Apple's M4 MacBook Pro is rumored to launch in the next few weeks and is expected to come with an M4 chip, giving it a significant performance boost.
It's likely to be priced higher than previous models, although no concrete details have been released yet.
Benchmarks have shown that the M4 chip inside the MacBook Pro is about 27% and 31% higher in single-core and multi-core scores, respectively, than the M3 chip.
Specs-wise, the M4 has a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB of memory, and a base clock of 4.41GHz.
The MacBook Pro may come with an OLED display, given its shared display engine with the M4 chip in the iPad Pro, although not until 2025 at the earliest.
There might not be many design changes, with the exception of three Thunderbolt ports and a Space Black color option.
The M4 MacBook Pro will come with significant software upgrades, such as Apple Intelligence, which lets the Mail app categorize your emails, Siri, and a new Passwords app.
Some Apple Intelligence features won’t launch until 2025, and there are rumors of an Apple Intelligence+ suite of advanced AI features that could be a paid software bundle.
The M4 MacBook Pro is expected to be the entry-level model, so we can expect that there will be more advanced chips in the M4 lineup as well.
We should learn more about the launch date and pricing during Apple's upcoming announcement, expected to happen between October 21 and October 22.
