Are you having trouble keeping up with Apple’s generational processor developments? The original Apple silicon, the M1 processor, arrived in late 2020. Since then we’ve had the M2 (2022), the M3 (2023) and now the M4 (2024). Each of these comes in regular, Pro and Max versions – the Pro and Max version are more powerful and support larger amounts of RAM. Not all of the computers in the Apple range get the latest processors at the same time, and the Pro and Max versions are often phased in later too.
As a result, while Apple certainly makes some of the best laptops you can buy, it’s not always easy to figure out which is the best Macbook to get at any one time, and it can sometimes look as if whatever you choose will be out of date within a year anyway. Not helpful.
