It may not have actually started in a garage, but the Mac still put Apple on the map. With so many iconic designs and influential ad campaigns over the years, the Mac has become one of the world's most versatile computers. And the power of MacOS 14 Sonoma -- and soon, MacOS 15 -- will keep your creative energy going. Plus, with Apple now making its chips, we've only scratched the surface of how powerful and efficient the Mac can be. The 2024 MacBook Air M3 is a perfect example.
The Laptop Line-up
Portable power crossed with beauty and elegance defines the MacBook lineup. Here's the current roster from Apple:
MacBook Air (M3, 2024): A performance bump from the M3 chip makes it the perfect MacBook.
14-inch MacBook Pro (2023): The power of Apple's M2 Pro silicon, a stunning XDR display, and timeless design.
16-inch MacBook Pro (2023): With the M2 Max chip, it's Apple's most powerful MacBook ever.
The Desktop line-up
Performance, packaged up for your desktop or studio. Apple's offerings range from the all-in-one iMac to the sheer torque of the Mac Studio. What's your Mac?
24-inch iMac (2023): Spec bump from the M3 chip makes the iMac sing.
Mac Studio (2023): A best-in-class computer with the powerful M2 chip. It's in a world all its own.
