APPLE

Apple

Apple is what I do, every day. These are the Macs and iPads I'd point you to right now.

MacBook Air 13-inch

Light, silent, and fast, with all-day battery life. The Mac I recommend most for everyday home and office use.

MacBook Air 15-inch

Everything great about the 13-inch with a bigger screen, which makes it easier on the eyes and better for working with two windows side by side.

iPad Air 13-inch (M4)

A big, beautiful screen and plenty of power for everyday work, browsing, and video calls, with Touch ID. The best value for most people.

iPad Pro 13-inch

Apple's best display (Ultra Retina XDR) and Face ID on a big, gorgeous screen. For people who want the very best and will use it hard.

WI-FI

Wi-Fi

I recommend eero for two reasons: it just works, and their tech support is outstanding when you need it.

eero 6+ Mesh Wi-Fi (3-pack)

Covers up to 4,500 square feet and handles gigabit internet. The right choice for most homes.

eero 7 Mesh Wi-Fi 7 (3-pack)

The newest Wi-Fi 7 technology, covering up to 6,000 square feet and handling internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps. Best for larger homes or ones with lots of connected devices.

STORAGE & BACKUP

Storage & Backup

Your files should always live in more than one place. A network drive gives everyone in the house or office one shared spot for files and backups.

Buffalo LinkStation

Easy-to-use network storage that works with Time Machine, so every Mac on your network can back up automatically.

PRINTERS

Printers

HP printers are reliable, work well with Macs, and are easy to set up on your network.

HP Smart Tank Plus 651

Refillable ink tanks with about two years of ink included, plus a document feeder for scanning stacks of pages. Great for homes that print a lot.

HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e

A fast, full-featured office printer with two-sided printing, a document feeder, scanning, and fax.

BATTERY BACKUP (UPS)

Battery Backup (UPS)

A battery backup protects your computer and network from power outages and surges, and gives you time to save your work and shut down safely. I recommend one for every desktop Mac and internet setup.

APC Back-UPS 600 (BE600M1)

Compact and dependable, with a USB charging port. Ideal for your modem, router, and Wi-Fi.

CyberPower EC850LCD

More capacity and 12 outlets, with a screen that shows battery status. A good fit for a desktop Mac and its accessories.
