Which Laptop is Right for Me?

It’s 2022, and there are tons of MacBook options out there for you to choose from. How do you narrow it dow? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to make the decision that is right for you!

There are three major options to consider: the Apple MacBook Air M2, MacBook Air M1, and MacBook Pro 14-Inch and 16-Inch.

Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Size: 13.3 inches

Price: Starts at $999

Best Feature: This is the most affordable of all the Apple laptops! For the average person, it provides a high quality experience: “deliver[ing] crazy-fast performance, so much so that it can run serious games smoothly.” 

Honorable Mention: The MacBook Air M1 also runs programs that were created for PCs, and many applications like Adobe Lightroom and Google Chrome now also have versions compatible with the Air M1, meaning you should have everything you need right at your fingertips.

Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Size: 13.6 inches

Price: Starts at $1,199

Best Feature: This is Apple’s thinnest and lightest model yet! At only 0.44” thin and 2.7 lbs, it takes portability to a whole new level.

Honorable Mention: This laptop’s updated technology is “the ideal option for those whose graphics-intensive workloads, like video editing, don't quite warrant a beefy chip” like that of the MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch, “but are a bit too heavy-duty for the [Apple MacBook Air] M1.” This strikes a great balance for anyone looking for just a little boost in performance capability!

Apple MacBook Pro (2021)

Size: 14 inches or 16 inches

Price: Starts at $1,999

Best Feature: This is the laptop for you if you require high processing capabilities; for example, if you often edit 4k video, render 3D models, or produce music. These laptops were built to deliver major power!

Honorable Mention: The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max has unique access to a “High Power Mode” which allows for even more graphic-intensive projects such as editing 8k footage, and has better cooling mechanisms to keep your laptop cool while doing so.
