Compare all Apple MacBook models

The new MacBook Pro has a sturdy design and is available in 2 sizes: 14 and 16 inches. The design hasn't been changed much compared to its predecessor with M3. The 14-inch model still weighs 1.61kg and the 16-inch model 2.15kg. The color Space Gray disappears. It's been replaced by Space Black. The MacBook Pro also has a special coating, so you see less fingerprints.

The MacBook Air M3 is available in a 13 and 15-inch size. Both models don't weigh much and are ideal for on the go. The MacBook Air 13 inches weighs 1.24kg and the MacBook Air 15 inches 1,51kg. The MacBook Air also has a notch, so you can enjoy more screen space. You can choose from the colors Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Space Gray. Just like the MacBook Pro, it has an anti-fingerprint coating.

The MacBook Air M2 is the predecessor of the MacBook Air M3 and looks mostly the same. Compared to the M3, this MacBook Air is only available in 13 inches. The weight is the same: 1.24kg. This model was the first MacBook Air in the colors Midnight, Starlight, Silver, and Space Gray. It doesn't have a special coating, so you see more fingerprints on the Midnight model if you use it intensely.

The MacBook Pro is the most powerful MacBook. That's because of the powerful M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. These processors have more graphic cores, so no task is too demanding. This way, you can edit 8K videos and 3D files, and play your games. These chips also have ray tracing, so everything renders faster. For smooth multitasking, connect up to 4 extra monitors.

The MacBook Air M3 is faster than the MacBook Air M2 chip but has the same energy consumption. That's because of the new 3nm technology. The MacBook Air M3 (2024) also uses WiFi 6E, so your internet connection is twice as fast as with WiFi 6. Do you like to work on multiple monitors at the same time? Connect up to 2 external monitors to a closed MacBook.

The MacBook Air M2 is a little older, but it's still a fast, great laptop. M2 is powerful enough for light photo and video editing. You can also easily connect an extra monitor, so you can keep a better overview. You don't have to worry about when to charge it, because a fully charged MacBook Air lasts up to 18 hours on 1 battery charge.

The MacBook Pro is the only MacBook with a 1600-nit Liquid Retina XDR screen. XDR is short for Extreme Dynamic Range. This means that you can see much more details in shadows and colors. Because this is a ProMotion screen, the screen adjusts to the task you're doing at that moment. The highest refresh rate of this screen is 120Hz, but it's often lower.

The MacBook Air has a Liquid Retina display with a maximum 500-nit brightness and supports up to a billion colors. Thanks to this, the image is bright and sharp. This is especially useful in bright environments. This way, you can also enjoy your favorite series when you're sitting in the garden in the summer. The MacBook Air doesn't have a ProMotion display, so the image is less smooth than with the MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Pro has more ports than the MacBook Air. You can charge your MacBook with the MagSafe port. This is the upper port on the left of your MacBook. It has no less than 3 USB-C ports and an SDXE card slot. With this, you can easily and quickly transfer photos and videos. You can even connect your MacBook to a television with the HDMI port. Do you still have wired headphones? Use the mini jack connector. You do need a docking station for an Ethernet connection.

The design of a MacBook Air (2022) and MacBook Air (2024) is the same. Due to the sleek design, there's less space for ports than with the MacBook Pro. There's a MagSafe connector on the left side, just like with the MacBook Pro. Below this connector, you can find 2 USB-C ports. There's also a mini jack connector at the right side of this MacBook. With this, you can connect audio devices with a cable. Do you want to connect more peripherals? You need a docking station.
