for programming your own keyboard shortcuts are fairly limited, so power users might prefer to use a third-party utility such as USB OverDrive or HotKey App, to make full use of these extra Function keys. This larger keyboard has the same month-long battery life as the smaller Magic Keyboard, although its showing its age a little as (surprisingly) its charging cable still has a USB-A connector.

Read our full Apple Magic Keyboard (no Touch ID) review How to pick the best keyboard Choosing the right keyboard is a personal decision that can significantly impact your daily comfort and productivity, whether youre typing, gaming, or doing creative work. Key factors to consider include the keyboards primary use, its physical design, and the technology inside its keys. Before diving into specific models, consider what you need from a keyboard. Your choice will depend on a combination of feel, features, and function. Typing Experience and Comfort : The feel of the keys under your fingers is one of the most critical aspects. This includes key travel (the distance a key moves when pressed), the force required to register a keystroke, and the overall sound and tactile feedback. Some users prefer the deep, satisfying feedback of mechanical keyboards, while others favor the quiet, low-profile feel of membrane or scissor-switch models. Ergonomics also play a huge role; features like an adjustable typing angle, a built-in wrist rest, or even a split layout can help prevent discomfort and repetitive strain injuries. Size and Layout : Keyboards come in various sizes. Full-size layouts include a numeric keypad, which is essential for anyone who frequently works with numbers. More compact options, such as tenkeyless (TKL), 75%, and 65% layouts, omit the number pad to save desk space and are often preferred by gamers or those with smaller workstations. The layout also affects the size and placement of important keys like the Shift and arrow keys, which can impact your typing habits. Familiar with an Apple keyboard lay out? A PC layout is very different, with various keys located in different positions and the Command and Alt/Option key switched. Connectivity and Compatibility : Youll need to decide between a wired or wireless keyboard. Wired keyboards offer a reliable connection without battery concerns, while wireless models provide a cleaner, untethered setup. Many wireless keyboards can connect via Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB dongle/receiver, with some offering the ability to pair with and switch between multiple devices, which is great for multitasking across a laptop, tablet, and phone. Some find using a 2.4GHz receiver is more responsive than Bluetooth, so this is often favored by gamers. Many USB dongles, however, are USB-A, and theres no USB-A port on any modern Apple product so you might need an adapter. Also, ensure the keyboard is compatible with your operating system, whether its macOS, Windows, or both. Some keyboards include swappable keycaps and a switch to toggle between layouts. Language : It goes without saying that if you will want a keyboard that matches the keyboard layout common in your country. Especially if you arent an English speaker. Customization and Special Features : Many modern keyboards, especially mechanical ones, offer extensive customization. This can range from remapping keys and creating macros to swapping out the physical keycaps and switches (hot-swapping). Other features to look for include backlighting (for typing in low light), dedicated media controls or volume knobs, and specialized software for adjusting settings. Mechanical vs Membrane Keyboards The most significant distinction in keyboard technology is between mechanical and membrane models. This choice fundamentally shapes the typing experience. Mechanical Keyboards : Praised for their durability, tactile feedback, and customizability, mechanical keyboards feature an individual physical switch under each key. This construction provides a more precise and consistent feel, with switches rated for tens of millions of keystrokes . They are highly popular with typists and gamers alike. Switch Types : The feel of a mechanical keyboard is determined by its switches. Common types include linear (smooth, no bump), tactile (a noticeable bump mid-press), and clicky (a bump accompanied by an audible click). Some advanced keyboards feature Hall Effect or magnetic switches, which use electromagnetic fields to actuate keys, offering adjustable actuation points and enhanced durability. Customization : A major draw for mechanical keyboards is the ability to customize them. Many models are hot-swappable, meaning you can easily change the switches without soldering to achieve your desired typing feel . You can also replace the keycaps with different materials, colors, or profiles. Membrane Keyboards : These are the most common type of keyboard, often found in laptops and budget-friendly desktop models . They use a rubber or silicone layer under the keys that registers a keystroke when pressed down. While quieter and more affordable, they often provide a spongy or less precise feel and have a shorter lifespan compared to their mechanical counterparts . However, some high-quality membrane keyboards use a scissor-switch mechanism, which adds stability and provides a firmer, more responsive feel, similar to many modern laptop keyboards. Finding the right keyboard for your needs A keyboard is a very personal choice, and theres no single best option for everyone. For Office Work and Typing : If you type for long hours, prioritize comfort and ergonomics. A full-size keyboard with a number pad can boost productivity . Mechanical keyboards with tactile switches are often favored for their satisfying feedback, but a high-quality, quiet scissor-switch keyboard like the Logitech MX Keys S is also an excellent choice for a general-purpose office keyboard and is much quieter. For Gaming : Gamers often prioritize speed and responsiveness. Keyboards with low latency, a high polling rate, and features like adjustable actuation or rapid trigger mode can provide a competitive edge . Compact TKL or 75% layouts are popular because they leave more room for mouse movement. Linear switches are often preferred for their smooth, quick action. For Creatives and Customization Enthusiasts : Creatives may benefit from keyboards with special features like programmable dials or macro keys, such as the Logitech Craft . For those who love to tinker, a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard from a brand like Keychron offers endless possibilities for customization, from the switches and keycaps to the case material and internal sound-dampening foam. Ultimately, the best way to choose a keyboard is to understand your own preferences for feel, sound, and features. From there, you can explore the different types of keyboard layouts, learn about the nuances of mechanical switch types, or compare the benefits of wired versus wireless keyboards.
King Charles to Join Elton John
King Charles III will join Elton John on Apple Music 1 this Saturday for a special episode of Rocket Hour marking 50 years of The King's Trust. The episode premieres at 9 a.m. GMT on November 14, the King's 78th birthday. Recorded during his October visit to Apple Music's London studios, the conversation covers the musicians and fundraising concerts associated with the charity throughout its history. Charles and John discuss performances at venues including Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall, as well as artists who received support from the charity early in their careers. Muse, for example, used a grant to buy sound equipment when the band was still called Rocket Baby Dolls, before eventually returning to raise funds for the organization with a Royal Albert Hall concert in 2018. The episode's music selections also include Raye and Skye Newman. The recording coincided with the introduction of Apple x King's Trust Creative Labs , an education initiative offering young adults practical experience with creative technology. The program brings together up to 20 participants aged 18 to 30 for workshops exploring potential careers, with the first sessions held in October focusing on music and creative industries. Apple has supported the charity since 2019, providing technology and coding education resources through its existing programs. The partnership is also developing materials to help educators and young people build their understanding of AI. Charles previously visited Apple's UK headquarters in December 2024, where young people supported by the charity demonstrated coding projects. The London recording facilities were announced in September alongside Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station. The expansion combines new radio studios with a 600-capacity performance venue that can capture concerts in Spatial Audio and produce video for broadcasts. John has hosted Rocket Hour since 2015, using the show to introduce listeners to emerging artists alongside established acts. Charles previously worked with Apple Music on The King's Music Room , a March 2025 broadcast recorded at Buckingham Palace in which he shared songs by Commonwealth artists and explained their personal significance. The new special will air for free on Apple Music 1, with additional broadcasts at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. GMT on Saturday. Sunday repeats include broadcasts on both Apple Music 1 and Apple Music Hits at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. GMT.

