The 120Hz ProMotion refresh rates on the Liquid Retina displays keep them super snappy and smooth in use, and the colors pop like nothing you’ll have seen on a laptop before. Whatever screen you opt for, you’re going to get a monster. The 16-inch MacBook Pro comes with a slightly higher base configuration, but beyond that, the upgrades are much the same. These machines are powered by the super-charged M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, giving them incredible amounts of processing power and making mincemeat of pretty much every other laptop ‘for professionals’ out there. The most powerful MacBooks available are easily the best for a professional looking for a portable powerhouse.

That price makes it one of the less expensive Macs as well, and puts it firmly as the best Mac for almost everyone. If you want to spec your machine up to something a little more potent, then you’ll have to pay a little extra on top of that price as well, although certain options like extra RAM are worth the outlay. It starts at prices a little more expensive than the older model, coming in at $1199 for the base model. Storage-wise, you can choose up to a 2TB SSD, which is plenty, and it’ll last you a good long time with up to 18 hours depending on how you use the MacBook.

There are RAM options up to 24GB, which is plenty for anyone, although the base model with its 8GB feels a step behind current RAM requirements. It’s cooled without a fan as well, so it is utterly silent in operation – although you’ll lose a little bit of performance over the actively cooled MacBook Pro 13-inch that comes with the same chip. The M2 brought a massive boost of power to the MacBook Air, making it a true portable powerhouse.

Inside the MacBook Air M2 is, obviously, that M2 chip.
