At some level, you expect FPS games to be fast and fluid. Doom The Dark Ages is the best and most recent example, but you can look as far back as the original Doom, the first Half-Life, and the first Quake, and see that the history of shooters is rooted in running and gunning. Rainbow Six, when it was originally released back in 1998, felt like something profoundly different. Slow, methodical, and punishing, in the classic Rainbow Six games, every enemy can kill you, and every closed door and corridor feels like a boss fight. From one of its creators, whose credits also include the first Ghost Recon, Ground Branch is a deeply realistic tactical shooter, and its just been overhauled and expanded.

I recently wrote why I'm keeping my perfectly fine M1 Pro MacBook Pro for another two years (or whenever Apple redesigns the MacBook Pro). Still, that doesnt stop me from flirting with the idea of buying an M4 Pro MacBook Pro every single day.Even with just the faster processor, I've already convinced myself that this machine brings a lot more to the table. These better features include the 12MP Center Stage camera, the nano-texture display, more base RAM, and longer battery life. One of the things I was considering when hypothetically choosing the M4 MacBook Pro was the Space Black color, which debuted with the M3 version. Apple says it revamped the finish with anti-fingerprint technology and claims it's truly gorgeous.Still, who are we kidding? This color is a fingerprint magnet.M4 MacBook Pro on a table. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRWhile checking out some of the M4 MacBook Pro reviews on Amazon, I came across several photos showing just how rough this laptop can look if you're not really careful. Honestly, I don't blame Amazon customers for letting their keyboards and MacBook chassis get smudged. I usually type for eight hours a day, so it's only natural for hand oil to eventually make its way onto the keys, case, and trackpad.With a Space Black MacBook, though, it's a lot easier to notice how bad the laptop can look after a work session. Let's be real: your friend's MacBook only looks brand new because they're probably using it closed with an external display. Every MacBook owner knows the keys will eventually fade, and the chassis where you rest your palms will start to show marks from your wrists.Space Black is sleek, but Silver lasts longerImage source: Christian de Looper for BGRWhile it seems Apple might be working on new keyboard technology with aluminum keys instead of the (cheap) plastic currently used, users need to be careful when choosing a MacBook right now. My advice: go for the lightest color available. Your fingerprints wont be as noticeable, even though the keys will still wear down over time.That said, I really hope Apple figures out a way to fix the issue with its keyboards across devices. It makes no sense for such a premium device to look worn so quickly. The same goes for the iPad's Magic Keyboard, the standalone Magic Keyboard, and the Magic Trackpad for Macs.But be careful with Apples white accessories like cases, the Magic Keyboard for iPad, folios, AirTag Loops, and the rest. These will eventually yellow or get dirty in ways thatll leave you wondering how it even happened. So keep this in mind: Go for light-colored Apple devices, but stick with darker accessories.Don't Miss: Apple is working on a major redesign of its MacBook keyboardThe post Amazon customer reviews made me realize something sad about Apple laptops appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsAmazon deals: 20% off gift cards from Amazon, $553 unlocked iPhone 15, $114 standing desk, moreTodays deals: $720 Apple Watch Ultra 2, $6.50 Anker fast chargers, $35 2K camera drone, Fitbit sale, moreTodays deals: $399 iPad mini 7th-Gen, $395 75-inch smart TV, $400 eufy Omni C20, Energizer batteries, moreBest Apple Watch deals for May 2025
