Apple laptops have long been held up as a gold standard for portable computers. MacBooks were the first to bring technologies like aluminum unibody construction, super-sharp IPS screens, backlit keyboards, and multitouch trackpads to the mainstream. The problem with Apple's current lineup is that the company has a variety of models with different capabilities, making it difficult to find the one that's best for you. It’s fast enough for the things that most people use a computer for—Web browsing, working on documents, even light photo editing—and it has an excellent high-resolution screen, a great trackpad, enough battery life to get most people through a day of work, and a (relatively) reasonable price. Apple sells a lot of laptop models right now, but the Air offers the best combination of features, performance, and price.
Here in Techyfruit we have curated a list of the best selling Macbooks to help you select your best laptop that suits your budget list and also the features you are looking for.

What you will love about it:
The Apple MacBook Pro Core i5 13.3-inch Laptop has an identical design. The aluminum design still feels solid, and the Touch ID button makes it a cinch to log in with a touch of your finger. The bezels around the display are thicker especially toward the top.
The device has four Thunderbolt 3 ports on the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. These ports offer blazing throughput and let you connect up to two 4K monitors at once.
The layout of the keys in the keyboard is much more comfortable than most other laptops. It also has a slightly softer feel. It even has a thin rubberized layer of silicone under its keycaps. This should prevent dust from getting into the keys and reduce the risk of sticky keys.
The laptop has a 13-inch display (2560 x 1600 pixels) and with the True Tone turned on, the screen is easier on the eyes. That's because the system leverages a dedicated sensor to dynamically change the whitepoint on the display to match the color temperature in the room.
The Touch Bar above the keyboard also gets the True Tone treatment to match the main display. This mini touchscreen (2170 x 60 pixels) does come in handy at times, such as for using music controls in the Spotify app, scrubbing through images with your finger in the photos app, and picking a favorite site to launch in Safari by touching its icon.
It has the best performance among all the other Macbooks. With its 8th-gen, quad-core Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM it can handle demanding tasks well, too, such as transcoding a 4K video to 1080p using the Handbrake app. Apple's system took 14 minutes and 47 seconds to complete the task, which is more than 5 minutes faster than the premium laptop average and about 5 minutes faster than the 2017 MacBook Pro.
The T2 chip enables some other key features, including full disk encryption for data stored on the SSD and a secure boot process. You even get access to Hey Siri feature which allows you to train the laptop to recognize your voice and perform whatever you want the laptop to do.
The device has a battery back up of 8 hours which is above better-than-average battery life of most of the devices. This will keep you through the day for most of your works and not run out in the middle of the work you are doing.
What you may not like about it:
The graphics performance falls behind competition when com[pared to most other laptops.
The battery life could be better.
No full-size USB or SD Card slot.
Expensive.
What you will love about it:
The Apple MacBook's thin chassis and feathery weight is impressive to the point that its dimensions are one of the major selling points of the laptop. It has refined, second-generation butterfly switches that make up the new backlit keyboard. Travel isn’t any deeper, which we don’t love, but feedback is definitely more forceful, improving the typing experience drastically. Even the glass-coated track pad is just as pleasant to use as it’s ever been.
The 12-inch MacBook screen is simply fine. Editing photos and doing graphically intense work looks amazing on the Retina display, though it’s not exactly the sharpest screen in school anymore.
It has a great audio quality. The four stereo speakers toward its hinge can certainly pump out some loud tunes. Still, like all notebooks with mere millimeters to work with for audio chambers, the sound is a bit thin and tinny, with some channels in songs just getting lost outright.
The device is well equipped with fanless M-and Y-series Intel processors, but this doesn’t mean much to everyday users. It’s powerful enough to handle most day-to-day tasks users will throw at it in 2019 – including light video editing, though that’s probably already pushing it. Even with more than 20 Chrome Tabs open the system did not slow down.
This Macbook still beats out most of its rivals in pure longevity, reporting a battery life score of 8 hours.
