Explained simply
Apple makes the MacBook Pro, a range of higher-end laptops used for work, study and everyday tasks. The 14-inch and 16-inch models differ mainly in screen size, while the M-series chips are Apple-designed processors that power the computers.
Best Buy is a US electronics retailer that sells Apple products alongside other brands. Retailers sometimes include gift cards with preorders, which let customers reserve products before they go on general sale; the card is a separate incentive from the laptop itself.
The models described use Tandem OLED displays, a screen technology designed to produce strong contrast and brightness. Such launches matter to shoppers comparing price and features, and to retailers competing for customers buying premium laptops.
