For those users who prefer other operating systems, we recommend paying attention to touchscreen laptops. Gamers will definitely appreciate one of the models of gaming laptops. We also advise you one of the laptop backpacks or laptop bags for convenient transportation of your digital gadgets.
What Features to Compare
Type
When choosing a MacBook, you should pay attention to the models available. Currently, the product range is presented by 3 main models, such as MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. If you often have to take a laptop with you, then it's better to choose the MacBook Air model which is compact and lightweight, but with a high battery life. If you are interested in a high-performing Apple laptop that has an impressive hardware, it's worth paying attention to the MacBook Pro. However, if you are looking for the golden mean, you should take a close look at MacBook models which combine high performance, thin casing, and amazing design.
Performance
When choosing any MacBook, you shouldn't forget about such a feature as the performance. It's worth mentioning that all the Apple models have high-performing CPUs designed by Intel. Powerful CPUs such as Core i5 and Core i7 allow coping with any tasks that your MacBook faces. Furthermore, due to the fact that all up-to-date models are equipped with a solid state drive, their response speed is awesome, so you can launch applications immediately and switching between the tasks is fast and smooth. Besides, the RAM capacity also influences the overall laptop performance. The majority of modern MacBooks have at least 4 GB of RAM.
Image Quality
Another important feature is the image quality. The screen resolution influences the image quality, so the models with a higher resolution display images more accurately. If you mainly do paperwork or surf the Internet, then the laptops with the resolution of 1366x768 pixels will suit you perfectly. If you plan to use a MacBook to view photos and Full HD videos, you need to choose a model with the resolution of at least 1440x900 pixels. However, if you want to use a laptop to work with graphic editors or process multimedia files, it's better to choose a MacBook with the resolution of at least 1920x1080 pixels. It's worth mentioning that the most functional models are fitted with Retina displays, which have a very high pixel density, providing the stunning resolution of 2304x1440 pixels.
Battery Life
One more extremely important feature is the battery life of every MacBook. The majority of modern laptops can provide you with 5-6 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Since MacBooks come with cutting-edge energy-efficient processors and SSD drives, they have a high-capacity battery inside which can provide a long-term autonomous operation. If you often go on a trip, you can choose one of MacBook Air models, which will provide you with up to 9-12 hours of operation on a single charge. And if you choose one of MacBook Pro models, you will enjoy your favourite films from 10 to 12 hours.
Usability
Regarding the usability, the size of a laptop is another essential feature. The more compact the model is, the more convenient it is to take a laptop with you. However, compact models lack performance. Also, it's important to note that these models have a pre-installed operating system. Moreover, all MacBook models are equipped with OS X system optimised in accordance with technical specifications. Mac OS comes with some pre-installed software application packages which help you use your MacBook for all kinds of tasks. Furthermore, you have an opportunity to connect various peripheral devices to your Apple laptop. Although today, thanks to wireless technology, many manufacturers remove some ports from the computer casing in favour of cloud services and synchronisation via the Internet, thereby reducing the laptop size.
