Processing capabilities aside, the sleek design of your standard Mac computer is a huge selling point in itself.
In a recent survey(Opens in a new window) of college students published by the Apple device management company Jamf, 71 percent of respondents said they preferred Macs over PCs. Of those Mac devotees, more than half (60 percent) cited the Mac’s “style and design” as the main reason for their preference.
If you’re buying a computer because you like the way it looks, you’re probably going to want equally attractive accessories so as not to detract from the system’s overall aesthetic.
If that sounds like you, you’ll want to pay Amazon a visit ASAP: The ecommerce giant is currently offering a discount on the Apple Magic Keyboard, a low-profile wireless keyboard that automatically pairs with your Mac and matches its modern design. It retails for $99, but you can snag one today for less than $70(Opens in a new window).
Available in a silver finish, the Magic Keyboard runs on a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for about a month or more on a charge. It supports all Bluetooth-enabled Mac computers with OS X 10.11 or later, as well as iOS devices (i.e., iPads) with iOS 9.1 or later, although you can also hook it up to your device using the included Lightning cable.
Performance-wise, Apple claims the Magic Keyboard types both comfortably and accurately thanks to stable scissor mechanisms that are hidden beneath each key.
The Magic Keyboard earned a “good” rating in PCMag’s review and praise for its “extremely compact” design, “quiet keys,” rechargeable battery, ability to automatically pair with your Mac, and more.
Amazon reviewer Em is also a fan:
“After using this keyboard, it’s hard to imagine going back to using a keyboard with a wire. This keyboard is easy to move around with my laptop or a lap desk or elsewhere. I also love how easy this keyboard is to charge and set up with a device. The keyboard is clean looking and a compact size, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space (it doesn’t include the number keypad, but I don’t miss it).”
Get the Apple Magic Keyboard on Amazon for just $67.31(Opens in a new window), or 32 percent off.
