![]() ![]() They were both demolished by the more recent 2023 MacBook Pros, however. On the Geekbench 5 multi-core CPU benchmark, which evaluates CPU performance, MacBook Air (M1, 16GB RAM) scored a 5,962 and the Pro (M1, 16GB RAM) netted a pretty similar 5,925. M3 (10 core), M3 Pro (Up to 18 cores), M3 Max (Up to 40 cores)Īpple's older M1-based MacBook Air and Pro are still plenty fast for basic work and browsing the web.

Plus, you get a 120Hz ProMotion display for smoother performance. They're rated for 1,000 nits of brightness and our testing confirms that they do get that bright (at least, when viewing HDR content) thanks to their mini-LED technology, which also offers superior colors and contrast. The 20 MacBook Pros take display quality to the next level with their Liquid Retina XDR displays. The later models are just as good if not better. The Air (M1) netted a 114.3% sRGB rating from our colorimeter, which slightly beats the 110.6% rating we got from the M1 13-inch Pro. On color output, though, the M1 laptops are more similar. The M2 MacBook Pro achieved 474.6 nits of standard brightness, while the MacBook Air 2022 achieved 489 nits, per our testing. The Retina displays in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro are both sharp and colorful, and while it's close, there's a reason to go Pro: brightness.īased on our lab test results, the MacBook Air (M1) maxes out at 365.8 nits of brightness, while the M1 MacBook Pro (13-inch: 434.8 nits) got even brighter. Predictably, the new M3 MacBook Pro rocks the same dimensions as the M2 model, although it gets a new color, in the form of the alluring new 'Space Black' - though this shade is exclusive to models with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. The M2 MacBook Pro has the exact same design as its M1-powered predecessor. ![]() It also has thinner bezels and a notch for the camera. The M2 MacBook Air 2022 has a design that's more akin to the 2021 MacBook Pros, ditching the tapered design. ![]() They come in the same silver and Space Gray shades as their Air counterparts. There's a notch at the top for the 1080p webcam, but it's not too distracting. The new MacBook Pros deliver slim bezels and ditch the Touch Bar in favor of a dedicated function row (we say good riddance). The Air has a tapered-wedge design, as it always has. The MacBook Air and Pro share machined aluminum shells, come in silver and Space Gray, and all have the little lip at the front of the base, for easily opening the screen. ![]()
