Apple updates MacBook lineup with new models and enhanced features for 2024

Apple offers two main types of laptops: the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is generally more affordable, with the entry-level M2 model starting at $999. The latest models now come with 16GB of RAM as standard, improving performance. The MacBook Pro lineup includes the new M4 chip, with the 14-inch model starting at $1,599. This model features a better display and more storage options compared to the discontinued 13-inch MacBook Pro. The price gap between the Air and Pro models has widened. The 15-inch MacBook Air, introduced in 2023, provides a larger screen at a lower price than the 14-inch Pro. For professional users, the M4 Pro and M4 Max models offer advanced specs but come at a higher cost.
