Macs are known for their ease of use and minimalist product designs compared to other computer brands. This brand is famous among creative professionals, software engineers, students, and graphic designers.
Currently, the Mac computer lineup includes the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops and the Mac mini, Mac Pro, Mac Studio, and iMac desktop computers. All Macs run using the macOS operating system and share the same ARM-based Apple Silicon architecture as iOS devices.
