The perfect everyday laptop
Upgraded from an Intel Air and the difference is staggering. It's fast, silent, and the 15-inch screen is a game-changer for multitasking. Battery truly lasts all day.

Love the size and weight. Performance is snappy for my workflow ( Figma, Chrome, Slack ). The 60Hz display is the only thing that feels dated coming from a Pro.
This is the Mac most people should buy. It does everything the Pro does for most users at a fraction of the price and weight. The Midnight color is gorgeous.
