You can make your MacBook purchase decision based on screen size. If you absolutely want a MacBook laptop with a large screen, your best bet is Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro. If that's too pricey, your next best bet is the 14-inch MacBook Pro, or the new 13.6-inch MacBook Air.   You can also make your decision based on your needs. If you're a casual laptop user, either the M1 or M2 MacBook Air models will easily suit your needs. If you value performance, you'll be looking at the MacBook Pro options, especially the newer 14-inch or 16-inch models with the upgraded M1 Pro/M1 Max processors.  Apart from those two main aspects, you need to think about how much storage you need. You can also configure MacBook laptops with more memory (RAM), which will help the laptop perform better if your workflow involves many open apps and windows.