Outlook, Teams, And Copilot Are Down: Here
A massive global Microsoft outage has entered its second day, severely disrupting essential services, government operations, and businesses across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. The technical failure , which began around 6:00 PM GMT on Thursday, has knocked out core productivity platforms including Outlook, Teams, and Copilot , leaving millions of users struggling with prolonged communication blackouts and operational delays. Microsoft stated that the issue stems from server setting errors affecting Microsoft 365 infrastructure, emphasizing that there is no evidence of a cyberattack . While the company reported positive signs of server stability and incremental recovery in North America and Europe after deploying a software patch, full restoration has been slower than anticipated. The widespread impact has hit critical public and private sectors globally. In the United Kingdom, healthcare workers faced major hurdles, with the NHS reverting to paper records and manual workflows. Schools, universities, police forces, and exam regulators also reported major digital roadblocks, while the Bank of England and international transport networks experienced email and booking delays. In Japan and Australia, government agencies and major corporations warned of substantial economic and administrative disruptions. Security experts have urged IT teams to exercise extreme caution with delayed emails, as cybercriminals often exploit technical outages for phishing campaigns. Furthermore, organizations have been advised to audit emergency workarounds and review single-supplier dependencies to mitigate future risks. As recovery efforts progress, businesses and consumers continue to rely on manual processes and alternative communication channels while waiting for full service restoration.

