Some might be more familiar with Apple’s phones and tablets but the company’s Mac laptops are among the best around, especially if you’re already ensconced in the Apple ecosystem. The latest MacBook Pro models have all of the latest and most advanced hardware and we’re big fans of their long-lasting batteries and superior performance. But, as is often the case with Apple’s high-end products, buying the latest M4 MacBook Pro is an expensive business.
The performance on these machines just got a major upgrade. In October 2024, Apple announced the latest MacBook Pros will feature the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max processors. The M4 chips increase the CPU core count from the M3 and promise better AI performance with a new neural engine. This chip was first seen in the iPad Pro, followed by the iMac. The M4 MacBook Pro is available in stores and online.
