Name it once and every Mac page re-states its figures as a difference from yours — “4 hours longer than yours”, not “18 hours”. It is kept in this browser and sent nowhere.

Popular comparisons
The pairs people have searched for and landed on here, from Google Search Console as read on 11 October 2026. It lists what was asked for, not a pick of the best Mac.
Two questions, one page per Mac
- Should I upgrade my Mac? — whether it still gets updates, the newer one in its line beside it, the rest of the range at the price, and what yours fetches used.
- When does my Mac stop getting updates? — the newest macOS Apple lists it for, from Apple’s own pages, and the pattern in Apple’s past releases, labelled as the inference it is.
And the questions asked about the whole range, each answered from the figures.
- MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: what’s the difference?
- Which Mac has the longest battery life?
- Which is the lightest MacBook?
- Which Macs have 16GB memory or more as standard?

Three promises
Every figure is sourced and dated, and one we cannot find is omitted, never estimated. No verdicts and no scores: a comparison prints both Macs’ figures side by side. How figures are sourced and shown is on the methodology page.
