MacBook Air vs Pro
When you're buying a MacBook there's one common question everyone has to answer for themselves at some point: MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro?
The simple answer is: Both are great laptops that feel speedy to use and last a long time on a full battery. MacBook Airs are ultralight laptops that now come with either 13-inch or 15-inch screens and are generally fine for basic work and browsing, while MacBook Pros are slightly heavier, come with 14-inch or 16-inch screens (now that the 13-inch MacBook Pro is discontinued) and are better-suited for demanding tasks like coding, photo/video editing or game development.
Apple M1 vs M2 vs M3 chip
Once you've decided whether you want a MacBook Air or Pro, the next thing to think about is which model you want. In general, the newer the laptop, the better it performs.
Ever since Apple rolled out the first MacBook Air with M1 in 2020 we've been amazed by how speedy and power-efficient Apple's laptops are now that the company is equipping them with its own Apple silicon. What that means for you is that while the newest MacBooks with M3 chips are the fastest and most powerful on the market, you won't be missing out if you decide to get an older MacBook with an M2 chip instead.
Even the old M1-powered MacBook Airs are still plenty serviceable as basic laptops you can use to browse the web, write emails or do homework. Just don't expect them to be supported as long as the newer MacBooks, which will support the latest version of macOS for years to come.
