Over the past two years, Apple has completed an overhaul of its entire laptop lineup. For those who were hesitant to upgrade their older MacBooks, this means it’s a great time to jump in.
But which MacBook is the best one to get? It depends a lot on your specific use case, and that’s what we explore here today.
Buying guides usually choose diamonds from the rough. “Rough” refers to hundreds of substandard products. But if you’re recommending a MacBook, it’s a simpler matter. There aren’t that many to choose from. However, they are usually not upgradeable, so you have to make some important choices before you buy them.
So, rather than just highlighting the best MacBooks to buy for specific uses, we’ll also cover configurations and other detailed concerns to consider when ordering a machine.
