If you’re looking for a special present for the Mac user in your family, here are some of the best luxury gift ideas this holiday season. <\/p>\n

\n

The holidays are a time for giving, but while you could get gifts for under $100<\/a> or even stocking stuffers less than $20<\/a>, sometimes you want to break the bank. For that special someone in your life, there are a lot of premium options out there for you to pick from. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If money is no object, or you have a hefty-enough budget at least, here’s what AppleInsider<\/em> proposes you get as a high-value Mac-related gift this holiday. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A new Mac<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

One of the most obvious high-priced gifts you could get for a Mac user is another Mac. Be it an upgraded model compared to what they already use, or a MacBook Pro to go alongside their desk-bound Mac mini, giving them a second computer is always a good option. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you do want the best deal on a new Mac, you should check out the AppleInsider<\/em> Mac Price Guide<\/a>, which covers everything from the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, to the Mac mini and Mac Studio. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course, while your attention should be on the Apple Silicon devices, a Mac Pro would certainly be impressive to gift someone. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

LG 32-inch UltraFine Display Ergo<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 32-inch LG UltraFine Ergo is a 4K-resolutioln IPS monitor, offering 178-degree viewing angles, 350 nits of brightness, and 95% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. While it’s a great monitor in terms of specifications, its appearance is even more impressive. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For a start, it uses a stand that sits to one side, not the middle, saving you desk space. It is also a virtually borderless display on three of its four edges, and can connect usng USB-Type C with 60W power delivery too. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If your intended gift recipient is a digital artist, improve their workflow with the Wacom One HD Creative Pen Display. At this price level, it’s not just a graphics tablet, but also one with a built-in 13.3-inch HD screen you can directly draw on. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Offering 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, it has adjustable legs to improve the viewing angle, and a stylus that doesn’t need a battery. At 14.1 inches by 8.9 inches and 0.6 inches thick, it is also highly portable, making it great to draw on the move with a MacBook Pro. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Synology 4-Bay NAS DiskStation DS920+<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

AppleInsider<\/em> always preaches to make backups wherever possible, just in case something happens to the data on your primary workspace. With a NAS like the Synology DiskStation DS920+, that neatly solves those problems. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Synology<\/a>
\n

\n

Able to take up to four 16TB hard drives, giving it a maximum capacity of 64TB, the unit also has space for two M.2 NVMe drives, which can provide fast cacheing of most-used files to speed up access. It’s also fast, with a quad-core 2GHz processor and 4GB of memory, so you could use it as a Plex server as well as a file server and backup location if you want. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Synology 4-Bay NAS DiskStation DS920+ is available from Amazon for $599<\/a>, without drives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Keychron Q6 Mechanical Keyboard, Knob Version<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

If you know of a typist or budding writer, you could give their fingers a premium experience, by giving them a mechanical keyboard. The Keychron Q6 is a wired custom mechanical keyboard with full-size 108-key layout, complete with a double gasket design, and high levels of customizability, though you could easily leave it stock. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The experience with the hot-swappable Gateron G Pro Red switches as well as the double-shot PBT keycaps can be very satisfying to work on for keyboard warriors, though there are other options including variations of color and switches. There’s even a knob, which you can use for volume control and other scale-based interactions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Keychron Q6 Mechanical Keyboard, Knob Version with Red switches and a grey color scheme is available from Amazon for $225.99<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Elgato Stream Deck XL<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Keyboard macros are handy, but you shouldn’t need to remember all of them. Instead, the Elgato Stream Deck XL provides an easy way to trigger functions on a Mac in a very visual way that Twitch streamers love. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The XL model has 32 keys, each consisting of a small display that you can personalize to show anything, and to perform many scripted actions from a single press. With hooks into Spotify, Philips Hue, and other software tools, you can get it to do highly complex actions all at once, on and beyond your Mac. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
