When most computer users decide to purchase a new computer inevitably the thoughts of purchasing a high quality Apple laptop come up. However, if you have been in the Windows world for a long time it might be hard to understand which MacBook is best for you? Luckily, Apple has limited choices when it comes to laptops. They carry the MacBook line, the MacBook Pro line, and the MacBook Air line. All three laptops have very different uses and are clearly designed for different user groups.
The consumer entry model for Apple is the MacBook laptop. Currently, this laptop is only available in one configuration. This is the quintessential white laptop that you see Apple users using across the world. The free MacBook is designed for students, and computer users who just use lighter applications. If you simply check your email, play fun games online, and want to listen to music the Apple MacBook is exactly right for you. It comes with a built in DVD Superdrive for burning and watching movies. It has more than enough power to run web games, and some dedicated graphics intensive games as well. Most computer users will come to realize this laptop is more than enough for their needs.
The next step up is the MacBook Pro line. This is, like the moniker implies, the laptop line for professionals. Designed with a full aluminum enclosure, the MacBook Pro is a beautiful machine to behold. That is the fist and one of the biggest differences between the Pro and non-pro line. However, the components are also a lot different on the Pro side of things. A dedicated graphics card is probably one of the biggest jumps experienced when switching over to the Pro side of things. If you need a computer for video editing or serious gaming, then the Pro line is what you are after. It has comes with significantly newer processors for all your intense computing needs.
The last and newest laptop line that Apple offers is the MacBook Air line. These laptops are designed with one thing in mind. They are designed to take up as little space as possible. They forgo even having a CD drive to be the thinnest laptop in the world! If you are a commuter who is constantly moving and in need of a laptop, the MacBook Air is the clear winner. You have to sacrifice some power and bells and whistles to get that light and small form factor, but it is a life saver for certain computer users.
