Which MacBook should I buy?
This comparison quiz will help you to decide on many factors including if you should get the MacBook Air or Pro. We want to make sure that you get the right Mac notebook for you. The questions we ask will help us to determine the different internal and external factors you require. From this we will find which MacBook you should buy.
There are currently only a few different versions of Apple’s MacBook: the clamshell shaped MacBook Air, and the more powerful Pro models. The pro models come in a 16 inch and a 13 inch screen sizes. The MacBook Pro models have a TouchBar above the keyboard, while the Air has the older keyboard shortcut buttons. While the TouchBar might seem more preferable many users find the touchscreen quite frustrating to use and it has never been fully embraced by popular applications.
We look at many other factors as well including: size, price, power, portability and battery life.
Apple silicone in the Mac
Apple has now started the move away from Intel to their own processor, the M1 chip. The chip provides some impressive improvements in both power efficiency and power itself. So much so that Apple’s MacBooks are now incredibly competitive to similarly powered Windows computers. This new chip comes with one small compromise, the M1 chip has built in ram so there is no way to expand the memory in the MacBook. On top of that the RAM available is relatively low. This has been done to make the M1 chip incredibly power efficient.
The M1 chip is in the MacBook Air models. The Pro models have the M1 Max or M1 Pro versions, which are powerful and more power hungry. To manage this extra power they have fans built in to cool the processor, the Air is fan-less. The fans allow the Pro to be used for higher processing applications, where the Air may well thermal throttle.
