I bought my first mcbook and was a M3 Pro chip , the only thing I envy from this year upgrades are the 24 GB unified memory vs the 18 gb that my mcbook has , but I can't complain so far is a formidable machine for the incoming years !
Got the m4 pro for college mainly just basic use. Chose the pro because the difference in price wasn’t major to me and I felt it would hold value longer.
@@patrickbateman516 I bought the M4 Pro base model, with 512 GB. If you really need storage an external SSD will suffice and save you money, especially considering that thunderbolt 5 SSD's will become more abundant soon.
Hi Matt without a doubt after watching your comparison video I'm going to buy the MacBook Pro M4 Pro you've answered all my questions. Keep up the good work mate.
I saw another video that compared the two, and the 12 core was only around 1,500 less in score. I think I’m going to go for the 12 core. I can’t justify $200 more for what was a 7% increase in performance. Not justifiable to me.
@@lasarith2 the 14 core is 22,000, up from around 19,000 on the 12 core, the 14 core is a fail this generation basically 7% performance for 20% more cost.
saving for the M4, bought the M1 about 2 years ago (my first Mac) and I was thoroughly impressed :). Would love the iPhone 16 ... still on iPhone 11 and I need to upgrade.
This is true, the M4 is louder on certain benchmarks. On other benchmarks like Final Cut Pro, it keeps the fans at a quiet speed. But we're talking like very heavy usage here, I personaly will never trigger the fans.
Really appreciate your practical advice. Looks like a 16-inch M4 Pro with 48 GB of RAM is right for my needs going forward. The nano-texture screen is also easy on the eyes and doesn’t detract from the colors or clarity as far as I can tell. Thanks for helping me find the right configuration for my workflow.
I wanted the Apple M4 Pro Mac Mini because I do video-editing for RUclips, but now I'm thinking that may be overkill. i think the base model seems like probably plenty! Thanks for the great videos!
I just purchased a Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro with a nearly 100% battery. Just love it for the moment. I would like now to pair it with a iPhone 15/16 Pro 256Go soon! Great video by the way!
I must upgrade from my dinosaur MacBook Pro 13, which recently became obsolete. I decided on the 14" M4 Pro because I plan to use it for school and am interested in machine-based learning. Thanks for your review!
I’m looking to get the m4 pro entry level and can’t wait had a 2020 intel MacBook Pro specked up a little and really and thrilled thanks for the great breakdown
Great video. I ordered the M4 Pro for designing houses and making videos. I have a 13" 2013 model that I've used for years but it's starting to glitch every now and then.
This has been the perfect video, I am looking at the M4. I think i'll be upgrading as the trade in value is not bad currently. Thanks for the great vid.
I would like to buy a MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro version. Thank you so much for explaining the differences between the M4 and the M4 pro. Super helpful!
I'm an architecture student and recently my laptop broke down after 10 years of use and I am thinking to switching to Macbook Pro for Autocad, 3D modeling and visualization so I hope I get the Macbook Pro M4 by the end of the year.
Thanks for the video, it really helped me decide between the M4/M4 Pro. I have been using a 2017 Macbook Pro up till now, and I have landed on going with the M4 Pro chip. Thanks!
I would have loved a real world battery life comparison between these 2, as i am deciding exactly between these 2 machines and battery life is a huge factor in my decision.
I will be getting the Apple MacBook Pro 14 inche-Build for Apple intelligence-24GB Memory-1TB-Space. I am interested in using this computer for various projects. Thank you
I plan to purchase a MacBook Pro Laptop (14-inch) - Apple M4 Pro Chip, Built for Apple Intelligence, 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB Memory, 512GB SSD Storage from Costco
Hey Matt I love your show so much. I’ve been watching for as long as I even remember. Even before I subscribe. I love how you format your videos with no bias just straight factual details. Most RUclipsrs are always nudging people into what to buy. You give the info and the specs and let us decide what to get next. Thank you for your work. And I already know I have bad luck I have never won any giveaways from you or any other content creator lol. But to the Mack book I have been saving up for the last 2 months from every paycheck is the MacBook Pro m4 pro with the 14 cpu and 20 gpu so I could really getting into learning to write code better. I’ve been using python and been getting a little better ever day. Thank you again for your shows I have never missed an episode and I hope u never stop creating them. Have a wonderful holiday for you and your family Matt.
The heaviest task I would do would be editing video. Only really I'm suggesting to get the m4 pro is for the 24Gb of ram. worth it? or is the base 16gb ram enough?
I'll be moving from a M1 (8GB) Mac Mini to a MacBook Pro M4. Despite the Pro version's added performance, the base model is still really compelling as an upgrade. It's a huge leap in these base models.

