MacBooks work seamlessly with other Apple devices—like the iPhone, iPad, and AirPods Pro 2—which is often true of any family of products but is particularly auto-magical in this ecosystem. For other devices, the questions are whether there will be extra hassle during the initial setup or if special adapters are needed. Whether you like the minimalism or see it as stingy, MacBooks notoriously have fewer ports (and less variety) than many PC counterparts.
