PREMIUM LAPTOPS
APPLE MACBOOK PRO 14IN
STUNNING CREATIVE POWER
Alongside its 16-inch sibling, this is simply the world’s best laptop for demanding users. The amount of power on tap via the M1 Pro or M1 Max processor is staggering, and it’s backed up by a terrific screen and stunning battery life. With all the ports you could ask for, the only negatives are its relative bulk (especially compared to the Air) and high price.

APPLE MACBOOK AIR
