A customisable OLED strip, it acts as both the laptopвЂ™s function keys while also letting you make adjustments to volume and screen brightness while providing bespoke functionality depending on whatever app is open.ДЄll MacBooks that Apple currently offers sport high-resolution вЂRetinaвЂ™ displays that look fantastic, so you canвЂ™t go far wrong. The upside is that you get a capacious display which, like its smaller siblingвЂ™s, is color-accurate thanks to P3 color support, making it the best choice for multimedia professionals.ДЄlso useful in this area is AppleвЂ™s MacBook Touch Bar, available as an optional extra on certain 13-inch MacBook Pro configurations and comes as default on its 15-inch variant.

ItвЂ™s true that the slim keys on todayвЂ™s models are contentious. Their keyboards, on the other hand, have divided users since their introduction in 2016. Most people, however, will get by with two ports which leaves one for a monitor and another for hooking up peripherals вЂ“ including a USB hub.ДЄppleвЂ™s modern MacBooks sport excellent speakers that emit rich sound and are more than suitable for listening to music, watching videos or holding conference calls. Having four of them is useful if youвЂ™ll be hooking up two monitors or want several devices connected at the same time.

Since 2016 all of AppleвЂ™s MacBooks have come with USB-C ports вЂ“ two on MacBook Air and two or four on MacBook Pro. If youвЂ™re not gaming but require dedicated graphics for multimedia work, AppleвЂ™s baseline 15-inch MacBook Pro, which comes with an AMD Radeon 555X dedicated GPU, should be your starting point.
