Best value Mac: Which is the best £1249 Mac to buy

Apple sells a number of Macs at the magic price point of £1,249 (in the US that’s $1,299). We wonder why Apple set on £1,249 as a price which so many Macs would have in common. We don’t have the answer to that, but we do have the answer of which Mac offers the best value for money when compared to other Macs sold for £1,249. Read on to find out.

While you can buy cheaper Macs, those Macs are often so undervalued that the saving really isn’t adequate enough to justify the compromise on features. For example, the entry level iMac costs £1,049, but lacks so many of the features of the next model up that we would always recommend ignoring that model.

Similarly, there are older Macs that Apple is still selling at a lower price, like the Mac mini and the MacBook Air, but we would warn against buying these Macs as we think that they are priced higher than they should be, considering their age.

So, given that we would rule out any Mac that costs less than £1,249, here’s how the line up of £1,249 Macs shapes up.
