Top Macbook Apps



Jan 02, 2020. Apple’s MacBook line of laptops is the Gold Standard of portable computing — they seamlessly blend power, versatility, and elegant designs to deliver some of the most impressive (and priciest) hardware available. Nowadays, when Apple launches a new feature or design element, you can expect other manufacturers to copy it within six months. The Apple TV app has been a hub for movies and TV shows for a couple years, but got a big revamp last year and became the home for Apple TV Plus, the company's $5-a-month TV streaming service, in.

Great apps provide intuitive new ways for people to learn, create, and accomplish. The App of the Year winners set the bar for them all. We celebrate this year’s selects — and the developers behind them — for their innovation and exceptional design.
