MacBooks are popular, but expensive, so it’s not always wise to buy the latest model. We list the best recommendations of the moment.

Best tested: MacBook Air 2020 M1
The latest MacBook Pro with M2 processor is faster, but also a lot more expensive. That is why the MacBook Air with M1 chip will remain the best MacBook for general use in 2022 in our opinion.
It is a laptop for users who would like a MacBook, but do not place too high demands on the hardware. The device only has 8 GB of memory and a rather small 256 GB SSD, but that won’t be a big problem for many people.
The screen is – as we often see at Apple – great and the operating system MacOS also works exactly as we want. The battery life is surprisingly long. You can browse web for 14 hours on a full charge.
This version has dropped significantly in price compared to Apple’s suggested retail price of 1,130 euros and is also available in silver and gold in addition to gray.
A newer alternative: MacBook Pro 14 inch
The 14-inch MacBook Pro has a better screen and more connection ports. The screen uses so-called mini LEDs, so that HDR videos are beautifully displayed. The processor is also better, making it faster in the graphics area.
The battery life is equal to the above Air at fourteen hours, but less than with previous MacBook Pros that tapped nineteen hours. Although we are discussing the basic model here, there are more expensive, more luxurious versions of the MacBook Pro to choose from. This allows you to choose hardware that is just as fast as the fastest Windows laptops.
For those who want a large screen: MacBook Pro 16 inch
<!–]†The 16-inch MacBook Pro has the same advantages as the 14-inch MacBook Pro above. It’s significantly faster than the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. It has a better screen with mini LED and also more connection ports.
The screen is larger, namely 16 inches, and precisely because the screen quality is very good, that is the biggest plus about this variant. The image sometimes reacts a bit slow, but you won’t notice that very much in normal use. The battery life of thirteen hours is not as long as we expected. However, a good 1080p webcam has been added and the sound is very good, although both also apply to the smaller 14-inch version.
