The Old MacBook Air Models (With a Silver Bezel): Apple's slim laptop was groundbreaking when it debuted in 2008.
Still, as soon as these apps are better optimized for the MacBook, you may be able to pick up right where you left off when switching from your iPhone to Mac (or vice versa). Search for an app in the Mac App Store, and you'll see a new tab for 'iPhone and iPad apps.' Not all mobile apps are available-developers have to opt in-and ones that are available might look and feel clunky, as they're clearly designed for interfaces that use a touchscreen, a hardware attribute this machine does not have. Just like the MacBook Air with M1, you can run mobile apps on the MacBook Pro. It's only slightly heavier than the MacBook Air (3 pounds versus 2.8 pounds), but it matches its size and is still very slim. Other perks include longer battery life, improved speakers and microphones, a brighter 13-inch screen, and a Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard (if you consider that a perk). It's faster than most Windows laptops too. We haven't tested it yet, but it's the model to buy if you often use more intensive applications, like video editing or coding software. However, it has a fan that lets the processor get a little warmer and eke out more power over a longer period of time. The new MacBook Pro with M1 isn't dramatically speedier than the MacBook Air.
