Which MacBook to buy

Apple revealed the first Macs running custom Apple Silicon during an event in November and they are powerful. The MacBook Air with the M1 processor outperforms almost every Intel Mac for sale today, and without an internal fan.

There are some limitations that come with the new processor, however, that potential buyers need to consider. This MacBook does not have a fan, which means the processor will throttle down speed in certain operations. That means the 13-inch MacBook Pro will perform better in certain conditions due to better cooling.

The MacBook Air has two Thunderbolt 3 ports, but can only connect to a single external monitor. The monitor can be 6K at 60Hz, but reducing the specs will not enable adding additional monitors like with Intel-based Macs.

The M1 processor also does not allow external GPUs to be connected. Some users may want to buy an Intel Mac now in order to have one of the last Macs with Intel while Apple works out the limitations of the custom processors.
