Hi,

I know this website is for Windows, but I cannot find no where for Mac advice, I'm new with Mac and I've only purchased iPads and iPhones and wanting to take a big jump into the world of MacBooks, which would you guys recommend for a total noob on the Mac OS. I'm looking at these, but not sure if I'm doing right.

Apple MacBook Pro 14 or 16-inch

THankyou
