Macworld Apple’s most affordable new laptop is a $999 MacBook Air. For a lot of people, that’s still too expensive, especially when compared to Chromebooks and budget PCs. But Apple may finally be doing something about that. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to release a brand-new MacBook model that’s designed for the low-cost…
Macworld When it comes to announcements, Apple takes a feast-or-famine approach. Most of the time the company guards its product roadmap secrets jealously, but when event time arrives it jumps on stage and fire-hoses knowledge into journalists’ faces. Until this month.

As a former owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (you know, the explodey one), I’m a little sensitive to exactly how much chemical energy I’m shoving into my jeans on any given day. Case in point: accessory maker Anker is recalling six of its popular USB power banks, which are at risk for “melting…
