It may not have actually started in a garage, but the Mac still put Apple on the map. With so many iconic designs and influential ad campaigns over the years, the Mac has become one of the world's most versatile computers. And the power of MacOS 14 Sonoma -- and soon, MacOS 15 -- will keep your creative energy going. Plus, with Apple now making its chips, we've only scratched the surface of how powerful and efficient the Mac can be. The 2024 MacBook Air M3 is a perfect example.
The Laptop Line-up
Portable power crossed with beauty and elegance defines the MacBook lineup. Here's the current roster from Apple:
MacBook Air
MacBook Air (M3, 2024): A performance bump from the M3 chip makes it the perfect MacBook.
MacBook Pro

The Desktop line-up