Marking Friday the 13th, a day traditionally associated with superstition and bad luck, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala have announced the title of their upcoming horror film, Hero Ki Horrorine. Directed by Sajid Khan, the film is a Jai Ho Media Ventures production, presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd. and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala. The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas in 2027. Along with the title announcement, the makers have also released the first-look poster, offering a glimpse into the film's horror-driven world. The poster features a frightening female figure with long hair, dressed in a blood-red sari. Her disfigured face, white eyes, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers add to the eerie appearance. Set against a dark, smoky backdrop, the visual introduces what appears to be the central horror figure of the film. While the title plays on the idea of a heroine, the first look hints at a rather unsettling character at the heart of the story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balaji Motion Pictures (@balajimotionpictures) The announcement comes after a year of theatrical and television projects for Ektaa R Kapoor. Bhooth Bangla emerged as a box-office success, while The Vvaan also found an audience. On television, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 and Naagin 7 have added to Balaji's fiction slate. The production house has also been expanding its digital presence through its association with YouTube for exclusive premium shows. With Hero Ki Horrorine, Kapoor returns to the horror genre, which she has explored through projects combining supernatural elements with mainstream entertainment. Producer Amar Butala, known for backing films such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kesari and the critically acclaimed Mission Majnu, has joined hands with Kapoor for this theatrical project. With Sajid Khan at the helm, the film brings together the makers' experience in commercial cinema with the horror genre. The title announcement on Friday the 13th sets the tone for the film, which promises to introduce audiences to an unusual take on the idea of a heroine. Hero Ki Horrorine is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor and Amar Butala under Jai Ho Media Ventures and presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd.

Microsoft is experiencing a major global outage that has disrupted Outlook, Teams and several other Microsoft 365 services. This has left users unable to access emails, calendars, and workplace tools. The disruption began on November 12 and has since continued into the following day, affecting individuals, businesses and government organisations across multiple countries, including India. The Redmond-based tech giant has attributed the problems to infrastructure and connectivity issues, but restoring normal service has proved more difficult than expected.
Apple's iPhone 18 is Missing From This Year's Lineup, and Samsung Could Be the Reason
Apple delayed the launch of the iPhone 18 because of a new deal with Samsung, according to a report. The tech giant was reportedly unable to secure an adequate quantity of camera sensors it needed for mass production. The Cupertino company has reportedly been sourcing camera sensors exclusively from Sony. The report now highlights that Sony executives have confirmed that its long-standing partnership with the iPhone maker has come to an end. To diversify its supply, Apple struck a deal with Samsung in August last year, which reportedly allowed the company to strengthen its manufacturing base in the US. As part of the new deal, Samsung is said to supply CMOS camera sensors for the newer iPhone models, produced at the South Korean tech giants facility in Austin, Texas.
Major Microsoft 365 Outage Continues
The worldwide Microsoft 365 outage continues, leaving users unable to access email and disrupting features in Teams, Copilot, and other services, although Microsoft says recovery efforts are making progress. Issues emerged on Thursday, November 12, with nearly 130,000 Outlook reports recorded on Downdetector shortly after 1 p.m. Eastern, according to the Associated Press . The disruption extended to businesses and government operations, with Japan confirming a significant impact on government IT systems. Exchange Online is at the center of the incident. Microsoft's service health page says affected users may have trouble opening mailboxes through Outlook on the web, desktop, and mobile. Messages may also be delayed. Exchange accounts accessed through other clients such as Apple Mail are also experiencing problems because the disruption involves Microsoft's underlying infrastructure. Similarly, the disruption has reached third-party AI services that connect to Microsoft accounts. The outage is also interrupting Microsoft 365 features that rely on Exchange. Copilot chats may fail, and the assistant may be unable to retrieve work emails, calendars, or files. Microsoft has identified additional problems involving Planner, To Do, administrative tools, and some SharePoint functions, although files stored directly in SharePoint remain accessible. Microsoft Teams is not entirely offline. Microsoft says that most calling, meeting, and messaging functions remain available, but users may encounter errors when scheduling meetings, handling invitations, or editing calendar entries. Some contact and channel management features are also affected. Microsoft's latest update said repairs across parts of the Asia Pacific region were improving mailbox access and helping delayed emails move through the system. The company is extending that work to other regions and adding capacity, but some users may still experience intermittent failures. Microsoft has increased the email timeout window to 48 hours to help protect delayed messages while backlogs clear. It says it has found no evidence of malicious activity and has not provided a deadline for full restoration.

