Apple Laptops Overview
Among the many other famous laptop brands, Apple also manages to secure one of the top positions the list of tech names.
Times have now changed!
We live in a time of:
- Constantly changing cell phones,
- In a world where tablets are widespread among young children to watch and play games and
- Even the old wristwatches have become really smart and innovative!
Yet the modest laptop brands have persisted through all of these developments, and with a clear reason to be true!
If a user wants to get something done - whether:
- It's organizing images,
- Sending a lot of emails,
- Drafting documents, or
- Keeping in touch with friends and loved ones — the laptop is always the best tool for the job.
Characteristics of a good laptop
How it combines:
- Power,
- Performance,
- Portability and
- Comfort is what distinguishes a good laptop from a fantastic one.
The ideal product should definitely have a:
- Nice keyboard and
- Trackpad — after all, these are the two main reasons you'd prefer a laptop over a tablet or smartphone.
The screen should be simple on the eyes, clear and detailed enough that the sharp edges and visible pixels don't bother anyone.
The laptop should definitely be powerful enough to do anything, from:
- Intense video editing to
- Professional gaming
The laptop should be easily carried around to various places throughout the day without plugging in again and again and most importantly,
- It should have a touch screen so that users can understand the different functions of it and enjoy playing with it as much as possible.
That one "best laptop" in the market!
Naming "the best laptop" is very different from naming the best tablet or phone. The needs and requirements of laptop users can vary widely.
- Most people like to do extreme video editing, so they can get a digital computer or something really advance.
- Some only need a stable keyboard and a few updated windows, so that will involve something less efficient.
- Others may like an ultra-light laptop that can function as a tablet at times.
- While some people would prefer a portable gaming device that will be able to run all the new games.
Different people will have different preferences, and one simply cannot deny this fact.
Here, in this article we are talking about one of the best all-around products: a standard laptop that will perform well for many users to do many tasks, and even extend on occasion to manage more demanding tasks.

Are Apple laptops worth winning an Award?
Apple's keyboard woes persist, and this year when few MacBooks were tested, it was concluded that they are not as innovative as we had hoped it would be. Consequently, the average laptop score of the Cupertino giant sits at 3.7 stars, with only one entry receiving an Editor's Choice award.
To macOS users, though, it's not all sad news:
- Apple recently launched a new version of MacBook Air, adding long-awaited updates to its popular notebook laptop.
- But the 12-inch MacBook is still in dire need of some support, and Apple continues to sell obsolete components of the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
Let's start by discussing its design first.
Nobody can ever claim Apple laptops are not all.
- Robust and
- Elegant at the same time.
Nevertheless, they may claim the style has become very outdated over the years. Since it has become the coffee shops and workspaces de facto laptop, Apple has become a bit too confident in the layout area.
Apart from eliminating a few inches and cm's, like the 2018 MacBook Air, the feeling haven't changed significantly. And if we talk about the 13-inch MacBook Pro event, that hasn't improved at all.
The Pro is significantly heavier than the other laptops in the competitive market and still offers the same two colors:
- Space Gray and
- Silver,
While other laptop manufacturers dabbling in:
- Blacks,
- Whites and
- Rose gold
But surprisingly, there is still a justification for the word "MacBook clone." because, to this day, the classic look of Apple is still regurgitated by laptop manufacturers.
What does Apple have for us in the Support and Warranty Section?
The tech-support people who work on Apple's:
- Cell towers,
- Online communication, and
- Social networking
Is still responsible for giving the business a big boost while providing
- Timely,
- Friendly,
- Cheerful and
- Precise responses.
Following a market-jump to its tech support plan added by AppleCare+ in 2017, the company kept its promises the same in the last span of customers' coverage.
- The devices come with a one-year hardware warranty and
- Ninety days of telephone service and customers can expand both allocations to 3 years.
Innovation
For MacBook advancement, the last year was not quite noteworthy, because the only move forward has been the updated MacBook Air. It's great that Apple finally provided a:
- Retina monitor,
- Touch id and
- A force touch trackpad at a fairly reasonable cost,
But there is nothing particularly innovative or different in here.
Value and Selection
Apple has a small range of laptops that all begin at a premium price in Pakistan and are only getting more expensive.
Many of its laptops have a high-quality aluminum build and a fantastic pair of speakers, but its monitor is dim, and its efficiency is inferior to the other brand's laptops.
16-inch MacBook Pro
The best MacBook available for professional users with some general features as follows:
- Dramatically upgraded Fairy Keyboard
- Dynamic 16-inch screen with leaner edges
- Robust 6-speaker amplification
- Up to 8-core Core i9 Processor and 64 GB RAM
- Normal size USB or SD slot.
With upgraded features, robust audio, and a wider, more realistic display, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro —the MacBook family's latest member — is an improved advancement on those models of Apple laptops, which are now discontinued in the market.
Yeah,
- it's bigger and
- A little heavier,
but this hit to functionality is overlooked once the buyer gets their eyes on the stunning 16-inch, 3072 x 1920 resolution monitor of the MacBook Pro, which is accompanied by slim edges.
In keeping with the tradition of other laptops before its launch, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's most efficient laptop thanks to its:
- 9th Gen Core i7 or Core i9 CPUs,
- Has the capacity of 64 GB of RAM,
- up to 8 TB of storage, (absolutely no kidding) and
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500 M graphics.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's greatest notebook over all these years, especially if people can purchase one!
MacBook Air
Coming to the most hyped Apple product, this laptop is still the number 1 amongst all the Apple fans.
One of its best points is that it is relatively cheaper as compared to the other models before it and is easily available in various stores of Pakistan as well.
Some of its key features are:
- Sleek design
- Great battery life
- Magic Keyboard
- Underwhelming performance
- Limited ports
The new MacBook Air is top among the best MacBook's for those who don't want to spend too much. This latest model not only starts at some of the lowest price rates as its predecessor but it now features the Magic Keyboard, which is a huge improvement in both:
- Reliability and
- Comfort over the doomed butterfly keyboard.
On top of that, you get the latest Intel 10th, Gen CPUs. Yes, they're still Y-series, so don't expect amazing performance, but they are a notch up from the previous model. Another benefit of the new model is that it starts with 256GB of storage -- no more measly 128GB.
Final Verdict
Everything else about the 2020 model is about what people would expect from a MacBook Air.
It's a slim, sleek laptop that weighs just 2.8 pounds and comes in at 0.6 inches thick. Those numbers don't break any records, but they keep this notebook easy to carry around. Battery life is also great, at 9 hours and 31 minutes, and the speakers sound remarkably good. So yes, it is a win-win situation for the serious buyers and absolutely an ideal offer indeed!
