Apple outdid itself in 2021 with a refresh of nearly its entire lineup.

The latest MacBook Pro and iMac offer the blisteringly fast M1 chip and lots of nice design touches.

But I also discovered some great e-bikes to get me into the great outdoors.

For example, I discovered aterrific pair of headphonesfor around $50 and the $29 Apple AirTag.

My new daily driver is the16-inch M1 MacBook Pro, which is the best laptop Ive ever used.

The new M1 chip inside the Pro means apps launch instantly while also running cool.

Its also very power efficient, so you’re able to often leave your power adaptor behind.

For a more portable but still capable computing experience, consider the12.9-Inch M1 iPad Pro.

The giant screen on this tablet is perfect for watching movies or scrolling through long text documents.

Meanwhile, Apples least expensive product in years may also be one of its handiest.

AnApple AirTagcosts only $29, but it offers an effortless way to track almost any object.

Lastly, theAirPods Max.

Some of the best tech products out this year also kept me from looking at screens entirely.

For example, the newRad eBikemixes the capabilities and aesthetics of a motorcycle with a traditional bicycle.

The RadRover also boasts a powerful motor that keeps you zipping up steep hills without sweating.

The year in gadgets brought some fantastic refinements to everything from bikes to laptops to headphones.

Heres to the exciting innovations we can look forward to in 2022!
