The standard MacBook Air is a great computer for anyone who doesn’t do heavy-duty tasks regularly. And you rarely see it drop below $1000, where the baseline model resides today. These machines come with dual-core eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processors, 8GB RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics 617. You have a choice between a speedy 128GB SSD or a 256GB one.

If you need a little more power than the Air can provide, you’ll want to step up to a MacBook Pro. These machines come with eighth-generation 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processors and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655. They sport 8GB RAM and super-speedy SSDs. They also have four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports, the handy Touch Bar, and TouchID scanners to use in place of clunky passwords. The only choice you have to make is how much storage you want the SSD to have.

The newest addition to the MacBook Pro family is the 16-inch model. These beastly machines feature ninth-generation Intel Core processors with up to eight cores, 16GB RAM, and AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics. The other big selling point here is that the 16-inch Pro’s keyboard runs on an updated scissor mechanism that offers more travel and (probably) better reliability. I use “probably” there just because they haven’t been on the market as long as the previous butterfly mechanism keyboards.
Any way you slice it, the 16-inch MBP is a beast, and it’s price reflects that. But you’ll save up to $300 by buying from Amazon right now instead of Apple. Might as well, yeah?
