I'm really loving this era of MacBooks where you can pick up anything dating back to 2-3 years and get better performance than most comparable latest Windows laptops!
@@Rusty01 Hard disagree. As the other guy mentioned, the competition hasn’t even comfortably gotten close to the efficiency and power of the M1 Pro and Max. Unless you get a spec’d out model with a dGPU, it’s not comparable
@adequatequality only thing m series have is efficiency. You can't tell me that any apple laptop is beating a 5090 laptop in gpu tasks 😭😭 and a 5090 mobile is like a 5070 on desktop.
For everyone who is still considering: I got the exact same model and after a week of using I'd go for exactly this one again. Absolutely loving the size, color and everything about it. And I personally wouldn't buy the nano texture display because the price difference is so much more that 150 USD if you compare it to amazon or different dealers. Glossy is good but I wouldn't pay 400 USD more (because nano display is just available at apple as I know). Great video!
For creators, it is the best laptop a creator can get. Best in class CPU, excellent iGPU, 120hz with 1920 resolution, good ports for creators, excellent web camera AI, and reliable build. Added bonus, Apple increased the base RAM to 24 GB of RAM. FYI... the RAM speed increased from previous years to 7500 Mhz. So, buyers get more RAM and faster RAM.
I got the 16 inch unbinned M4 pro with 48 gb of ram. The weight don’t bother me but I am a big guy so having the wider footprint makes typing on the keyboard more comfortable. This is my first MacBook and I love it.
I want a personal upgrade for my data science and ML work, and possibly some light gaming, but no windows laptops can compare to what the M4 Pro can provide. I have not made the jump yet, as I still use my SP7 for taking notes and such but just want to reward myself. Any windows users in here that have gone back and forth between switching but eventually did? I like the idea of the Zephyrus G14 since it comes with a nvidia GPU but it seems the battery life and performance outside of the GPU is lacking.
I maybe a bit sad with how powerful M4 series are. While in reality, I just prefer alternatives that still powerful enough and has lower or better pricing
I have a m4 pro MacBook Pro space black. It shows fingerprints and dust more than any computer made. You will need a microfiber cleaning cloth all the time. I can't keep it clean. I still love this computer a lot. The screen is the best thing about it.
I don't really understand this. I also have the space black, and it is... fine? I have very greasy hands, and the nastiest part of my whole computer is the screen, which I find awful due to the glossy coating. Also, the black keyboard gets shiny and gross (not the permanent damage I mean), but that is the same for all models. But the shell is fine, lol. You can definitely notice smudges, but it's a work machine, not a piece of art. :-) And they are not THAT bad. I wipe it down with some alcohol and a microfiber maybe twice a week. It looks amazing after the wipe, but it's perfectly manageable otherwise as well.
@@vhateg honestly I don't have problems with the smudges since I'm the type to clean my screen and keyboard after I use it also I'm mostly using a Bluetooth keyboard. My biggest concern is really on the paint chipping because I have to constantly plug in and out a USB hub and the audio jack. The space black does look pretty though.

the fact that a mac M1 can be enough for any 4K video and programmers for example AI engineer here it requires M4 max / M4 pro with a lot of ram otherwise all the other workloads an M4 is enough but people buy an M4 pro thanks to marketing and also the desire to brag to not have the base model people say to keep it for a long time they replace it in 4 years with apple marketing
@@BeeRoyLee yes they do it's called space black not space grey that's probably why you couldn't find it but you can get a best buy, apple store, and other retail sellers in america. Or you can even order online from the apple store and get it shipped.........
the base version itself is good enough for most people. and macbook pros last forever. apple sucks overall but this is the one thing they do really well,
It's because it's primarily a long-term investment and you should also look at the Air for most use cases. Unless you're VERY heavy into professional graphical work or development, you don't need this much power. This sucker is meant to last 5+ years so pay for it as such
Design "language", a new apple word for it's the same like 10 years ago.Yeah i mean there is nothing like a pro laptop with 4 ports, it's not like you're going to use it for anything else than taking photos of it doing nothing at the end of the day. Seriously if anyone wants performance for their dollar, just get a Thinkpad, your life will be better, and most of all it will actually be worth the price fuck that this paying 4k for storage and a what is the most handicapped paid Linux distribution on the market. Before you make a stupid uneducated comment, currently on my laptop i have 2 monitors connected, audio, keyboard, mouse, camera, microphone, a scanner, and i still have 2 more free usb-c ports without a single dongle, so yeah those of us that actually use these machines professional know better than apple snake salesman.
24 gigs of ram is weak keep in mind the GPU uses the same ram and takes what it needs when it needs for graphics you need more GPU power then CPU , no offence but most people screw up on ram configs on macs and pcs both because they dont realize once you take out the ram for the OS it self all you have left has to run programs and Video power is the left over ram once the OS takes what it wants.. so ya 24 is weak 16 is worse 64 in the min really especially for the stuff your talking about doing
@@christosbinos8467 well once you learn about apple silicon then youll understand also you have to learn how OS Ram main app and GPU ram works as well. so many of you all buy the wrong configurations when it comes to these machines .. maybe once iam caught up on my other videos ill do a Video to explain all this stuff
24GB of memory generally speaking is more than sufficient for a high end productivity workflow, of course more RAM will be helpful with more GPU intensive tasks like you mentioned. Our test did not indicate 24GB of RAM as being insufficient. Mac OS will generally hob between 2-4g of ram.

