"Besides the improvements to Apple's proprietary AI, Apple Intelligence, the MacBook M4 Pro and M4 Max have some hardware upgrades -- notably, the USB-C Thunderbolt 5 ports -- becoming some of the first laptops on the market to support faster than 120Gbps transfer speeds, 240W charging, and even better performance with external monitors. For professional creatives who use external GPUs and need a portable system that can move large files in a flash, this alone could make the MacBook Pro M4 a worthy upgrade."
"Speaking of displays, the mini LED on the MacBook Pro M4 -- with 1,000 nits of brightness at SDR and 1,600 nits at HDR -- pairs well with the nano-texture coating, resulting in one of the best-looking laptop displays I've seen. The matte layering reduces glare and makes it look better under indoor lighting, while the sheer brightness makes for a high-end visual experience for entertainment and creative tasks."
"The M4's battery life is also improved over its predecessors. Apple advertises up to 24 hours of battery life, the first for any Mac. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro or M4 Max get the full-day rating, while the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro or M4 Max falls just short at 22 hours."
The M4 MacBook Pro improves on the M3 Pro and M3 Max with smoother performance and greater power efficiency while retaining last year's starting price and new promotional discounts. The M4 Pro and M4 Max add USB-C Thunderbolt 5 ports that enable transfer speeds faster than 120Gbps, 240W charging, and improved external monitor handling. The mini-LED display delivers 1,000 nits SDR and 1,600 nits HDR brightness and pairs with a nano-texture matte coating to reduce glare for superior visuals. Battery life is increased, with Apple advertising up to 24 hours on select models and up to 22 hours on some configurations.