What you may not like about it:
The price of this laptop should be less considering the marquee performance feature of this laptop with 16GB of RAM capacity it is simply too expensive.
Lack of ports and the middling 480p webcam.

The Apple MacBook Air will make you fall in love all over again. Being available in silver, space grey and gold, the new thinner and lighter device features a brilliant Retina display, Touch ID, the latest-generation keyboard and a Force Touch trackpad. The iconic wedge is created from 100 per cent recycled aluminium, making it the greenest Mac ever.And with all-day battery life, MacBook Air is your perfectly portable, do-it-all notebook.
With a resolution of 2560x1600 for over 4 million pixels, the results are positively jaw dropping. Images take on a new level of detail and realism. Text is so sharp and clear you’ll feel like you’re reading documents, email and websites on a printed page. And with 48 per cent more colours than the previous generation, everything you see is rich and vibrant. The display glass goes to the edge of the enclosure, making the borders 50 per cent thinner than before. So you can focus on what’s on your screen. And you’re going to love what you see.
The advanced security and convenience of Touch ID are now built into MacBook Air. Simply place your finger on the Touch ID sensor and — just like that — your Mac unlocks. You can also use your fingerprint to immediately access locked documents, notes and system settings, without entering yet another password.
MacBook Air features the Apple T2 Security Chip — second generation custom Mac silicon designed by Apple to make MacBook Air even more secure. So when you use Touch ID to unlock your Mac or authenticate a document, your information stays safe. With on-the-fly data encryption, all your data stored on the SSD is automatically and fully encrypted. And thanks to the Apple T2 Security Chip, a familiar voice comes to MacBook Air — Hey Siri is always ready to help open apps, find documents, play music and answer your questions.
The latest-generation MacBook Air keyboard features our butterfly mechanism — providing four times more key stability than a traditional scissor mechanism, along with greater comfort and responsiveness. And individual LED-backlit keys with an ambient light sensor help you type in low-light environments.
The Force Touch trackpad lets you interact with your Mac in a variety of ways based on subtle differences in pressure. You have precise control and a uniform response — no matter where you click the trackpad — as well as plenty of room for Multi-Touch gestures like pinch and zoom. Your fingers will feel right at home.
Even though it weighs just 1.25 kilograms, the new MacBook Air packs quite a punch. An eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor helps you power through daily activities, from reading email and browsing the web to creating Keynote presentations and editing in iMovie. Up to 16GB of memory lets you work seamlessly even with multiple apps open, while up to 1.5TB of SSD storage lets you launch apps in a flash and provides plenty of room for all your documents, photos and videos.
With up to 12 hours of battery life, MacBook Air is your day‑in, day‑out dynamo. Check email, browse the web, shop online, write documents, watch videos, manage spreadsheets and more, all without plugging in. Taking a transatlantic flight? Line up the movies, because MacBook Air is ready to play for up to 13 hours — nonstop.
It has Thunderbolt 3 which combines ultra-high bandwidth with the ultra-versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port — and MacBook Air has two of them. Thunderbolt 3 integrates data transfer, charging and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gbps of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug it in, it’s always right side up.
With the latest in processing and tuning techniques, MacBook Air sounds better than ever. Stereo speakers deliver twice the bass and 25 per cent more volume than the previous generation. And wider stereo sound creates immersive audio when you’re listening to music or watching a movie. The high-definition FaceTime camera lets one or many of your friends and family see you in sharp detail. And three microphones form an array that more accurately captures your voice for FaceTime calls, dictation and talking to Siri.
The laptop is made up of aluminium alloy created by Apple that delivers the same strength, durability and flawless finish — without mining any new aluminium from the earth. It’s designed to use shavings of recaptured aluminium that are re-engineered down to the atomic level. The result is an enclosure as incredibly beautiful and strong as any we have made, and the greenest Mac ever created.
