13-inch MacBook Air (M1, 256GB) — $800, was $999
The Apple MacBook Air M2 is already available, but the Apple MacBook Air M1 remains a worthwhile purchase as an entry-level MacBook with a 256GB SSD for storage. It still promises smooth performance from the M1 chip with an eight-core CPU and 8GB of RAM, and you’ll enjoy vivid colors and sharp details on the MacBook Air’s 13.3-inch Retina display. The machine packs a battery that can run up to 18 hours on a single charge, and because of the thermal efficiency created by the M1 chip, it doesn’t need fans for cooling, which means it doesn’t make any noise even when dealing with demanding tasks.
14-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 512GB) — $1899, was $1999
The Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro will be able to keep up with heavy workloads with its 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, plus 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The laptop also features a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with Extreme Dynamic Range, up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, and an all-aluminum unibody that promises exceptional durability. The Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro also has no shortage of ports — it’s got a MagSafe charging port, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SDXC card slot, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack — and it’s protected by Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint recognition system.
16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 512GB SSD) — $2299, was $2499
This version of the Apple MacBook Pro M2 Pro comes with a larger 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, which is important when you’re working on projects that require a lot of screen real estate. However, it also bumps up performance with a 12-core CPU and 19-core GPU accompanying the M2 Pro chip and 16GB of RAM, which will be helpful when you’ll be regularly dealing with graphics and videos. Battery life is also longer at up to 22 hours, but mostly everything else remains the same as the 14.2-inch model, including the lineup of ports and Touch ID.

With that kind of performance, demanding tasks such as editing videos on its 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display will be a breeze. It’s got a battery life of up to 18 hours, and the same ports and Touch ID as the M2 Pro-powered models.
16-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Max, 1TB SSD) — $3299, was $3499
