There’s a reason almost every computer reviewed by Mashable’s tech team gets compared to Apple’s MacBooks: They’re the closest thing we have to a gold standard of laptops.

If you need a new computer (or you’re looking to upgrade an existing device), you can’t go wrong with 2019’s Macbook Air or MacBook Pros, Tim Cook’s newest additions to the MacBook family.

A power user’s dream, the new Macbook Pros offer some of Apple’s best-ever graphics, Touch Bars with Touch ID, speedy processors suitable for gaming and video editing, and improved (but still butterfly, except on the 16-inch) keyboards. 

You’ve got two different versions to choose from: There’s a 13-inch MacBook Pro from last May that comes with either a 1.4GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 or 655, respectively; and a 16-inch MacBook Pro from November that features a 3,072×1,920 display, six built-in speakers, AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics, an improved thermal design, and a snazzy mic setup with a 40% hiss reduction.

Choose from the following configurations:

Last summer’s refresh of the 13-inch MacBook Air didn’t make too many drastic changes to the ultrathin, ultralight laptop — the 2018 model had the exact same 1.6HG Intel Core i5 processor and Intel UHD Graphics 617 — but its quieter keyboard, Touch ID sensor, dual Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, and bright, True Tone-supporting Retina display were welcome additions. If you need a super portable computer that reaches its greatest potential when tasked with everyday computing duties (see: web browsing, word processing, and light photo/video editing), the MacBook Air is your gal.
