What we've learned selling MacBook in Kenya
MacBook is the single product we get the most upgrade questions about in Kenya — buyers are usually deciding between Air vs Pro, base vs Pro chip, and the silent third option: "should I just buy last year's MacBook instead." These are the conversations we have weekly.
MacBook Air or MacBook Pro — the honest cut
If you spend most of the day in a browser, an IDE, Slack and Zoom, the MacBook Air M5 is genuinely all the laptop you need — and it is silent because it is fanless. The Pro becomes worth its premium specifically when you compile large codebases, edit 4K+ video, run local LLMs, or push sustained loads for more than 20 minutes. Most Kenyan office users are buying more MacBook than they will ever use; we will tell you that in the showroom rather than upsell you.
The 16GB → 24GB / 32GB upgrade on Pro is the regret-most-often spec
If you are buying a MacBook Pro, the memory upgrade is the one to make. macOS and modern dev tools are happier with 24GB+ headroom — Docker Desktop, an IDE, a browser with 30 tabs, and a local LLM tool will fill 16GB faster than buyers expect. The KSh 30,000–50,000 memory step now is cheaper than realising you under-bought eight months in.
14-inch or 16-inch Pro — depends on whether you ever leave the office
The 14-inch Pro is the genuinely portable Pro. The 16-inch is a desktop replacement you carry in a bag occasionally. If you commute daily on matatu / boda or fly often, 14 inches is right. If your laptop mostly lives docked on a desk and you want the bigger screen for 8–10-hour days, 16 inches is right. Performance per chip tier is identical between them — the difference is screen and battery, not power.
Battery life beats almost everything Windows ships in Kenya
Real-world: 18–20 hours of mixed coding and meetings on a single charge for the M5 / M5 Pro Air and Pro is normal. This matters more in Kenya than in markets with reliable power — Nairobi power cuts and matatu commutes mean the laptop you can ignore the charger for is the laptop you actually use. The cheaper Windows alternative routinely runs out at lunch.
Warranty in Kenya — why iTey handles it on your behalf
Apple's official AppleCare service network in East Africa is limited. For grey-market MacBook buyers, the realistic warranty path is shipping the laptop to Dubai or Johannesburg at owner cost — 2–4 weeks turnaround, several hundred dollars in freight. iTey processes warranty claims on your behalf via our direct supplier relationships. The price gap between us and grey-market sellers is largely this service.
Who should not buy a MacBook (yet)
We will say it: a MacBook is the wrong laptop if you (a) need to run Windows-only enterprise software with no macOS or web equivalent, (b) game on AAA Windows titles — gaming laptops with NVIDIA GPUs are still ahead there, or (c) are buying primarily because of brand pressure rather than a workflow that uses what macOS does well. If your colleague got one and you feel left out, that is not a workflow.