HomeView has one big problem: The iPad
Macworld HomeView is Apples new attempt to compete with Amazon and Google in the smart home market. It only arrived in stores today, but its already shaping up to be a hit. Its design, which is somewhat reminiscent of a smaller iMac G4 , is cute, and it runs an operating system based on iOS. But HomeViews biggest problem is that theres already another Apple product that can do most of the same things. The main purpose of HomeView is to function as a HomeKit hub. But because its an Apple device, it also comes with some of the companys most popular apps preinstalled. It lets you answer FaceTime calls, play songs on Apple Music, or even check your calendar with Siri AI. All of this comes packed into a device that costs $299, not exactly cheap, but relatively affordable for a new Apple product in 2026. But when even the cheapest iPad can do everything HomeView does and more, Apples new smart home hub starts to seem quite expensive for what it does. The iPad is already a great smart home display Many Apple users had been eagerly awaiting the companys first smart home hub. Thats no surprise, given the vast market for HomeKit accessories. But the thing is, iPads were already fulfilling that role for many users already in the Apple ecosystem without even realizing it. Think about most of the things youre most likely to do with a HomeView check the weather, control the lights, send a message, play music. You can already do all of these things with an iPad without having to buy a new device. In fact, many Apple users have already turned an old iPad into a de facto smart home display just by placing it on a stand. The new OLED iPad mini has a bigger screen and more capabilities than the HomeView. Roman Loyola/Foundry Granted, there are important differences between the two. The iPad wasnt designed to be a smart hub and lacks some of HomeViews really useful features, such as an always-on display and private multi-user support. Still, in other areas, the iPad ends up being much more versatile. The iPad can run pretty much any app from the App Store, while theres no mechanism for installing apps on HomeView. And even the iPad mini has a larger canvas than the HomeView for widgets. In terms of design, the iPad also has some advantages. The entry-level model features an 11-inch screen, compared to the HomeViews 7-inch screen. Plus, the iPad has a built-in battery, so you can move it freely around your home. With HomeView, you have to think about where to place it and leave it there. Not only that, but you need to decide whether you want HomeView with its base or wall mount theres no way to switch between the two. With the iPad, you can. Sure, the HomeView has better speakers and a design that looks nicer sitting on a kitchen counter. But is that really worth giving up everything else? The things HomeView does best To be fair, its not that HomeView doesnt have any benefits over the iPad. The first is Apple Intelligence if you buy the cheapest iPad available today, it lacks even the most basic of Apples native AI features. HomeView is powered by the A18 chip from the iPhone 16, so it works with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. It can answer more complex questions and even pull contextual information from your iPhone. The entry-level iPad, on the other hand, is still stuck with the old Siri. However, its only a matter of time before the base-model iPad gets a chip capable of running Siri AI. But theres another feature that might be even more important: multi-user support. Unlike the iPad, which was designed to be a personal device, HomeView can be used by up to six people in the same household. This is a must-have feature if you dont want other people in your house snooping on your messages or photos. HomeView uses a Face ID-like facial recognition system to display each users personal data. Each person has their own Home Screen, widgets, and app content. From that perspective, HomeView makes a lot more sense as a smart hub than the single-user iPad. HomeViews biggest advantage is its app-less simplicity and muilti-user support Foundry HomeView vs. iPad: Which one to choose? Dont get me wrong, I do like the idea of the HomeView. Its a great addition to Apples ecosystem, especially for those who have a lot of HomeKit stuff at home. Having a dedicated screen that anyone in the house can use is a nice feature thats not really available on any other Apple device, and unlike an iPad, the HomeView is designed to be always available. You dont have to worry about charging it, finding where you left it, or unlocking it every time you want to turn on the lights. But I still think its hard to justify its price given all its limitations. Yes, an entry-level iPad costs $150 more, but it also does a lot more. It can serve as your smart home display and also function just like any other tablet, with a vast ecosystem of apps available. If you already have an old iPad at home, thats even better. You just need to buy a stand for it. If not, a refurbished 11th-generation iPad costs almost the same as a HomeView. I dont think HomeView is a bad product, and its actually cool to see Apple getting more involved in the smart home market. But the first generation seems to have too many limitations for its price. So for most users like me, an iPad will likely remain the first choice for some people when it comes to their smart home hub.

