The notebookвЂ™s design is lightweight and sleek with plenty of room for a full HDMI and an SDXC card reader. Gamers? You may want to stick to Windows for now. The MacBook Pro 14 combines a little bit of old with a whole lot of new for a tantalizing product that MacBook fans have been waiting years for - especially content creators and consumers. See our full Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) review. You're also stuck at 16GB of RAM, although our benchmark tests show that limitation does little to stop this performance beast. There are only two Thunderbolt 3 ports and the bezels around the display are thicker than those on competing models. While it earned our rare 5-star rating, the MacBook Pro has a few shortcomings. This is the same elegant design Apple has used for years and the Magic Keyboard is a pleasure to type on (and reliable, too!).

#MAC FOR DUMMIES BOOK UPDATE#

The largest update since OS X launched a decade ago, Big Sur is a beautiful redesign of the desktop OS.Д®verything else about the MacBook Pro should feel familiar. Rounding out the numerous enhancements found in the latest MacBook Pro is Big Sur, the latest version of macOS. Yep, you can run all your favorite iOS games and apps on your laptop now. With an image processing unit, the webcam (sadly, still 720p) is better than before and since it runs on Apple's ARM-based architecture, iPad and iPhone apps are now available on Mac. The M1 does more than improve speeds and endurance. And despite cramming so much power into such a slim and sleek chassis, the Pro lasted for an outstanding 16 hours and 32 minutes on our battery test, which simulates real-world testing.Д«ut wait. More specifically, the MacBook Pro is more powerful than nearly every PC on the market, including some workstations. With the best power-per-watt performance of any processor, the M1 brings the MacBook Pro's speeds and battery life to the next level. It is all thanks to the M1 chip, Apple's custom SoC for laptops. This is the huge leap forward we've been waiting on. See our full MacBook Air with M1 (2020) review Also, the 13.3-inch, 2560 x 1600-pixel Retina display on the M1 model was improved with P3 color coverage, making it more vibrant than the previous panel.

It has similar speeds and battery life, the same 720p webcam, a comfortable Magic keyboard and two USB-C ports. And, of course, Apple's least expensive 13.3-inch model is the most portable, coming in at only 0.6 inches thick and 2.8 pounds.Д«ut now the MacBook Air is closer to parity with the MacBook Pro than ever before. So why buy the MacBook Air instead of the Pro? While the Pro has better-sustained performance, the MacBook Air is cheaper and is pin-drop silent because it doesn't have a fan.

This is a combination you'll only find on the very best Windows 10 laptops, and even they can't compete in head-to-head performance. It's a complete turnaround for a laptop that was just barely getting by each year.Д«est of all, the MacBook Air still costs only $999, and yet, you get unrivaled performance along with 14 hours and 41 minutes of battery life. This latest model demonstrates the capabilities of Apple's M1 chip, which transforms the Air from an underpowered entry-level option to one of the fastest laptops on the market, period. The MacBook Air is the best MacBook for most people. Unless you need the extra screen real estate or frequently are using demanding software for video work, 3D modeling, animation or engineering tasks, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are beyond what most people need.

Our advice? If you do basic productivity work even with a smattering of more taxing software, stick to the M1 Air and use the savings to upgrade your storage or RAM. Starting at $1,999 you are paying a serious premium for Apple's top-tier laptops, but if you need all this power or hated some of the hardware changes they are worth it.

The gorgeous 120Hz displays are the best Apple has ever offered in its laptops. These laptops walk back some of the controversial decisions Apple made with the MacBook Pro in 2016 with the return of an SD card slot, HDMI, MagSafe charging and still boasts three Thunderbolt 4 ports. Either option is overkill for most users, but they do feature some other tantalizing upgrades. The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are powered by the M1 Pro or M1 Max processor.
