Apple has introduced the MacBook Pro based on the M4 family of chips

Apple has released a breakthrough new product — the MacBook Pro powered by M4 processors. According to the brand itself, this is the best professional laptop. The engineers not only improved the performance of the devices using M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, but also paid attention to other characteristics. This set includes increased RAM, an Apple Intelligence neural network, an advanced 12-megapixel camera, and more. What else will please the new products with diagonals of 14 and 16 inches — read below.

Processors of the M4 family — a revolution for laptops

The M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chipsets have become the most advanced for laptops in terms of performance. The powerful processors are based on the 3rd-nanometer technology of the 2nd generation. They allow you to create content, develop software, and model on a completely different level. And in general, to perform any tasks on a MacBook Pro.

Laptops were created for the Apple Intelligence neural network.

Interacting with her on the device is a pleasure. The process is proceeding smoothly thanks to the advanced Neural Engine (they are 3 times more powerful than the neural core on M1).

Apple Intelligence will be available in December. You can evaluate its capabilities after installing macOS Sequoia 15.1. For the first time, you will be able to use only one language version — American English.

The 14-inch MacBook Pros are available on the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max, while the 16-inch models are only available on the latter two chips. These devices are several steps above the early models.

MacBook Pro with M4

The advantage of the MacBook Pro is not only the new M4 chip, but also the increased memory bandwidth. It was raised to 120 GB/s. This duo noticeably accelerated the novelty in comparison with 13-inch devices.:

With the M4, a lot of tabs load immediately on a laptop, high-resolution (4K) video processing is fast, and group video calls do not hang. All programs open instantly, and neural network software just flies.

Faster, more powerful, more enjoyable — MacBook Pro on M4 Pro

Compared to its predecessor on the M1 Pro, the M4 Pro processor has improved memory bandwidth by 75%. This makes heavy programs run faster.

On a laptop, you can edit 8K videos, edit gigapixel panoramas, and work with volumetric codes. Even with millions of lines, the process will be smooth — just a delight. And of course, in this model you will have an assistant — Apple Intelligence.

MacBook Pro with M4 Max — for large-scale projects

The technique is suitable for high volume and high complexity tasks. This is guaranteed by multiple CPU and GPU cores, decent RAM, and memory bandwidth (546 GB/s). In terms of performance, the device is not inferior to a progressive desktop computer.

Thanks to the M4 Max processor, the MacBook Pro works perfectly with neural networks, 3D content, 8K video recordings and VR models.

A laptop can easily pull LLM — large language models that can contain up to 200 billion variables.

A bonus to all the features of the professional model is the Media Engine with two ProRes accelerators. This set allows you to instantly process 4K video (120 frames per second) from the iPhone 16 Pro.

Not only hardware: what else has been improved in the MacBook Pro M4

It’s not just the processor that’s been improved in the laptop.

• RAM has been increased to 16 GB (basic version). On the MacBook Pro M4 Max, it is possible to expand the RAM by 8 times — up to 128 GB. This improves the loading of large, resource-intensive programs and the support of neural network functions.
• Two screens are connected to the laptop (even four for the M4 Max models). At the same time, the main display remains in operation mode.

• The brightness of the Liquid Retina XDR screen has been improved. When broadcasting SDR content, it stays at 1000 nits. For HDR content with increased contrast, the indicator increases to 1600 nits. All the images are perfectly visible even in a room flooded with sunlight. If desired, you can order a nanotextural coating for the display — with it the screen will not glare.
• The base model is equipped with three Type-C connectors with Thunderbolt 4 support. The devices on the M4 Pro and M4 Max have advanced further — they support Thunderbolt 5 with a data transfer rate of 120 GB/s. It is possible to connect even an audio studio.

• All laptops in the line have an HDMI connector (can transmit video in up to 8K resolution), ports for headphones, MagSafe 3 charging, and SDXC cards.
• Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 are responsible for the stability and high speed of file transfer.
• The 12 MP camera retains picture quality even in low light conditions. She has two chips. Center Stage frames the image so that you are always in the center. With Desk View, you can show what is on the table.
• Microphones (comparable in quality to studio equipment) and 6 speakers with Spatial Audio combined into one system are responsible for good sound. Connoisseurs of high-quality sound will like it.
• The MacBook Pro on the M4 family chipsets will last 24 hours without charging.

The line was released in shades of Silver and Space Black. Recycled aluminum is used for the production of housings. The packaging is made of wood fiber, also with concern for the environment.

Choosing a new MacBook Pro model

MacBook Pro М4 it will close all the tasks of a student, businessman, photographer and people of creative professions. The laptop is ideal for professional processing of any type of content: video, audio recordings, graphics.

MacBook Pro на M4 Pro — an excellent choice for programmers, architects, and engineers. The device will be a good helper for developers when writing codes. Graphic editors (AutoCAD, Blender) are just flying: ideal conditions to create drawings and 3D graphics.

MacBook Pro с M4 Max — one of the best portable computers for working with neural networks. You can easily create 3D animations and voice movies on the device. It impresses with its performance, which will be appreciated by all professionals: from scientists to composers.

The models are available in different configurations.
