Consider the similarities among the different models:

 Widescreen display: Each model sports a widescreen, backlit LED display. The MacBook Air offers a 13-inch display and the MacBook Pro is the star of the show, with the highest resolution available on any Apple laptop. (It’s available in a 13- or 16-inch display.)

 Apple M1 or Intel processor power: Your shiny new MacBook Air comes from Apple with the new M1 processor, while the MacBook Pro 13-inch model can be ordered with either the M1 or an Intel Core i5 or i7. The superfast Core i9 processor is available exclusively in the MacBook Pro 16-inch model.

 Keyboard and trackpad: Both MacBook models offer a backlit keyboard and the unique Force Touch trackpad. The Touch ID sensor is offered for the MacBook Air, allowing you to use your fingerprint to log in and pay for online purchases. The Touch Bar (available on the MacBook Pro) offers several nifty features within your favorite applications. (Read more about Force Touch, Touch ID, and the Touch Bar in Chapter 3.)

 Big Sur: All current laptops from Apple naturally run the latest version of macOS with aplomb.

 FaceTime: Every MacBook is video-ready, using a built-in FaceTime camera. You can record audio with the built-in microphones as well.

 Sealed battery: You can’t swap batteries with any models in Apple’s current MacBook line because the battery is sealed inside. (Think iPad and iPhone.)

 Wireless support: The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro each have built in the latest AirPort Extreme hardware (802.11ac). Both models feature built-in Bluetooth hardware. (Read more about AirPort Extreme in Chapter 11.)

I think most Apple laptop owners would agree that these major MacBook features show there’s no underpowered pushover in the lineup!
