No longer does Apple’s entry-level MacBook make its subjects look like the living dead. While it’ll more than suffice for casual group chats and work meets, if you need a top-tier webcam you’ll still want an external one. Software: With Monterey on board and Ventura expected later this fall, there’s plenty to like, and indeed love, about macOS.Alternatively, if you’ve got a compatible iPhone, you could always wait for the Continuity Camera feature on the upcoming macOS Ventura which will turn your phone into a high-res webcam. That’s doubly true for anyone already trapped inside Apple’s high-walled garden as recent versions have only increased interoperability within the Cupertino company’s vast product portfolio. Familiar features like Universal Clipboard, Handoff, and AirDrop are all great, but it’s Monterey’s addition of Universal Control that really moves the needle if you also have an iPad and/or iMac. Flicking between multiple screens with the same keyboard and mouse is genuinely magical.

You will still have to emulate some older x86 apps, but it’s no surprise that many devs have transitioned to native apps following the success of Apple Silicon.
