![]() Want the most powerful MacBooks with Apple’s silicon? Look no further than the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends)-if you can stomach the $2,000 starting price. This time, I tested the 15-inch MacBook Air with 16 GB of memory, and it handled 40 Chrome tabs, three separate windows, and multiple apps, without any hiccups. Having used the M2-powered 13-inch MacBook Air with 8 GB of memory over the past year, I'd often see the rainbow wheel whenever I'd have several tabs and windows open. (Unlike the smaller MacBook Air, the base model comes with a 10-core GPU instead of eight.) If it's within your budget, I highly recommend upgrading to at least 16 GB of unified memory. It's powered by the same M2 chip too, complete with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU.

The 15-inch MacBook Air ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the first large-screen option within the Air lineup.
