With a new chip and a handful of quality of life improvements, the M4 MacBook Pro has reached new heights.
Even brighter display ; Fantastic 12MP webcam ; Record-breaking performance ; Best-in-class keyboard and trackpad ; All the ports you want, now faster ; Speakers so good you'll ditch your headphones
Still no OLED ; The 16-inch model is quite heavy

Apple's flagship M4 laptops won't wow you with flashy features or fresh designs, but they're almost so polished that you can't complain.
For the same price as last year's MacBook Pro models, the M4 variants -- particularly the base configuration -- offer notable upgrades in performance, utility, and battery life. The introduction of Thunderbolt 5 ports, an M4 processor that's better...

It's sturdy, reliable, crazy efficient, but the graphic performance could be stronger.
Great design ; Easy to set up and use ; Fantastic for static visual creative pursuits
Graphic performance underwhelms ; Mucho expensive
The Apple MacBook Pro (M4, 2024) won't surprise anyone who's been near one of its predecessors. It's incredibly well built, the screen is predictably great and it's loaded with a bunch of ease-of-use features for anyone, plus the addition of Apple...

The latest MacBook Pro 14 from Apple keeps the design unchanged, but with the new M4 chipset and a nano-texture screen there is enough inside it to make it the best general-purpose laptop money can buy.
Fast performance ; Great display ; macOS and software ; Great hardware
Expensive upgrades
