#Xcode for macbook air pro
If you need a MacBook that can handle much more than programming and you also want the largest screen you can get, the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) could be the best choice for you.
Larger size makes it less convenient to carry around

See our full MacBook Air (M1, 2020) review for more details This isn't the best MacBook to choose if you're going to be doing video editing or image editing, but if you only need a laptop for programming and general productivity, this should still do the job just fine. While the M1 chip has been succeeded by the M2, it still offers fantastic performance, especially when compiling code. In our tests, we were impressed by how fast and smooth the laptop is in use, and we got well over a full day of use on a single battery charge.Īnother benefit of the M1 MacBook Air is that it's fanless, which makes it silent in use. It's the cheapest MacBook you can buy new even at full price, but it often sees discounts. The 2020 MacBook Air still hits the perfect sweet spot between value and performance. If you're a coder on a tighter budget who just does not need the kind of horsepower the other MacBooks offer, then the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) remains an excellent choice. We also got an impressive 11 hours of web browsing from the battery. When we tested it, our reviewer found it performed brilliantly for everything from 3D modelling to image editing and video editing – we got instantaneous results when doing complex tasks in Cinema 4D. You get the same choice of processors, same ports and same 1,600 nits of peak brightness as with the 16-inch mode Pro, but the smaller size makes it more comfortable for use out and about, for example in class or in a cafe. We find that out of all the MacBooks, the 14-inch offers the best balance between portability and screen size for programming. It will still serve you for plenty of other tasks, including graphics work, if you'll be doing more than programming alone. It's since been superseded by a 2023 model with the M2 Pro or M2 Pro Max chip, but considering that the 2021 model already offers much more power than you need for programming tasks, we recommend this one for programmers since you're more likely to find an attractive deal. It has basically everything you want, including a choice of hugely powerful M1 Pro and M1 Max chips from Apple. The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is in our view the best overall MacBook for programming.
May be too small for some working with visuals