I bought a Macbook Air M3 in April, and in three years or so get the latest version of Macbook Pro. I also plan to upgrade by iPhone 12 to either version 17 or 18.
My 12 year old MacBook is showing its age now. Minor screen issue in upper right corner. Looking at the MacBook Pro M4 Pro chip machine with 48 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of storage in the 16” configuration. Time frame is sometime right after the first of the year. Only issue is standard screen or nano texture screen? Current generation is not future proofed without WiFi 7 and OLED screen, but this should be good enough for the next 8-10 years for my needs.
Matt - thanks for this video - it was super helpful in helping me decide what I need for my new Apple Macbook Pro purchase. I also want to get a new IPhone 16 this year (hoping to be the lucky chosen one). Thanks for what you do, I appreciate you!
Hi Matt, I already ordered M4 MBP and the reviews bash the base model a lot 😂 I'll try my luck with the return policy and get the M4 Pro MBP if there's major issues with it (fan noise, especially). I do plan to get an iPad Mini 7 at the end of the year to go with it, though. Buying an iPhone would be further down the line, and the transition would be complete. Let's see if my choice of going with the base model is going to be satisfying my newly-found content creation needs
I damaged my macbook Pro m2 14 due to water leakage, but luckily, I have my insurance cover for it. I am going to buy base M4, as it fits my student budget. Thank you for your good content and subscribed 😊
Main thing that was always holding me back from buying a Macbook was the 8GB RAM on the base models, now that they’ve doubled that it’s looking like I may look into a Macbook Air as they’re great value for money atm!
Thanks for the comparison. I ve just ordered my first macbook pro 14cpu m4 pro chip with 3350 dollars which is very expensive in Turkiye but 2 years warranty included. Hope that this decision is better for me.
Since I am going for the 16” MacBook Pro it comes with the 14 core. I upgraded to 1TB SSD. Space black. Stayed on the standard screen, looking at the nano I don’t like the matt finish. My machine is scheduled for pickup on the 18th of November. Hope it gets here earlier, so can have it over the weekend.
For me, as the M1pro user, I am also consider m4 or m4 pro, if I customize the m4 with nano texture and 24gb ram, does it worth? I just want to upgrade my MacBook for this xmas, this will be a great gift for me
Hi Matt, I had been a Mac guy most of my life (even certified technician in 2000). Back in 2017, I was feeling like apple no longer cared about the pro and I jumped ship. Built my own desktop and have surface pro and a powerful Lenovo workstation laptop. I also went to the android world. Fast-forward to today. The M series silicon is ridiculously powerful. I use davinci and a lot of other high-powered tools. I'm very much eyeballing the m4 pro laptops and awaiting the release of the Mac Studio M4's. I might miss my touchscreen for lighting software, though.
I'm struggling to decide whether if I want to get a new PC (the old one being broken for almost a year now) or this new Macbook Pro M4 (currently using the pre-2020 intel Macbook) 💀
My wife want my M1 Air so I need to buy a new. Puzzled if I just should buy the basic M4 or should I go for M4 Pro. Will do some RAW editing with Luminar Neo.
I just purchased the m4pro loaded with Final Cut Pro suite for educators. this coming year I am hoping to get new lights for my RUclips studio and perhaps a new microphone.
Thank you for your video. I will get the M4 Pro as I being searching for this kind of info and need to replace my old 2016 iMac. Will get the top of the line maxed as my iMac served proudly for almost 10 years and is still producing some money.
This was a great review. I am considering buying a MacBook. As it is, your review has convinced me that the M4 is too much technology for me. I will be looking at the M3. Thank you!
I think i will wait to see the 2025 Macbook Pro lineup to get one, performances are really astonishing but the design is not my favorite, especially this notch that I really don't like, and maybe the next one could also have an OLED display, or even better the Tandem Oled introduced this year with the iPad Pro
Trying to decide between the purchase of a M4 versus M4 Pro. Lots of photography, designs, and editing , some videos. Would love to ramp up and do more. Have questions regarding one fan versus two if planning to be on the MBP for most of the day. Also the amount of Ram and storage device. Photography, use or Lightroom and Photoshop take up a lot of space. Any suggestions?

saving for the M4, bought the M1 about 2 years ago (my first Mac) and I was thoroughly impressed :). Would love the iPhone 16 ... still on iPhone 11 and I need to upgrade.
I believe the M4 pro has two cooling fans, whereas the M4 has one
Waiting for Max Tech before I purchase one.
This is true, the M4 is louder on certain benchmarks.
On other benchmarks like Final Cut Pro, it keeps the fans at a quiet speed.
But we're talking like very heavy usage here, I personaly will never trigger the fans.
Really appreciate your practical advice. Looks like a 16-inch M4 Pro with 48 GB of RAM is right for my needs going forward.
