Now that we finally have our hands on the MacBook Pro 2018 and macOS Mojave, the best Macs are better than ever before. And, if you’re thinking about going out and picking up the best Mac for you, consider that specs, performance and design mean way more in how that interact with macOS itself than any of them separately. That’s why it doesn’t make too much sense to put the best Macs against Windows 10 PCs.
The top Macs come in every shape and size in 2018. We may not know what the future holds, but there’s still plenty of life left in the best Macs. They cover everything from high-resolution mobile workhorses, like the MacBook Pro and its Touch Bar, to stationary behemoths, like the iMac Pro – which is the most powerful Mac on the planet with its Intel Xeon processor.
So, what’s the best Mac for you?
So, we decided to put together a list of the best Macs – MacBooks, iMacs and more. The only Macs that weren’t included here are the ones we’ve yet to review, or just didn’t make the cut. So, now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are peeking from around the corner, it’s time to find all the best Macs you can buy today.
If you want the MacBook with the most performance possible, and money is no object, look no further than the 15-inch, 2018 MacBook Pro. With its hexa-core 8th-generation Coffee Lake processor and up to 32GB of RAM there is not a single thing you can throw at this laptop that it can’t handle. With performance like this, it’s easy to see why it’s one of the best MacBooks not only this year, but of all time. Just as long as you have the cash to bankroll it.

You know you’re getting an unusually good value from an Apple product when, even at the entry level, you can expect high performance, tons of storage and more ports than you know what to do with. The latest Apple iMac is a perfect example of this. There’s still no touchscreen, but when it costs so much less than Microsoft’s Surface Studio, it’s not that much of a loss. Instead, you’re getting a 7th-generation Intel desktop-class processor and your choice of an IPS display carefully wrapped in an all-metal chassis.

For much of the year, the biggest complaint with the MacBook Pro was that it was still using Kaby Lake processors, even though its competition had moved ahead. Luckily, the MacBook Pro 2018 changes everything, and is more powerful than ever before. It still has the controversial Butterfly keyboard, but it’s been improved – with less noise and more reliability. It’s easy to recommend the 13-inch MacBook Pro 2018 for anyone looking for the best Mac.

If you’re a professional or a creative, and you need something that will be able to tackle any workload you could possibly throw at it, you’re going to love the iMac Pro. Not only does it have a vivid 27-inch 5K display with a P3 wide color gamut, but it’s also packed with the most powerful hardware Apple could get its hands on. It’s extremely expensive, but if you’re looking for unbridled power to get through professional workloads, the iMac Pro is the best Mac for you.

When Apple refreshed the MacBook back in 2016, it didn’t please anyone, despite being more attractive than ever before. And, while the controversy hasn’t disappeared entirely, the 12-inch MacBook has found its niche as an ultraportable and lightweight laptop. It’s low on ports, but in a laptop this thin, that’s to be expected, and it can support basically everything under the sun with its Thunderbolt 3 port, anyway. It’s not as powerful as the MacBook Pro, but if you’re looking for a MacBook that’s easy to take with you wherever you go, look no further.

The MacBook Air is in a weird place right now. While it’s still one of the most popular and well-known laptops ever made, the iPad Pro and 12-inch MacBook have stolen much of its thunder. That is, unless you need the legacy USB 3.0, Thunderbolt 2 and SDXC card connectivity. Even without a Retina screen or Force Touch trackpad, the 13-inch Macbook Air is still a great little machine, even with the MacBook Air 2018 likely coming out in a week. Plus, it still has the beloved MagSafe charger onboard – a feature we hope Apple never gets rid of.

While we wait for Apple to announce a new Mac Mini, the 2014 Mac Mini is still the cheapest Mac on the market by a long shot. Luckily, the Intel CPU inside allows it to be used for heavier tasks and Apple has brought the low-end model up to a decent spec. Starting at less than $500 for a 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4GB of RAM, Apple’s smallest Mac is still competent – we’re just left wanting for more modern hardware.
