MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Which model makes the most sense to buy in 2025?

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-07-21 15:12:55

MacBooks are great computers, but there’s a number of different varieties to think about. Between last gen hardware and all of the current models available now, it can feel like there’s a lot of options. Today, we’ll be breaking down which MacBook is right for you, depending on your budget and what you need it for. At the most basic level, Apple offers two MacBook models: the MacBook Air, and the MacBook Pro. Both come in smaller and larger sizes (13-inch and 15-inch for MacBook Air, 14-inch an

The M4 Mac Mini Offers the Best Value I've Seen From an Apple Product, and It's $60 Off

I bought the M4 Mac Mini after reading CNET laptop expert Joshua Goldman's review of the tiny machine. I was looking for a computer that would increase my productivity and better organize my workflow. Since then, I've found it to be the best value for money among Apple's lineup. For less than $600, you can get a more powerful computer than the $999 MacBook Air. The M4 Mac Mini, Apple's smallest computer, is an easy recommendation for me since it's one of CNET's picks for the best desktop comput

MacBook Air M4 in Sky Blue Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET When Apple announced the MacBook Air M4 earlier this year, it was clear that the laptop would be an incremental upgrade from last year's model, with the latest in Apple silicon and a host of software and AI-powered features. The fact that the 13-inch version was $100 less was a pleasant surprise, however, positioning it as a competitive choice in the current market.

Upgrading an M4 Pro Mac mini's storage for half the price

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-03 07:06:07

A few months ago, I upgraded my M4 Mac mini from 1 to 2 TB of internal storage, using a then-$269 DIY upgrade kit from ExpandMacMini. At the time, there was no option for upgrading the M4 Pro Mac mini, despite it also using a user-replaceable, socketed storage drive. But the folks at M4-SSD reached out and asked if I'd be willing to test out one of their new M4 Pro upgrades, in this case, upgrading the mini I use at the studio for editing from a stock 512 GB SSD to 4 TB. I said yes, and here

Best MacBooks (2025): Which Apple Laptop Should You Buy?

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-08-17 08:00:00

In 2020, Apple’s MacBooks entered a new era. The company announced it was moving away from the Intel chips it had been using since 2006; in their place, it rolled out the first Macs with the Apple-designed M1 silicon. Cut to 2025, and Apple’s MacBooks have been upgraded to the M4 chips and are easily the best laptops you can buy, whether that’s the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro.

Here’s why M4 MacBook Pro is one of the best upgrades you can make right now

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-08-25 00:57:45

Last October, Apple announced the M4 MacBook Pro. On the surface, it looks like yet another MacBook Pro spec bump. However, there are a number of key features that make it worth upgrading to, even if you already have an older 14″ MacBook Pro. Why M4? There’s recently been a pretty big flip in MacBook Pro pricing, which gradually took place over the past year or so: First, Apple introduced a new entry-level MacBook Pro at $1599 in 2023 with baseline M3 Then, it upped the base memory to 16GB a

For the longest time, I had believed that purchasing a new iPad at full price never made any sort of sense. Ultimately, you’re paying more than an equivalently spec’d MacBook, for less capability. It always felt like iPadOS was the key limiting factor for the iPad, not the hardware. However, I’ve now owned an M4 iPad Pro for nearly a year, and I can confidently say it’s changed how I feel towards iPads. And that’s before factoring in all of the great new features in iPadOS 26.
