Apple MacBook Pro Buying Guide

The Apple MacBook Pro marks a line of high-end notebooks. It’s a popular pick among students and professionals because of its speed, sleek design, and reliable performance. It comes with a native installation of the macOS, and offers multiple ports for connecting accessories and peripherals. Apple offers the Macbook Pro in different sizes and with a variety of features. If you’re looking for a notebook for work, a laptop for school, or simply a mobile computer for on-the-go gaming, the MacBook Pro makes a compelling choice. However, to get the most out of your purchase, you’ll need to ensure you make the right pick.

Choosing the Right MacBook Pro Size

The Pro comes in two major sizes: 13 inches and 15 inches. Both options offer several unique benefits that make them better suited to different tasks. The 13-inch model weighs less and has a more compact build, which makes it the preferred option for portability. If you’re constantly on the move and you prefer a lightweight notebook that fits easily into most bags, then the 13-inch version (also known as the MacBook Air) might be an ideal fit.

On the other hand, the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro is a better option if you’re looking for a convenient desktop-replacement laptop. Its wider footprint means that it offers a wider display. The extra room also means that most models typically offer more features, with faster processors and powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). If graphics, screen size, and processing speed are important to you, then a 15.4-inch Pro may be the better choice.

Popular Apple MacBook Pro Accessories

This unique device comes with several ports that allow for expanded functionality with compatible MacBook accessories. For instance, you can ditch the trackpad by plugging in an external mouse, or connect your MacBook to a printer via the USB port. You can even sync or expand your display options with an external monitor using the DisplayPort. Flash drives and external hard drives are popular choices with most users. They give you an easy way to share and transport files, while providing a convenient option for backing up files.

Can I Use the Apple MacBook Pro for Gaming?

It supports most compatible light-to-medium games. Modern models typically come with a vibrant display, a fast processor, and a comfortable keyboard. If you plan to use your computer for gaming, you can improve your experience by choosing models with the latest processors. You can also improve gaming performance by choosing models that come with discrete GPUs (as opposed to integrated graphics).
