The company officially ditched the signature wedge design for a boxier chassis. It comes in two new colors—midnight and starlight—in addition to the traditional space gray and silver options. The display is also bigger and is equipped with an updated webcam. Coming in at 13.6 inches (it’s 13.3 inches on its predecessor), the screen has thinner borders, a brightness of 500 nits, and a notch that houses a 1080p camera.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monitor-anchor"/><p class="paywall">Apple didn’t throw in additional ports, but the MacBook Air has the same <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/macbook-pro-ports-magsafe-design/">MagSafe treatment</a> as the high-end MacBook Pro models. Now you can attach the power cable magnetically to the laptop to charge it, freeing up both Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports. Speaking of, there's support for fast charging if you purchase the 67-watt USB-C power adapter, which Apple claims can juice up the laptop up to 57 percent in 30 minutes. I only have to charge it after about eight hours of use. When working outdoors with the screen at full brightness, the battery usually lasts for about six hours.</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketingUnitThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut consumer-marketing-unit consumer-marketing-unit--article-mid-content" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true"><div class="consumer-marketing-unit__slot consumer-marketing-unit__slot--article-mid-content consumer-marketing-unit__slot--in-content"/><div class="journey-unit"/></div></div><p class="paywall">Under the hood is Apple’s M2 chip, which offers a decent boost in performance compared to the original M1 processor. You get an 8-core CPU with the option to choose between an 8-core or 10-core GPU. I tested the model with an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 8 GB of unified memory. The MacBook Air ran smoothly on standard workdays when I had apps like Slack, Spotify, Telegram, and Messages running simultaneously along with 10 to 15 tabs open on Google Chrome. But I did notice its limitations on hectic days when I increased the tab count to 30. Whether I was switching tabs, scrolling, or minimizing and expanding windows, the experience felt sluggish. I even triggered the dreaded rainbow wheel a few times. My recommendation? Upgrade the unified memory to 16 gigs for a smoother experience.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--item grid-layout__aside"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYBuk kNleGZ

href="https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-air-15-inch-2023/">8/10, WIRED Recommends</a>) is the first large-screen option within the Air lineup. Seriously, you don't need to splurge on a 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro just to get a big display now. It packs all the same features as its smaller sibling (see above) including a redesigned chassis and a 1080p webcam. Even with the larger design, it remains thin and lightweight. At 3.3 pounds, it's a little over a half-pound heavier than the 13-inch model and slightly lighter than the 14-inch MacBook Pro.</p><p class="paywall">It's powered by the same M2 chip too, complete with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. (Unlike the smaller MacBook Air, the base model comes with a 10-core GPU instead of eight.) If it's within your budget, I highly recommend upgrading to at least 16 GB of unified memory. Having used the M2-powered 13-inch MacBook Air with 8 GB of memory over the past year, I'd often see the rainbow wheel whenever I'd have several tabs and windows open. This time, I tested the 15-inch MacBook Air with 16 GB of memory, and it handled 40 Chrome tabs, three separate windows, and multiple apps, without any hiccups.</p><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--in-content"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--in-content" data-node-id="pnbnc9"/></div><p class="paywall">I'm also a fan of the improved speaker system. Instead of using the same quad-speaker setup on the 13-inch model, this MacBook comes with a six-speaker system that includes two tweeters and two sets of force-canceling woofers. The difference is noticeable. It delivers better sound clarity, and I don't have to crank it to max volume whenever I watch a movie. Another noticeable change? Battery life. Even though Apple claims both the 13-inch and 15-inch have up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing, I experienced better results with the larger model. I'd have to plug in the 13-inch MacBook after seven or eight hours of use, while the 15-incher hit 18 percent after about 10 hours of use.</p><p class="paywall">I never once felt the need to connect the 15-inch MacBook Air to an external monitor, which is something I regularly did with the 13-inch model. If you spend all day working off a laptop and don't mind toting a slightly larger machine—that's still fairly lightweight—then it's worth it. </p><hr class="paywall"/><div role="heading"

