An Apple® MacBook® is known for its intuitive interface and sleek design, making it a perfect choice for many users. Once you decide to purchase one, you’ll need to narrow it down to either a MacBook Pro® or MacBook Air®. Both options use the same operating system, but they serve specific needs and have slightly different hardware. Here's what you should know about each option before purchasing a refurbished MacBook.

MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro is available in a variety of sizes, including 13, 14, and 16 inches. This offers flexibility for people who seek a high-performance laptop but need something that’s light and portable. No matter the size, it’s a solid choice for design professionals and students. The MacBook Pro also offers a crisp, clear display, showcasing rich colors and intricate details. 

The Pro version also offers 256GB to 8TB of storage, with memory ranging from 8GB to 64GB. The 14- and 16-inch models also feature high-fidelity sound systems with six speakers each, plus an improved three-microphone array designed to reduce hissing and produce richer bass tones. This can prove useful if you’re using the laptop for video calls or recording. Some models are made with Apple M1 Max or M1 Pro chips, which enhance performance and make activities like video editing smoother—without putting a strain on the battery.  

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air is essentially an “entry level” option. It’s lightweight and available in a single 13-inch size. This makes it ideal for handling most basic activities with ease, such as web browsing and video playback. It's the best option for students and professionals who are consistently on the go and don’t require a heavy-duty laptop. Additionally, it also has an Apple M1 chip, offering faster performance and extending battery life.

For storage, options range from 256GB to 2TB, with memory capping out at 16GB. The model features a stereo speaker system, so it can be used for streaming television, listening to music, and making video calls.
