Top 5 MacBooks worth spending money on in 2025

Decided you want a MacBook but can't decide between the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro? Here are some suggestions from Laptop Mag experts.

Apple's current laptop lineup includes the 13.6-inch and 15.3-inch MacBook Air; two versions of the MacBook Pro: 14.2-inch and 16.2-inch.

The MacBook Air line is powered by an M2 or M3 chip, while the MacBook Pro 14 and 16 are powered by an M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max chip. Only the MacBook Pro models offer the more powerful 'Pro' or 'Max' chip. The MacBook Pro 14 blurs that line with the standard M4 chip. There's nothing bad about Apple's current lineup, so whether you choose a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro, it's a no-brainer.