most powerful MacBooks with Apple’s silicon? Look no further than the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro (<a href="https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-pro-16-inch-2023/" target="_blank">9/10, WIRED Recommends</a>)—if you can stomach the $2,000 starting price. You can choose to outfit either with Apple’s new M2 Pro or M2 Max processors.</p><p class="paywall">Both models have the same chassis as their predecessors, which come equipped with mini LED screens (providing deeper blacks and rich color like <a href="https://www.wired.com/review/apple-ipad-pro-2021/">on the iPad Pro</a>), a <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/high-refresh-rate-explained/">120-Hz refresh rate</a> for smoother-looking screens, a physical row of function keys in place of the Touch Bar (complete with a Touch ID button), a 1080p webcam, and a six-speaker sound system. You'll also get a variety of ports including an HDMI 2.1, three USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, an SD card slot, a high-impedance headphone jack, and a MagSafe charging port. Apple also added <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-wi-fi-6e/" target="_blank">Wi-Fi 6E support</a> along with Bluetooth 5.3.</p><p class="paywall">The two processor choice options are significantly more powerful than most people need. If you’re mostly working through a web browser and typing up documents, these machines are overkill, and you should stick with a MacBook Air. Editing 4K videos? Rendering 3D models in CAD? Producing music? That’s what these machines are intended for. </p><p class="paywall">WIRED reviewer Adam Speight tested the 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Max chip. He put the device through its paces by adding 4K footage, 3D effects, and image files to a project in Adobe Premiere Pro. The result? Smooth playback (without the need to reduce the quality of the footage to avoid stutters) and a speedy export time—proving that it's an excellent device for handling intensive, graphically-demanding production work. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro processor also delivered smooth performance when put through a slightly similar stress test (such as editing RED raw footage via Final Cut) with zero stuttering or hiccups.</p><p class="paywall">The 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Max does have exclusive access to a High Power Mode, which <a data-offer-url="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212852" class="external-link" data-event-click="{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212852&quot;}" href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212852" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">enhances performance</a> for more graphics-intensive projects like editing 8K footage. Its larger chassis lends itself to better airflow and cooling, and it also trumps the 14-inch model in battery life. During intensive workloads, the 14-inch MacBook Pro lasted two hours on battery while the 16-inch reached three to four hours. With web browsing, we experienced about 12 hours on the bigger MacBook while the smaller model only hit about half that.</p><p class="paywall">If you're stuck on the exact combination to go with, we recommend the 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro chip for those who want a big display and more battery life. For intermediate content creators, the M2 Pro coupled with either size will suffice—the 14-inch MacBook Pro is similar in size to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, making it easier to travel with, but the 16-inch MacBook Pro might feel ginormous. We suggest you stay away from the 14-inch model with an M2 Max chip—the smaller battery coupled with the power-hungry processor won't result in the best battery life. </p><hr class="paywall"/><div

It has the same processor that's in the MacBook Air (our top pick) and doesn't offer any major hardware upgrades (except for the fact that it has a fan, which I'll get to in a second). It still comes with the same 13.3-inch display, a 720p webcam, and two Thunderbolt USB-C ports. One small change? There's support for high-impedance headphones in the audio jack, so you can get slightly more fidelity if you have a nice pair of corded headphones. </p><div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monitor-anchor"/><p class="paywall">What makes this machine unique from the MacBook Air is the fan, which allows the processor to get a little warmer and eke out more power over a longer period of time. This helps if you’re working on pro-level tasks like video editing but can’t spend the premium that Apple charges for its bigger Pro models. Other advantages include slightly longer battery life over the Air and a Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard (if that's your thing). It’s the only MacBook that Apple now sells with the Touch Bar. The laptop is slightly heavier (3 pounds versus 2.7 pounds), but it matches the Air’s size and is still slim. </p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--item

On busier work days, when I had about 20 tabs open on Google Chrome and a few apps running simultaneously in the background, it felt sluggish; there was some lag when switching between windows and tabs, and the rainbow wheel appeared a few times. I experienced some stuttering while editing a stream of 4K Pro Res files on Final Cut Pro—it particularly struggled with slight color adjustments and built-in effects. Editing photos on Pixelmator and Adobe Photoshop, on the other hand, felt a lot smoother. The MacBook Pro stuttered when I added some rotation, adjusted sliders, and made minor changes to color, but it still powered through a multitude of layers and effects without the fans kicking in. </p><p class="paywall">It’s not completely unusable for intensive tasks, but it’s likely not powerful enough for most power users.

