Q: Which Macbook models support Gigabit-speed Internet BOTH wired (thunderbolt adapter fine) AND wifi (specs are unclear and inconsistent)?

I just upgraded to 1 GB Fiber Internet - YAY - only to learn that my existing laptop cannot go over 100 MB - BOO. It's not old and not cheap, so, goodbye Windows, hello Mac! (Was switching over at next purchase anyway as I use Macs for work).

 

In comparing Macbook models, I cannot figure out which ones support BOTH Gigabit speed when wired (thunderbolt adapter is fine if gigabit supported by machine) AND Gigabit WiFi. I saw one spec that said 801n was gigabit and 801ac was not, which I thought was the opposite of reality, so I do not trust the spec sheets, and I really do not trust sales people to know this information.

 

Models to consider:

-Only current/new models, so no worries about older ones

-Macbook Air and Pro models, so no worries about the Macbook

 

Help!

 

Thanks
