Best for most people
The laptop to buy if you are happy on macOS: the M5 chip is fast, Apple quotes up to 18 hours of battery, and 16GB of memory keeps it quick for years. The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina screen is sharp and the design is light enough to carry daily. With 512GB of storage, heavy video or photo libraries may still need cloud or external space.
