What MacBook to buy? It is the big question that many users ask themselves after the renewal of the new MacBook Pro and Mac mini and we cannot leave out the new MacBook Air with its midnight color. In this post we are going to analyze which MacBook is the most interesting option to acquire at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.

Regarding the Air range, we find the MacBook Air with M1 chip, which is the cheapest MacBook and is around 1,000 euros. It is a very powerful device, with great efficiency and gives you up to a total of 18 hours of autonomy.
The MacBook Air M2 presents a new design, a new chip that provides greater energy efficiency, more autonomy and power, with a much higher price. So users have to assess whether it is worth a cheaper and more powerful device or a device with a new design and updated components.
The PRO range of 14 and 16 inches
This range provides a quantitative and qualitative leap in terms of performance, regardless of whether you choose the 14-inch model or the 16-inch model, since the screen is superior to the aforementioned models, with a Mini Led screen, the incorporation of the chips M2 Pro and M2 Pro Max. In addition, it is a team that includes input ports beyond the well-known Thunderbolt ones such as the HDMI connector, SD card reader, MagSafe charger and obviously, the inputs for UBS-C.
The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, from an internal point of view, the team starts with greater storage capacity and more RAM memory, so, in value for money there is no doubt that it is one of the teams most balanced in Apple‘s history. The 16-inch MacBook Pro repeats the same formula as the 14-inch MacBook Pro, but with a larger screen and slightly more performance.
Mac mini M2
The product that has broken into this 2023 with the most force is the Mac mini M2, which can mount the M2 Pro chip and up to 32 GB of RAM. In addition, even its price is lower than the previous generation, being one of the products that Apple will give the best results at the sales level.
Regarding its design, it is the same design that had Intel processors, so it is a device with a large number of ports, ergonomics and weight of the device correctly. In short, it is an outstanding team because you will not have problems when using external peripherals.
What is the best option to buy at the end of 2023?
Unfortunately, not everything is black or white, since there is a large scale of grays and it is the user himself who has to determine what use he gives him on a day-to-day basis and which device is the one that most closely resembles his capabilities. and needs. If you are a user who needs a lot of portability and generic use, the MacBook Air is an ideal device because you will have a very powerful, portable device with great autonomy.
If you need more power, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro options are very interesting options, and above all, both market segments can be connected to an external monitor.
