It's been a Mac-heavy week! In this episode, Devindra and producer Ben Ellman dive into all of Apple's new M4 hardware: the new iMac, Mac mini and refreshed Macbook Pros.

That will benefit all users, even if they don't care about Apple Intelligence. Listen below or subscribe on your podcast app of choice.
