Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch review (2024): Brace yourself for M4 speed
- Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch have arrived with M4, M4 Pro chips, and M4 Max chips.
- M4 chip has 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU; M4 Pro chip has 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU while M4 Max has a 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU.
- The prices for more powerful chips escalate with the M4 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro starting at $1,999, while the M4 Max model at $3,199.
- New MacBook Pros feature MiniLED Liquid Retina XDR display that can reach up to 1,000 nits for SDR content.
- MacBook Pro's webcam has been upgraded to a 12-megapixel camera, enabling Center Stage, which can keep you in focus as you move around the room.
- Support for Thunderbolt 5 is also introduced to deal with large file transfers, supporting up to 120Gb/s speeds.
- M4 and M4 Pro chips show excellent performance in CPU, GPU, and Cinebench benchmarks. The M4 Pro's performance gap alone is equivalent to multi-threaded Geekbench 6 scores from other laptops this year.
- Both MacBook Pros are delivering excellent battery life with the 14-inch MacBook Pro lasting for 34 hours and 15 minutes and the 16-inch MacBook Pro going for 30 hours and 16 minutes.
- The new MacBook Pros are compelling if you need the raw power of the M4 Pro or Max chips, and you'll definitely see some notable performance gains from these machines.
- But if you've got an M2 or M3 MacBook Pro, the M4 hardware is less of a qualitative leap. You're probably better off waiting for the eventual OLED refresh, which is rumored to happen in 2026.
