All modern MacBooks Apple sells come with an Apple M1, M1 Pro, or M1 Max chip. These Macs get long battery life, run cool and quiet, and are still incredibly speedy. They have great build quality, excellent support from Apple, and are generally just great laptops.<\/p>\n<p>MacBooks run Apple\u2019s macOS instead of Windows. A lot of applications support Macs, including productivity mainstays like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. However, if you\u2019re considering switching from PC to Mac, it\u2019s worth checking whether the software you need will work on a Mac before getting one. For example, most PC <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s only run on Windows and won\u2019t work on a Mac, even if you get a MacBook with powerful graphics hardware.<\/p>\n<p>These\u00a0Apple Silicon-based Macs can still run older software written for Intel Macs. However, they will perform better when running software that has been optimized for M1 Macs. At the end of 2021, lots of popular third-party applications have native support for Apple Silicon, including Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and Google Chrome. You can even install iPhone and iPad apps on an M1 Mac!<\/p>\n<p>If you have an Intel Mac, it will still perform well and continue to work for years to come, but we don\u2019t recommend buying into a processor architecture that\u2019s on the way out. You may still find some remaining Intel-based MacBooks for sale on some third-party stores, but we highly recommend getting a modern MacBook with Apple Silicon.<\/p>\n<p>There are many benefits to the new Apple M1 chip architecture beyond big performance gains in optimized software. These include vastly improved power and heat efficiency for longer battery life and a cooler lap, fast unified RAM, and integrated GPU cores that outpace any Intel-based graphics solution.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that Apple Silicon-based MacBooks don\u2019t support Boot Camp. You can\u2019t install Windows on an M1 MacBook. (However, you can\u2019t install Windows 11 on an Intel MacBook without a workaround, either.) You can, however, use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3607085\/type\/am\/sid\/736871\/https:\/\/www.parallels.com\/\">Parallels for Mac<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.codeweavers.com\/crossover?ad=690\">CodeWeavers Crossover<\/a> to run Windows software on an M1 Mac.

Apple has slowly walked back its Thunderbolt-only stance and brought back MagSafe connectors for power to keep your laptop from flying off of a table when someone <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s over the power cable.<\/p>\n<p>The company has also added an HDMI port and an SD card slot for good measure. The much-maligned TouchBar and replaced it with more standard function keys, but you still get a TouchID sensor.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the 8\u2011Core CPU\/GPU M1 in the 13-inch model, the M1 Pro chip in the 14-inch MacBook Pro features an 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU. This model also starts at 16GB of unified memory, meaning it\u2019s much more future-proof than the smaller MacBook.<\/p>\n<p>The 14-inch MacBook Pro also benefits from the Liquid Retina XDR display. Not only does this display look fantastic, but it\u2019s especially useful if you edit HDR video.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for slightly more power, you can upgrade to a 10-core CPU, 14-core GPU M1 Pro chip for $200, or a 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU M1 Pro for $300. Storage starts at 512GB, but you can upgrade to as much as 8TB of SSD storage, but it will cost you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nBest MacBook Overall<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JQSLL92?tag=htg044-20&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/3187i1nSVTL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)\" aria-label=\"Shop for MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JQSLL92?tag=htg044-20&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MacBook_Pro_14-inch_M1_Pro_2021\"><\/span>MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">Apple Silicon is here to stay, and looking at the performance, that seems to be a good thing.

The MacBook Air retains its iconic wedge-shaped form factor, but now it\u2019s completely silent on account of not having a fan inside it.<\/p>\n<p>The base M1 MacBook Air has the same 8 CPU cores found on higher-end models but only 7 GPU cores. This is a great way of saving money if you don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be using visually demanding applications like video editors or games.\u00a0You can opt for a version of the MacBook Air with an 8-core GPU at checkout for an additional $250 if you don\u2019t want to sacrifice graphics performance.<\/p>\n<p>Not having a fan means that the MacBook Air can\u2019t run under load for as long as the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08N5N6RSS\/?tag=htg044-20\">MacBook Pro<\/a> before thermal throttling sets in. Granted, if you\u2019re looking for a budget laptop, you\u2019re probably only looking for light productivity and web browsing, so this isn\u2019t a huge concern.<\/p>\n<p>The MacBook Air still has stellar battery life, with Apple rating it for 18 hours on a single charge. The 13.3-inch Retina display covers the full P3 wide color gamut, though it doesn\u2019t get quite as bright as the MacBook Pro and there\u2019s no Touch Bar above the keyboard. Touch ID is present and allows you to log in or authorize changes and payments using your fingerprint. It\u2019s not the most accurate, but for MacBooks it\u2019s a nice addition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Run Your Retina Display at its Native Resolution<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nBest Budget Option<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08N5LNQCX?tag=htg044-20&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/316ArzLeJ2L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-add\">\n<div class=\"product-add-button\">\n<div class=\"product-share-links\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for 2020 Apple MacBook Air Laptop: Apple M1 Chip, 13\u201d Retina Display, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, Backlit Keyboard, FaceTime HD Camera, Touch ID.

For every article claiming that the new laptops were reclaiming the \u201cPro\u201d in the MacBook Pro name, there was another claiming that these models still aren\u2019t for gaming.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that Apple doesn\u2019t sell new Mac laptops with Intel chipsets anymore. The future, as far as Apple sees it, is in its own chips. On one hand, this means you can\u2019t buy a new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-MacBook-16-Inch-Storage-2-3GHz\/dp\/B081FV1Y57?tag=htg044-20\">Intel MacBook Pro<\/a> and install Windows, but on the other hand this could free up developers to focus on games designed for Apple\u2019s chipsets.<\/p>\n<p>Developers have been making games for Apple Silicon in the form of iPhone and iPad games for years. This means that even if your favorite big-name developer isn\u2019t shipping a Mac game this year, there\u2019s a likelihood that we\u2019ll start seeing more games taking advantage of Apple\u2019s M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, making this a worthwhile upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>As far as specs go, the M1 Pro-powered 16-inch MacBook Pro will handle anything you can throw at it, with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, plus 16 GB RAM. A 512GB SSD is included at the $2,499 price, but you can upgrade to 1TB for $200. If you\u2019re also a creative professional or you crave all the power you can get, you might want to upgrade to the M1 Max version for another $200.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nBest MacBook for Gaming<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JQMW44C?tag=htg044-20&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31zUXtO55tL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)\" aria-label=\"Shop for MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09JQMW44C?tag=htg044-20&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MacBook_Pro_16-inch_M1_Pro_2021\"><\/span>MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro, 2021)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">The M1 Pro-powered 16-inch MacBook Pro is one of the most powerful laptops that you can buy right now, period.
