Apple was able to push all the latest technology, lots of RAM, storage and 8-core CPU into a similarly-sized body as the predecessor. I personally own the older but maxed out 15″ version that I use every day, but when the 16″ was released, I drooled over its specifications.

Now let’s talk about the Mercedes-Benz of Apple laptops, the MacBook Pro 16″.
Similar to the MacBook Air, it does not have a dedicated GPU and cannot host one. The 13″ MacBook Pro has one limitation you should be aware of.
If you don’t shoot with a high-resolution camera and you need something that is very lightweight and compact for travel purposes, then the MacBook Air is not a bad option by any means.
If you beef up the machine with 16 GB of RAM (maximum) and 2 TB of SSD storage, you are looking at spending $2,250 – that’s a lot of money and not as much value.īoth Photoshop and Lightroom will function, but you will need to arm yourself with some patience, especially when working with large, high-resolution RAW images and opening multiple applications at once. There is no dedicated graphics card (GPU embedded into CPU) and there are only two Thunderbolt 3 ports, so if you have more than one device to connect, you will need to get a USB Type-C hub. Although you can purchase a higher-spec MacBook Air model with a Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor, it is only clocked at 1.2 Ghz, which is not great. However, when something is this lightweight, there will always be compromises somewhere, and that’s the problem with the MacBook Air line – they are fairly underpowered machines overall, and they are designed for light use, such as browsing the web, email, and entertainment.
