Best laptop for work

The finest notebooks money can buy

The MacBook Pro boasts awesome power, but only two enclosure colors.

THE MACBOOK PRO is for anyone who wants more from their mobile Mac. Does it have more power? Obviously. More screen space? Probably. And what about connectivity? Definitely!

There are eight MacBook Pro models in Apple’s current line–up; two 13–inch models, three with 14–inch screens and at the top of the range, three 16–inch laptops. To be honest, there’s little to commend the 13–inch MacBook Pro. Available in Space Gray or

Silver, they’re powered by Apple M2 chips, the same as the MacBook Air, and they still have a Touch Bar, an irritating feature that never caught on. If you’re satisfied with this level of performance (and it’s no slouch), you might as well save yourself some money and buy either a 13–inch M2 MacBook Air or its 15–inch sibling instead.

The two cheaper 14–inch and 16–inch MacBook Pro models have M2 Pro Apple silicon, with the top–of–the–range model in each size having an M2 Max. These are significantly more powerful than the standard M2. Even the entry level 14–inch MBP has a 10–core CPU, a 16–core GPU and 16GB of unified memory. At the other end of the scale, the most expensive 16–inch model has a 12–core CPU, a 38–core GPU and 32GB of unified memory. This amount of power is likely to be more than a match for all your mobile computing needs. The two cheapest models in each size have 512GB solid–state drives (SSDs),with the rest of the range sporting 1TB.
