This model is our pick for the best Apple MacBook overall. We gave it a 90 in our review thanks to a solid increase in power over its predecessor and reliable features. It comes with an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It also has 256GB of storage, 8GB of memory, and up to 18 hours of battery life. Plus, we love the solid quad-speaker array, the sturdy and sleek design, and the fast performance.
