Apple MacBook Air (early-2020)—256GB
First up? This Apple MacBook Air (early-2020). It’s brand-spankin’ new and on sale for $949, or $50 off at B&H Photo Video and Amazon.com.
Trust us, this 13.3-inch laptop is built for working from home, thanks to the latest version of MacOS Catalina that keeps it running as smooth as silk. It even features Apple’s newest Magic Keyboard for better and more comfortable typing compared to previous models and a FaceTime HD camera for the most crystal-clear video chatting around.
The MacBook Air has 8GB of memory and 256GB of on-board storage, and also features TouchID, so you can log in to your laptop with just your fingerprint. It’ll keep you going, with 12 hours of battery life on a charge. And it’s very manageable weight-wise, at just under three pounds.
It really is a terrific all-around choice. This “MacBook Air is an excellent everyday companion for students as well as users with standard computing requirements,” shared a reviewer. “Web browsing, email, office productivity are lightning-fast on this light easy-to-carry notebook. Moderate photo and video editing are also very well handled by the MacBook Air 2020.”

Apple MacBook Pro (mid-2019)—128GB
Looking for more power? This Apple MacBook Pro laptop features a crystal-clear 13.3-inch LED Retina display that’s backlit with a QHD+ resolution at 1800p. That’s near 4K resolution.
On sale for $1,189, or $110 off—the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this model—it’s armed with a Quad-core Intel Core i5 processor paired with 8GB of memory and 128GB of on-board storage. This beast can handle everything from graphic design and video editing to word processing and heavy internet browsing.
It sports 10 hours on a charge and a customizable and sleek Touch Bar for easy access to laptop and app settings and controls. It’s so powerful and speedy, it just may tempt you to veer from Windows.
“Slowly switching from Windows to this MacBook Pro and loving it. Very fast computer with plenty of storage and great for photography,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “I was using an HP that slowed down considerably when I started working with Lightroom and saving raw images—no problem here. And the camera, video and sound have been far superior during the pandemic—this is an excellent machine that I'll hopefully use for many years.”

Apple MacBook Pro (mid-2019)—256GB
Looking for more storage space? This Apple MacBook Pro—on sale for $1,249, or $250 off at B&H Photo Video—will do the trick. And the price has never been better.
This is the exact same model as the one above, only it comes with 256GB of on-board storage instead of 128GB. So if you work with bigger video or photo files, it might be worth the upgrade.
Like the 128GB, this model is expandable thanks to two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports. This means you can connect a monitor and additional storage from an external hard drive.
“This MacBook Pro is surprisingly small,” shared an Apple fan. “When I received it I thought they sent me the Air because of its size. But don't let the size fool you. I'm using it with Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator and it's handling everything just fine.”
