A: Good choices for a 15-year-old: MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) — best balance of portability, performance, battery life, price. Great if the student carries the laptop between home / school / library. MacBook Air 13-inch (M2 or M3) — A budget friendly option that still handles typical student tasks well: word processing, note-taking, browsing, online classes. Good if you want to save money but still get a solid Mac experience. All are compatible with her iPhone 15 and can run Microsoft Word smoothly.
Q: do any of mac pros have a disc drive
A: I’m not sure what year they discontinued the internal disc drive, “Super Drive”, I do know you can buy an external disc drive. I’ve owned Apples External Super Drive which was Apples replacement for ditching the DVD/CD player. I’m sure there are other 3rd party disc drives available I would look for one that is designed specifically for Apple.
A: That’s a great question since Apples new model for AppleCare+ for iPhones is a monthly subscription. I can say that Best Buy has their own yearly subscription service that will cover all electronics purchased through them. I personally have it and they have been great with both my MacBook, Lenovo, Samsung Dryer/Washer and Dishwasher. I dropped off my Intel MacBook and they partitioned my drive to load Windows onto it. I’ve had them do basic maintenance on both laptops and they came and fixed my dryer.
Q: Does MacBook have touch screen?
A: No touch screen.

Great first MacBook for an iPhone user
This is my first computer—I’ve always done everything on my phone—and the MacBook with the M5 chip made the jump easy. Setup was straightforward with my Apple ID, and my photos, messages, and notes showed up right away. Performance feels instant for everyday tasks (email, dozens of browser tabs, video calls, light photo/video edits), and the battery reliably lasts me a full day. The screen is sharp and bright, text looks crisp, and the speakers are surprisingly full for a thin laptop. The keyboard feels comfortable, and the large trackpad with gestures made navigation intuitive even for a newcomer. What I didn’t love: there’s a learning curve coming from a touch-only world, and I wish there were a couple more built-in ports. Also, some pro apps took me a bit to configure the first time. But overall, this MacBook made me more productive on day one and has been rock-solid and quiet.

An amazing laptop in search of an audience
Looking at this laptop purely on its own merits, there's a lot to like. There are literally dozens of videos online you can seek out that discuss raw benchmark numbers so I won't get into that here, but in regular day-to-day usage, the M5 processor delivers a snappy, highly responsive experience. Things like opening applications and other single-threaded burst tasks feel quicker than even my Mac Mini with the M4 Pro chip. Battery life is also out of the world. Using it an hour or two a day for things like web surfing, office work, content consumption and a bit of gaming, I can go days without having to recharge. The keyboard feels nice to type on; Apple still has the best trackpads in the business; and the mini-LED screen is excellent for productivity (though not for gaming). Despite all the good things this MacBook Pro has to offer, there are some cracks in the facade. While still a good-looking laptop, the design is getting a bit long in the tooth, though there are rumors of a redesign coming in 2026 with the upcoming M5 Pro and Max chips. The keyboard might be good for typing, but the palm rest edges aren't beveled so they cut into my wrist, which makes it uncomfortable for extended sessions. The laptop is quiet for most of my usage, but if I push the system hard by loading up a game like Cyberpunk 2077, the fans spin up to a point where they might be too loud for some. At the end of the day, this leads me to wonder exactly who is the target audience for this laptop. Casual users should seek a MacBook Air. It's lighter, even more portable, and has excellent performance while being completely fan-less. Creatives and power users would be better served by spending a bit more and going with a MacBook that has a Pro-level chip. It will be faster in tasks like photo and video editing while being quieter thanks to its dual-fan cooling solution. Were the M5 MacBook Pro to exist in a vacuum, it's something I could easily recommend, but it doesn't so I would look at the aforementioned alternatives first before handing over your money on this one.

Great Experience Buying My MacBook at Best Buy
I recently purchased a MacBook from Best Buy, and the whole experience was smooth and easy. The staff was helpful and answered all my questions without rushing me. The product was available in store, and the pickup process was quick—I was in and out in just a few minutes. The MacBook came in perfect condition, sealed and exactly as described. I really appreciated how simple Best Buy makes the buying process, from checking availability online to picking it up the same day. So far, the laptop has been working flawlessly. Overall, great experience and I’ll definitely keep buying my electronics from Best Buy.
