The MacBook Pro is a thicker and heavier machine than the MacBook Air. It's also worth noting that, despite looking very similar, the smallest MacBook Pro (the 14-inch model) has a slightly bigger screen and is a slightly bigger machine than the MacBook Air. One of the most obvious differences is that the newest MacBook Pro is available in two sizes (it offers 14-inch or 16-inch models), while the newest MacBook Air is only available in a single 13.6-inch model. While both are great laptops that are also more affordable options, we've opted to exclude them because they wear the less-hip design of Apple's older laptops. Apple also sells a 13-inch MacBook Air with an older M1 chip. Note: Apple still sells a 13-inch MacBook Pro with the exact same M2 chip that's in the most current M2 MacBook Air. So, do you go with the new MacBook Air? Or do you dish out the extra dough for the new MacBook Pro? We put both of Apple's latest new laptops to the test to see how they measure ip. Most importantly, both are decked out with Apple's second-generation silicon, so they're really fast, powerful and efficient, so in addition to great performance you also get really good battery life. They also have better speakers, a better webcam, faster charging capabilities and a new MagSafe charging port. They feature a larger and more edge-to-edge display (with a notch).

Both these laptops sport Apple's fresh new look for its laptops.

You've narrowed it down to the newest MacBook Air (with an M2 chip) and the newest MacBook Pro (with an M2 Pro or M2 Max chip).
