Whether you’re picking up a new computer for work or heading off to college, a MacBook^® will be a good choice. You have both the MacBook Air^® and MacBook Pro^® models to choose from. Each has its advantages, and regardless of if you’re buying a new or used MacBook, you want to be confident you purchase something that meets all of your needs. Here are a few of the details that make these products unique.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air is a favorite laptop for people on the go. At just 2.75 lbs. and measuring 13 inches long, it fits easily into any carry-on bag or backpack and won’t weigh you down throughout the day. It has plenty of computing power, housing a 1.6 GHz processor and 8 GB of random access memory (RAM). It also has 128 GB of built-in storage to save working files and general media, and the two Thunderbolt^™ ports allow you to connect an external hard drive, USB mouse, and other accessories. It’s ideal if you travel for work and need general office services or are purchasing an entry-level new or used MacBook for college.

MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro series has several versions. The entry-level option is similar to the MacBook Air but is slightly heavier at 3 lbs. The premium version upgrades to a 2.4 GHz processor and 256 GB of storage, making it perfect for handling larger media working files and intensive work needs. There’s another version with 16 GB of RAM and a superior graphics card—ideal for video editing or graphic design. It weighs in at 4 lbs., however, which is why it’s often used in the office or at home.