Best MacBook Neo accessories: Chargers, hubs, stands and more
Macworld The MacBook Neo , Apples entry-level laptop officially announced in early March 2026, is a sensation, bringing the Mac to a whole new market with its low price but surprisingly powerful specs and features. For just $699 you get the full Mac experience in a premium aluminum 13-inch laptop with FaceTime HD camera, speakers, mic and two USB-C ports. Compared to similarly priced Windows laptops and iPads with keyboards, the MacBook Neo offers superior build quality, performance, and storage capacityforhundreds of dollars less than any previous Mac laptop. Weve outlined some of the small compromises that Apple has made to get to that ultra-keen price point, but most of these technicalities wont bother the target audience at that great deal of a price tag. Thats not to say that the MacBook Neo is perfectotherwise why would the MacBook Air and Pro exist? For not a whole lot of extra outlay you can make the MacBook Neo an even better product and part of your digital lifestyle with these accessories. Here we list some of our favorite Mac accessories that we think every MacBook Neo owner should purchase or at least put on their wish list. MacBook Neo limitations and solutions Here are some of the limitations of the MacBook Neo that you can solve with the accessories in this guide. Slow 20W charger: Buy a faster charger Only two USB-C ports: Buy a USB-C hub One slow 480Mbps port: Buy a USB-C hub Single external display support: Buy a DisplayLink dock Small screen for desk use: Buy an external screen Satechi Essential MacBook Neo accessory 1: A charger Apple ships the MacBook Neo with a 20-watt (20W) Power Adapter (unless youre in the U.K. or E.U., wheretough luckyoull get just a charging cable and no actual charger). At just 20W, its a pretty low-powered adapter to be honest. In fact, its now hard to find a charger rated that low, with 30W or 45W increasingly the minimum output. If youre in a hurry for power, youll want something more capable than Apples puny 20W adapter. While Apple doesnt list fast charging in the Neos tech specs, in our own Neo charging tests we found it does charge faster when paired with a more powerful charger. Charging speed is largely determined by power output. The more watts available, the faster a device can chargeup to its maximum supported input. For example, you can plug a 140W charger into an iPhone, but it wont charge any faster than it would with a 35W adapter as the Neos max input is 30W. A 30W charger will be faster than the 20W but a little more powerful supply will get through any latency. We recommend at least a 35W charger. Better still, buy a much more powerful charger with multiple ports so you can charge more than just your Neo with it. Weve chosen two alternative chargers to consider: a compact 45W single-port model and a 65W multiport charger. For more options, see our roundup of the best USB-C chargers for MacBook for even more choice.

Keep the Apple charger as a spare, and buy the Belkin BoostCharge Compact USB-C Charger 30W in your Neos color. Belkin claims it can charge a MacBook Neo to 30% in just 29 minutes. The Apple 20W charger is just a plain white brick with non-foldable plug pins. It measures 1.63 x 1.67 x 1.06 inches (41 x 42 x 27mm). The Belkin BoostCharge Compact is smaller at 1.32 x 1.32 x 1.36 inches (33.5 x 33.5 x 34.5mm), and features foldable plugs (U.S. and U.K.). It even comes with a braided 2m cable in the same color.

Read our full Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger with Retractable USB-C Cable review Essential MacBook Neo accessory 2: More ports The MacBook Neo has just two USB-C ports on one side. Youll need one for your charging cable (included in the box), leaving just one port spare to connect other devices such as storage thumb drives, external displays, card readers, and so on. Simon Jary One of the Neos two USB-C ports is limited to a 480Mbps data transfer ratethats up to 250 times slower than the Thunderbolt 5 port on a MacBook Prothat will really bore the pants off you during a long backup to an external storage device. Use the slow one for your charging cable, and save the other much faster 10Gbps USB-C to connect a hub that boasts many more types of ports to make your Neo more like a proper desktop workstation. We like the Satechi OnTheGo Multiport Adapter reviewed below because it comes in all the Neo colors as does the Satechi Snap Hub. However, there are many more to choose from, adding between 4 and 12 extra ports, including USB-C and USB-A ports, card readers, Ethernet, HDMI, and more. Theres sure to be the perfect one for you and your MacBook Neo. See our reviews of all the best USB-C hubs and adapters for MacBooks . You can add up to 23 extra ports to the Neo if you splash out on one of the best Mac docking stations .

