MacBooks are laptops made by the tech giant Apple, and over the years they’ve become synonymous with thin, light yet powerful notebooks. It’s hard to overstate the impact MacBooks, particularly the iconic MacBook Air, had on the laptop market - such as prompting its Windows-based rivals to create a whole new genre to compete: the Ultrabook.