It all depends on what you plan on using the MacBook for. </p><p class="paywall"><strong>M1</strong>: This is the base-level chip of the lineup. It has an eight-core CPU and up to an eight-core GPU with support for up to 16 GB of unified memory (RAM) at an extra cost. It’s much faster than any previous Intel-powered MacBook Pro, and it is the practical choice for most people. It packs more than enough processing power to get you through common day-to-day tasks—even light gaming— and it can handle more intense jobs like photo and video editing. Only the MacBook Air from 2020 uses this chipset.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--item grid-layout__aside"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYBuk jxBcTH sticky-box"><div

It has up to 10 cores in the CPU and up to a 16-core GPU, with up to 32 GB of unified memory. Apple says performance and graphics are both twice as fast as on the M1. We found it to be considerably more capable than the base chip, and it’s the ideal option for anyone who works heavily on MacBooks for music production or photo and video editing.</p><p class="paywall"><strong>M1 Max</strong>: Like the M1 Pro, the <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/apples-new-macbook-pro-chips-flex-power-custom-silicon/">M1 Max</a> has a 10-core CPU but a heftier 32-core GPU (with support for up to 64 GB of unified memory). Apple says it’s four times faster than the M1 in terms of graphics. As proven in testing, this chip is <em>extremely</em> powerful, as it handled every heavy-duty task with ease. It’s the clear choice if you need a computer that can handle multiple streams of 8K or 4K video footage, 3D rendering, or developing apps and running demos. You probably already know if you need this much power.</p><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset"><picture class="ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image"><noscript><img alt="Apple M1 Ultra CPU" class="ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image" src="https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg" srcset="https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_120,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 120w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_240,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 240w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_320,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 320w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_640,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 640w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_960,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 960w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_1280,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 1280w, https://media.wired.com/photos/6227a824c64b025679e0e8c4/master/w_1600,c_limit/Gear-Apple-M1-Ultra.jpg 1600w" sizes="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit">Photograph: Apple</span></div></figure><p class="paywall"><strong>M1 Ultra</strong>: The M1 Ultra is the second-most powerful of them all.

Even with the M2 Ultra now available, the M1 is plenty powerful and a great option for anyone who needs a heavy-duty processor for working with intense visuals and graphics.

It's a base-level chip like the M1, with slightly more processing power. It packs an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU (two more GPU cores than its predecessor), along with support for up to 24 GB of unified memory. Apple says the second-generation chip has an 18 percent faster CPU and a GPU that’s 35 percent more powerful. The M2 is great for daily tasks like word processing and web browsing, but tasks like editing multiple streams of 4K footage and 3D rendering should be reserved for the M1 Pro or M1 Max (or the next two chips).</p><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset"><picture class="ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image"><noscript><img alt="Apple M2 Pro and M2 Max chips on red backdrop" class="ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image" src="https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg" srcset="https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_120,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 120w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_240,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 240w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_320,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 320w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_640,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 640w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_960,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 960w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_1280,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 1280w, https://media.wired.com/photos/63d1a6ece86be50408c465b7/master/w_1600,c_limit/Apple-M2-Max-and-M2-Pro-Chips-Gear.jpg 1600w" sizes="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit">Photograph: Apple</span></div></figure><p class="paywall"><strong>M2 Pro:</strong> The M2 Pro is the next step up from the M2. It has up to 12 cores in the CPU and up to a 19-core GPU, with up to 32 GB of unified memory. Apple claims performance is up to 20 percent faster than the 10-core M1 Pro and graphics are 30 percent faster. We recommend this chip for intermediate video and photo editors. It's a marginal upgrade compared to the M1 Pro, but it's the best option for those who want a more future-proof processor.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-4 viewport-monitor-anchor"/><p class="paywall"><strong>M2 Max:</strong> This is the most powerful processor for the MacBook Pro. It packs up to a 12-core CPU and up to a 38-core GPU (with support for up to 96 GB of unified memory). According to Apple, graphics are 30 percent faster than the M1 Max. The M2 Max is an excellent choice for those who work with graphics-intensive content including graphic design, 3D modeling, and heavy-duty video footage. But as with the M2 Pro, it's an incremental upgrade if you're coming from an M1 Max. We recommend the M2 Max if you're still on an older Intel-powered Mac.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--item grid-layout__aside"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYBuk jxBcTH

