How to pick the right MacBook
There are a lot of MacBook laptops available, and you can generally buy one that fits your budget and be happy. They're all excellent machines that will do just about everything you want from them. As you get into MacBook models with high-performance processors, like the M3 Pro and M3 Max, it'll do everything you want, but faster and better.
Generally, the best Apple laptop for the proverbial "most people" is the 13-inch MacBook Air running the M3 processor. If you like larger displays without spending MacBook Pro money, there's also a 15-inch model of the M3 MacBook Air.
If you're looking for the ultimate value, Apple still sells the M2 MacBook Air, which introduced the series' long-overdue design refresh. Despite running an older M2 processor, it's still incredibly capable — more so than many may realize.
Creative professionals who edit videos and do other visually intensive work will greatly benefit from the M3 Pro and M3 Max processors in the MacBook Pro series, not only for the extra processing but also for extra RAM and storage. These are significantly more expensive than the MacBook Air series, but they're worthwhile expenditures when serious heavy-duty workloads are part of your day-to-day. Larger MacBook Pros with 16-inch displays are also available, starting with the M3 Pro processor.
