The best MacBook’s you can buy right now are all here — so you can figure out which is best for you.
The best MacBook for you is a tricky thing to figure out. Not only does Apple have 2021’s MacBook Pros sporting the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, but it also has two brand-new MacBook’s packing the Apple M2 chip. On top of that, MacBook’s with the M1 chip are always possible machines.
Once you take a closer look at the best MacBook’s, you can see that one size doesn’t fit all. There are specific bases why you should opt for the M1-powered MacBook Air and entry-level MacBook Pro M1, or spend more on the 14- and 16-inch systems, where you have a choice between the M1 Pro and M1 Max.
And now that Apple has released a new 13-inch MacBook Pro 2022 and MacBook Air 2022, we have some new Apple laptops powered by the M2 chip competing for a spot on this list. Also, make sure to check out the best MacBook’s for college students if you or someone you love is headed to school!
It seems likely that if the much-rumored new MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips launch this year, they’ll do so during the Apple October event. With November right around the corner, we’re already rounding up the best Black Friday deals, but we expect the Amazon Early Access sale to bring big price drops on MacBook’s shortly.
What’s the best MacBook right now?
Apple’s M1-equipped ₹82,452 INR MacBook Air has long held the top spot on this list, but it has just been dethroned by its beneficiary, the MacBook Air M2 (2022). This new laptop is more costly, but it packs considerable power over the previous model. Not only that, but it also features a unique design that’s akin to 2021’s MacBook Pro.
With that said, the MacBook Air with M1 is still a solid machine. The Apple M1 chip makes it faster than we ever expected the Air to get, and its power efficiency enables much longer battery life, lasting over 14 hours on a charge.
The ₹1,07,512 INR MacBook Pro M1 is a bit more robust and lasts even longer on a charge. However, the new MacBook Pro 2022 demolishes it in terms of performance and battery life — the latter of which is the most extended of any laptop on the market.
But if you want more power, consider upgrading to the 2021 MacBook Pro. Available in either 14-inch (₹1,65,384 INR) or 16-inch (₹2,06,751 INR) versions, these hardy MacBook’s deliver unprecedented power with remarkable power efficiency thanks to Apple’s new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. They’re the best MacBook Pros Apple has released in years, and a good investment if you can afford the asking prices.
