Apple TV just announced Twisted Yoga, a new true crime docuseries that’s premiering next week. Here are the details and the trailer.

You’d expect Windows Central to be pretty adamant in favoring Windows laptops over any MacBook. Yet not only the website itself, but also its readers, see the MacBook Neo as a move that should see Microsoft panicking.

I’ve just argued that the MacBook Neo offers phenomenal value for money and is the machine I expect to recommend to a great many people.

People would point to Apple’s cheapest laptop costing $1,000 and loudly proclaim that you could buy a Windows machine or Chromebook from around $300.

The comparison was of course spurious. The cheap laptops being used to make the argument were ugly plastic things with exceedingly poor specs compared to the MacBook Air.
