Why Choose a MacBook as a Beginner?
Apple’s MacBooks stand out with their reliability, top-notch build materials, and long-term software support. Still, it’s important to carefully consider which model suits your needs—each has its own strengths and limitations.
Whether you’re an international student, freelancer, or digital nomad in Hungary, a MacBook is a smart investment, and the local Apple market is ready for you.
MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro – Which One Is Right for You?
