I got my MacBook Pro 16 inch M4 one week ago and it is amazing in every respect. Completely stunning machine with blistering speed and it just sips power.
I've been running my M4 Pro Macbook as a daily driver since release day. Great purchase, unlike most expensive things I buy, I haven't had a single bit of buyer's remorse. Even as a lifelong windows user.
I upgraded my MacBook Pro after 10 years, and I am delighted with M4 Pro chip, 16 inches display, Touch ID, nano texture, finally a proper Pro camera, 12 mp , Center stage plus desk view, in beautiful space black, and having the latest MacOS. My late 2014 MacBook Pro, 15”, is still working with an older OS, and although it hasn’t any of the latest features and latest specs, I cannot let it go yet. It is still a beautiful machine, good friend for the past 10 years. Thank you Greg, and Apple ❤
I upgraded from a 13" M1 MacBook Air 16gb to a 14" M4 Pro 24gb/512gb just for the ability to display 2 external monitors. I don't need more drive space as I use dropbox and iCloud but I did want more memory and the cost of going from the M4 32gb to the M4 Pro 24gb was equal so I figured the M4 Pro architecture was better for the same price.
do u like it? im gonna give the m1 mba to my mom and i just ordered the m4 14" mbp 1tb, hope it's a worthwhile upgrade. i love watching videos while i shower but can barely hear the mba speakers so im hoping the pro is louder.
I just ordered this, upgrading from my dinosaur late 2013 MacBook Pro. I’m super excited. I was going to get the base M4 but decided to get the M4 Pro after comparing deals and cash back.
Anyone who says the macbooks are not gaming laptops is objectively wrong. Sure, there are not that many games out there as compared to a windows or even linux machine. But the hardware, if the games existed, would cut it. So yes Greg, you are right. You have a gaming laptop, that's just truth. Just wish you could use it as such a lot more
My first MacBook was a 2009 MBP 13”. Then a 2013 MBA 11”. Now I’ve been rocking at 2015 MBP 13” with the 3.7ghz I7, 16GB Ram and 2TB SSD. It’s been working great for me for years. Just ordered an M4pro 14” with 1TB SSD and 24GB Ram. I can’t wait to upgrade. I hope it’s night and day for multi tasking. Mostly excited about battery
I got the max version...worried about less battery life and thermal throttling but I just cant get over how good the form factor is. Really hope it's not too bad.
@@MatthewVlossakmore ram but if you are a normal user 24gb is more than enough as if you hit ram limitations there is no way you can upgrade for ssd you can always buy a external one
16" M4 Max here. A remarkable machine, but a significant challenge for non-touch typists. The key gaps are now black, even on the silver model-a true nightmare for those who rely on visual aiming when typing.
The nanotex is absolutely beautiful and far better for the eyes and brain health long term. There is very little noticeable difference. The matte-like screen is soothing for the eyes and brain.

Is the nano texture looks crisp and sharp? I really need to know cuz I am a logo designer and need the extra sharpness, if it is not noticeable then will go the nano one! Anyone can tell me?
Physics tells you that the additional coating will cause some losses. Also, off axis you may see color shift. The question is by how much and how much can you tolerate.
@@Steve-n7t I agree, unfortunately I live in Egypt and can have both to compare, so I decided to go with the glossy one just not to miss the extra sharpness and contrast these two can help me improve my design work!
Is rendering various effects faster in Final Cut with m4 pro vs m4. The export time is not the relevant but I find m4 takes a bit of time when you apply certain effects to a clip in Final Cut… Will that be quicker with a pro or max chip
Bought a base m4 14 inch MacBook Pro(had an intel 15 inch before) on sale for personal use and since I’m not going to use all the time was tempted to get a m4 pro but don’t need all that horsepower and I mainly use a 16 inch m2 pro for work 😅
Seeing some reviews stating that the M4 Pro has noticeably shorter battery life compared to the base M4. I feel like the base M4 hits the sweet spot in the current laptop lineup (Air & Pro) between performance and battery life. The 16GB, 1TB MacBook Pro M4 is on sale for $1,599 right now. That's a good price for the performance and specs.
Do you know how to get the data in iMessages on the iPad to stop going up? I'm not even using it and the data keeps going up. Does this happen to you? I noticed it after the iPadOS 18 update. It happened before on my first gen iPad mini. If this keeps up, so much for getting a Mac.
Im planning on upgrading, as I have an M1 macbook air, its a 256gb model and its not even halfway full! Unless you wanna do video editing the 512 is more than enough.
@@freshauthor24681do you think if I were to have 2 separate external SSDs 512gb wouldn’t be a problem, I plan to do 4k video editing with my X4 and work on creating my own STL files for 3D printing, there’s a decent deal on exactly what I’ve been looking for minus the 1TB I was really hoping for
@ I absolutely recommend getting external SSDs for MacBook content creation or any other large storage requirement task. Apple’s premium on storage is insane, so I absolutely recommend using 2 external 512 gb ssds.

Unlikey the Pro Macs will get a major upgrade until Apple has their own 5G chips and WiFi chips fully checked out . If the SE iPhone uses Apple Silicon for 5G cellular and it proves to work then that opens the Pros to have 5G connectivity. Maybe even with Apple 5G service (Another service revenue stream for Tim). The convergence of more connectivity with Apple's own silicon opens open a chassis as well an OLED screen upgrade. It may not be in 2025 but no later than fall 2026.
That would be awesome! That would solve so many issues, including MBP users that are still students, working from anywhere without needing a phone or hotspot would be surreal. Sure hope that you're assumption is correct!

Starting to have buyers remorse on buying the Mac mini since I have a M4 IPad Pro. Lately I’ve been wanting to do some coding in bed or on the go, but can’t really do that on the iPad. I have a few days left to return the Mac mini. Should I?
I debated this exact question, and based on my usage (which sounds somewhat similar to yours) I ended up going with a MacBook Pro (base M4) 16GB / 1TB, and an iPad Mini. (You could also go up to the 11" iPad Air or Pro depending on your needs). This configuration may be slightly more expensive, but for me at least, is proving to be MUCH more flexible.
I have the 13” M4 iPad Pro 16/1 tb. I’m thinking about getting the 14” M4 pro model that he’s talking about. Will use it to learn some coding and gaming with parallels and windows 11.

Switched from Windows AMD Laptop to MBP 16 M4 Pro. It’s hard to learn new Keyboard but it was worth it!
If you could only choose one, would you recommend more RAM or more SSD?
More SSD for me personally
More RAM, just get a fast external drive for those files that you don't need to travel with you.
You'll notice more SSD all the time. You'll only notice more RAM if you actually have use for it. 24 GB is the base RAM, so it's not like it's gimped.

I need to confirm, so you say it's better to spend on ram than a increase in cores?