as someone who is really not a fan of apple for literally ANY product, I will never let anyone diss the macbook pros.
Efficiency yes. Performance well it depends on what U do
@@Rusty01Honestly M1 Pro holds up very well with current X Elite and Lunar Lake chips even GPU wise it holds up with current iGPUs

Got the m3 pro last year. Still love mine! Best computer I’ve ever owned.
The M3 series are great machines. Glad you are enjoying yours!
i actually upgraded from my 16 inch M3 Pro back to a 14 inch but the M4 Pro version. power and efficiency at its finest
Glad to hear you're enjoying the new machine!
My M1 Pro still rocking fast and smooth. Won’t change until release of 2nm chip 🙏
Underrated channel.
Deserves way more subs and views.
Thanks for the support, means a lot!

M4 Pro MBP is the best purchase i've made in a LONGGG time. such an amazing Machine
They are amazing computers!
why do you have christmas music for the intro lolol 🤣. silly man

Sounds like a great setup for you! Enjoy the new machine.
Background music is still Christmas. 😃
Great vid, love the new hat 🧢!
Appreciate it, gotta rep the team 😎
The hat was a gift from a dear brother and fan :)
Using m1 pro 14 😂 loving the product even today. It is working excellent without any issue 😅
The M1 series are great machines. Glad you are enjoying yours!
I think the silver version is still the best!

There is no space grey MBP M4. I believe it's a space black.
Yup, was a verbal error on my end (out of habit)
It is space black color.
Yup, made a verbal typo
Great video!!!
Thank you!!

"Look at him yearning
Desirous
His craving, his hunger
Constant needs, constant wants
Nothing will quell
Nothing will slake
Insatiable vacuous man
Hollow and see through
His emptiness has made him frail
That dying thing still believes
Others drive the nails
Incendiary god complex
Such gift to flammable man
This is what it made of him
This is what remains
Behold, how he devours
Unappeasable and cursed
That arid soul, famished and desiccated
I am that thirst
His gluttony can not be stilled
This state can never be reversed
Hollow and empty
Endlessly" - Meshuggah, I am that thirst
I think you might be surprised at how well this computer can run a lot of AAA games. It works well on the game I play WoW.
I don't doubt it, just sucks that there arent that many games on mac.
I am an AMD lover, but I won't move to a new laptop until Zen 6 releases 😅
Btw, are you by Indian/Pakistani by any chance?
Wow... very similar setup... MB M1 Pro 16" + Edifiers MR4 + Dell P3223QE =D
Great taste in peripherals :)
8:10 That NVIDIA image inability to center stressed me out lol

Where did you get the little clock from?
I believe I should have a link in the video description.
how doe's it happen that you have microfiber ina box, and my 16" version do not have?
The nano texture display version comes with it.
I brought silver....
Nice!
Where did you find a space grey m4 pro?
Apple Store
@ they don’t have space grey M4 in America. Which country did you purchase from?
@@BeeRoyLee yes they do it's called space black not space grey that's probably why you couldn't find it but you can get a best buy, apple store, and other retail sellers in america. Or you can even order online from the apple store and get it shipped.........
@@BeeRoyLee I believe it's called Space Black on the website (I likely called it space grey out of habit).
@@SoulOfTech okay that makes sense. I really prefer space grey but black was only option.
which macbook background is it???
Link in video description.
@@SoulOfTechplease Check it again there is no link for the wallpaper :/
@@SoulOfTech hello please tell me
24gb RAM is not the base modell. There is another version with 16GB RAM and a it less powerfull gpu
I believe you are referring to the M4 chip. This is the base model of the M4 Pro variant.
1:52 Microfiber cloth ? My MacBook Pro did not have it.
Only seems to come with the nano texture display
Subbed.
It sucks in pricing!

It's a great machine. Whole heartedly disagree about the keyboard though, it's mediocre at best.