above the keyboard as the <a href="https://www.wired.com/2016/11/apple-goes-part-time-on-touch/">next generation of user input</a>. This shift didn't pan out. There was little interest from third-party software designers in doing anything innovative with the tiny display. Most of Apple’s newest MacBooks do not have the Touch Bar anymore, a clear indicator that the company is moving away from it. The company only sells one MacBook with it now. </p><p class="paywall"><strong>Palmy trackpad</strong>: Apple's trackpads are among the best in the computer business, but with the newest MacBooks these input devices have been blown up to unbelievable proportions and crammed against the bottom edge of the keyboard, right where you rest your palms while typing. Although there’s supposed to be intelligent palm rejection software at work, the trackpads are susceptible to accidental input.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monitor="inline-recirc" class="inline-recirc-wrapper inline-recirc-observer-target-5 viewport-monitor-anchor"/><p class="paywall"><strong>Parched for ports</strong>: Aside from the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, the rest of Apple’s MacBooks feature one port type: USB-C (usually only two). It might not work with some of the devices you own. You’ll want to invest in <a href="https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-usb-hubs-and-docks/">a few adapters</a> if you plan on hooking your computer up to a projector or want to use things like USB drives and SD cards. </p><div role="heading" aria-level="3" class="paywall heading-h3">MacBooks to Avoid</div><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset"><picture class="ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image"><noscript><img alt="2017 macbook air" class="ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image" src="https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg" srcset="https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_120,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 120w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_240,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 240w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_320,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 320w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_640,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 640w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_960,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 960w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_1280,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 1280w, https://media.wired.com/photos/5c5e2243efd7aa546734e945/master/w_1600,c_limit/MacBook-Air-2017-Front-SOURCE-Apple.jpg 1600w" sizes="100vw"/></noscript></picture></span></div><div class="CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption"><span class="BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit">Photograph: Apple</span></div></figure><p class="paywall"><strong>Older MacBooks with butterfly keyboards (2015-2019)</strong>: Apple’s notorious first to third-generation “butterfly switch” keyboards are <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/macbook-pro-2020-keyboard/">gone from the entire current MacBook lineup</a>. And good riddance. Former WIRED editor Jeffrey Van Camp and senior writer Lauren Goode both had multiple issues with the 2017 Pro keyboard. If you’re buying an older-model MacBook, Apple does <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/apple-will-fix-broken-macbook-keyboards/">replace the keyboards for free</a> and did add <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/ifixit-teardown-new-macbook-pro-keyboard/">extra dust guards</a> to the late-2018 and early-2019 models. Apple has <a data-offer-url="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205662" class="external-link" data-event-click="{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205662&quot;}" href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205662" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">detailed instructions on how to clean the old keyboard</a> if yours gets flaky, which is a decent first line of defense against busted keys. Apple also <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/apple-macbook-pro-2019-speed-bump/">extended its keyboard repair program</a> to cover repairs on all Macs that have been purchased between 2015 and 2019, regardless of warranty status. Still, unless you’re getting it really cheap, we suggest sticking with the newer models that feature the much-better Magic Keyboard and the newer, more advanced processors.</p></div></div></div><div

debuted in 2008. Unfortunately, the MacBook Air <a href="https://www.wired.com/2013/06/apple-macbook-air-2013/">didn’t undergo many changes</a> until 2018. These older Airs rock a dowdy-looking, non-Retina screen and weak Intel chips that are years old. The old laptops might not require the dongles that a newer MacBook might, but the newer laptops will undoubtedly feel faster for longer. Don’t let their lower price tag tempt you—there are <a href="https://www.wired.com/gallery/best-laptops/">way better laptops</a> you can nab for that kind of cash. <em>How to spot it:</em> The older Air has a thick silver border (bezel) around its screen instead of the black glass of the new models.</p><p class="paywall"><strong>The old 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2019</strong>: This is a fine laptop that’s <a href="https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-pro-16-inch-2019/">not <em>too</em> old</a>, but its price makes no sense when compared to the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. You’re much better off sticking with the new M2 Pro or M2 Max-powered 16-inch MacBook. <em>How to spot it:</em> The product name usually includes “Intel.” </p><p class="paywall"><strong>2020 Intel-powered</strong> <a href="https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-air-2020/"><strong>MacBook Air</strong></a> <strong>and</strong> <a href="https://www.wired.com/review/macbook-pro-13-inch-2020/"><strong>MacBook Pro</strong></a><strong>:</strong> These models have been completely eclipsed by the late 2020 models with Apple's M-series chips, from performance to battery life. They’re only worth buying if you can snag them for well under $500. Anything close to $900 and you should just pay up for the MacBook Air with M1. It's superior.</p><div role="heading" aria-level="3" class="paywall heading-h3">Get AppleCare+</div><p class="paywall">None of Apple’s MacBooks are cheap, and replacement parts are nightmarishly expensive. Since the entire computer is fully integrated into Apple’s tightly designed aluminum chassis, you’re one coffee spill away from a shockingly large repair bill.