Its engineered specifically for MacBook Neos asymmetric USB-C port design, and measures 3.95 x 1.43 x 0.39 inches (100 x 29 x 10mm) with a marginal weight of 1.13oz (32g). It does take up both of the Neos adjacent USB-C ports but replaces these and adds much moreoffering two USB-C ports (one for 45W power delivery, and one for 5Gbps data), one legacy USB-A port, HDMI, and both SD and MicroSD card readers. While the Neo supports just one external display, this is ably handled by the HMI port that supports up to a $k display at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Many of these you dont get even with the top-end MacBook Pro. Its magnetic so can clamp to metal objects and comes with a magnetic adhesive ring that you can stick to the front of your Neo. There are two versions: a 5-in-1 that comes in Neo colors and a 7-in-1 thats redulation black. The OnTheGo Multiport Adapter is a portable pocket-sized hockey puck shape (65mm diameter) with a coiled braided USB-C cable and either five or seven varied ports. The 5-in-1 features two USB-C ports (one ready to passthrough up to 60W of power to the Neo, although it will use only 30W of that), one legacy USB-A port, an SD card reader, and HDMI 2.0for connecting an external display (up to 4K/60Hz). If you need Gigabit Ethernet to access a stable, fast wired network, youll need to forego the Neo colors for the black-only 7-in-1 model. That model also comes with a MicroSD card reader alomgside the SD reader, plus a second USB-A port, although it does lack the USB-C data port. What might interest Neo owners are the card readers that are ideal for adding cheap, portable storage. You can pick up a 256GB microSD card for$50, 512GB for $100, and 1TB for around$250, although storage prices can be very volatile. Read our full Satechi OnTheGo Multiport Adapter review. Satechi Essential MacBook Neo accessory 3: A desk stand A laptop is a far more flexible computer than one always tethered to your desk, but that portability and ability to work just about anywhere comes with a hidden price: sore shoulders and back. Ergonomicsthe study of people in their working environmentproves that being hunched over a laptop screen and keyboard takes a toll on your body; particularly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and tendonitis caused by repetitive strain and awkward postures. One solution is to raise the laptop to a better height and angle so that your neck and shoulders are relieved from those dangers, and that is best sorted by using a laptop stand with your MacBook Neo.

Essential MacBook Neo accessory 5: A separate keyboard When using the Neo with a second screen you might want to make the new monitor the main display. This makes the Neo into more of a desktop Mac when you are workingyou can use it as a laptop again whenever you want. In addition to a laptop stand (see above), you can significantly reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) by decoupling the keyboard from the screen so that while elevating the MacBook to eye level to prevent neck strain, you keep your wrists, arms, and shoulders in a neutral position. As fine a keyboard as the Neos own is, independent keyboards also offer greater functionality and convenience. For more keyboard options, read our reviews of the best Mac keyboards .

Essential MacBook Neo accessory 6: A power bank The MacBook Neo has a decent built-in 36.5watthour lithiumion battery. That compares to a 13-inch MacBook Airs 53.8Wh or 14-inch MacBook Pros 72.4Wh battery. According to Apple that should give you up to 16 hours of battery life, or 11 hours if using Wi-Fi. Depending on your usageand how regular you are at recharging your laptopyou might find the Neo runs out of juice at just the wrong time. Take it to a caf or on a flight and that battery life can seem to disappear in front of your eyes. A power bank is a portable battery pack from which you can recharge your MacBook on the go. For laptops there are three basic power bank capacitiesmeasured in milliamp hours (mAh) 10K, 15K and 25K. If catching a flight you need to know the Watt Hour rating as that is used by airlines to determine whether your power bank is allowed on the plane. Most airlines accept power banks of up to 100Wh, and any power bank of 27000mAh (27K) or lower should be within that limit. We have tested numerous models, so read our reviews of the best power banks for MacBook for alternatives.

Essential MacBook Neo accessory 10: A better cable The MacBook Neo comes with two USB-C ports and one USB-C cable for charging. As mentioned earlier in this feature, the more able 10Gbps USB-C port can be used to connect other devices or a hub for multiple types of devices. There are plenty of great 60W-240W USB-C charging out there, such as the Anker 310 USB-C to USB-C Cable , available in three colors and either 3-foot or 6-foot lengths, but the data speed is a puny 480Mbps so is not suitable for connecting the MacBook Neo to a monitor or storage drive. At a minimum we suggest a USB-C cable that can handle the same 10Gbps data-transfer speed and at least 60W of charging power.
