From the new 13-inch MacBook Air and super-light 12-inch MacBook to the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros with the Touch Bar, Apple’s laptop lineup has never had more variety. But as a shopper, it can be tough to decide which notebook to get.
That’s where we come in. We’ll help you decide which MacBook is worth your money by comparing price, features, performance, battery life and more. Here’s the pros and cons of each model.

5% should buy the 15″ MBP; 10% should buy the 13″.
Nobody should buy the shitty second gen butterfly keyboard MB and non-touchbar MBP.
And as much as I love the old 13″ MBA, nobody should buy that one anymore either (if the new MBA is too expensive, go secondhand).
Exactly this. And if you need a physical Escape key, definitely the MBA.
I really am excited it has both touch ID and a physical Escape key. (I want face ID, but that’s at least one year away.)
That $1200-1300 price point is a hot mess.

(I’ve owned multiple Mac laptops. I have a Surface now. Because touchscreens are not optional.
The iPad trained me to want to poke OK dialogs to dismiss them. I wanted to do that on my second-generation Air. Not being able to annoys me.
No, it doesn’t require any changes to OSX, at all. No UI changes. No “make it a tablet OS!”. No “half iOS. half OSX”. No “tablet mode”.
Just. Put. A. Damn. Touch. Sensor. On. It.)