The macOS is the operating system that powers everything you do on a Mac. It lets you do things you simply can’t with other computers. That’s because it’s designed specifically for the hardware it runs on — and vice versa. And macOS Mojave brings new features inspired by its most powerful users but designed for everyone. It comes equipped with a collection of powerful creativity and productivity apps. So you can get straight to work. Or play.

It is heavier then most of it's competitors.
The display is not that great.

You have precise control and a uniform response — no matter where you click the trackpad — as well as plenty of room for Multi-Touch gestures like pinch and zoom. Your fingers will feel right at home.
Even though it weighs just 1.25 kilograms, the new MacBook Air packs quite a punch. An eighth-generation Intel Core i5 processor helps you power through daily activities, from reading email and browsing the web to creating Keynote presentations and editing in iMovie. Up to 16GB of memory lets you work seamlessly even with multiple apps open, while up to 1.5TB of SSD storage lets you launch apps in a flash and provides plenty of room for all your documents, photos and videos.
With up to 12 hours of battery life, MacBook Air is your day‑in, day‑out dynamo. Check email, browse the web, shop online, write documents, watch videos, manage spreadsheets and more, all without plugging in. Taking a transatlantic flight? Line up the movies, because MacBook Air is ready to play for up to 13 hours — nonstop.
It has Thunderbolt 3 which combines ultra-high bandwidth with the ultra-versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port — and MacBook Air has two of them. Thunderbolt 3 integrates data transfer, charging and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gbps of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug it in, it’s always right side up.
With the latest in processing and tuning techniques, MacBook Air sounds better than ever. Stereo speakers deliver twice the bass and 25 per cent more volume than the previous generation. And wider stereo sound creates immersive audio when you’re listening to music or watching a movie. The high-definition FaceTime camera lets one or many of your friends and family see you in sharp detail. And three microphones form an array that more accurately captures your voice for FaceTime calls, dictation and talking to Siri.
The laptop is made up of aluminium alloy created by Apple that delivers the same strength, durability and flawless finish — without mining any new aluminium from the earth. It’s designed to use shavings of recaptured aluminium that are re-engineered down to the atomic level. The result is an enclosure as incredibly beautiful and strong as any we have made, and the greenest Mac ever created.
The macOS is the operating system that powers everything you do on a Mac. It lets you do things you simply can’t with other computers. That’s because it’s designed specifically for the hardware it runs on — and vice versa. And macOS Mojave brings new features inspired by its most powerful users but designed for everyone. It comes equipped with a collection of powerful creativity and productivity apps. So you can get straight to work. Or play.
What you may not like about it:
It is heavier then most of it's competitors.
The display is not that great.
What you will love about it:
The Apple MacBook's thin chassis and feathery weight is impressive to the point that its dimensions are one of the major selling points of the laptop. It has refined, second-generation butterfly switches that make up the new backlit keyboard. Travel isn’t any deeper, which we don’t love, but feedback is definitely more forceful, improving the typing experience drastically. Even the glass-coated track pad is just as pleasant to use as it’s ever been.
The 12-inch MacBook screen is simply fine. Editing photos and doing graphically intense work looks amazing on the Retina display, though it’s not exactly the sharpest screen in school anymore.
It has a great audio quality. The four stereo speakers toward its hinge can certainly pump out some loud tunes. Still, like all notebooks with mere millimeters to work with for audio chambers, the sound is a bit thin and tinny, with some channels in songs just getting lost outright.
The device is well equipped with fanless M-and Y-series Intel processors, but this doesn’t mean much to everyday users. It’s powerful enough to handle most day-to-day tasks users will throw at it in 2019 – including light video editing, though that’s probably already pushing it. Even with more than 20 Chrome Tabs open the system did not slow down.
This Macbook still beats out most of its rivals in pure longevity, reporting a battery life score of 8 hours.
What you may not like about it:
The price of this laptop should be less considering the marquee performance feature of this laptop with 16GB of RAM capacity it is simply too expensive.
Lack of ports and the middling 480p webcam.
