But is it right for you?
The new MacBook Pro is just incredible.
And yet they all came true.

The computer is impressive.
But is it right for you?
The Price is…

Even the basic model looks useful.
Usually Apples entry-level devices are lacking in storage or RAM, or both.
The cheapest14-inch MacBook Procomes with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage.

Thats passable, although 1TB is probably more realistic for most pro users.
Even the top-of-the-line version, the 16-inch model with every option maxed out, is just over $6,000.
But the big question is, do you need all that power?

What About The Air?
In Apple-speak, pro just means fancy and expensive.
Except now, the new MacBook Pro is actually pro.
And yet the Pros are so much more.
They now have SD card slots for camera or audio files, or for adding extra storage space.
The HDMI port means one less dongle for the office projector.
And the MagSafe, with its colored LED status light, is just great.
And then theres the screen, super bright and great for everything including watching Netflix with 120Hz Pro Motion.
The speaker system in the old 16-inch MacBook Pro was impressive, so the new one should be excellent.
A 16GB, 1TB Air costs $1,649.
Thats close enough to the $1,999 MacBook Pro to make one think twice.
Theres not much not to like about the new machines, although theres always something.
Which is very telling considering how theyd normally want to show off how thin that top bezel is.
But there are some other considerations that might make you pick the MacBook Air instead.
Another is battery life.
But really, there are very few downsides.
