Long long ago in 2013 I purchased a MacBook Pro. Even though it’s slow compared to today’s model, still the battery still lasts all day. That motivated me to purchase a new MacBook Pro. So far so good — the battery lasts all day; the functions are fast-moving. There seems to be plenty of horses under the hood to get the job done. I am pleased with my purchase.

I upgraded my 2015 MacBook Pro I7 with AMD Radeon R9 graphics card for this new M4 10 core gpu. Not thrilled about the upgrade, it does the job but considering the m4 hype, I was expecting more. My only use is for vdj mixing utilizing djay pro, serato and virtual DJ. The m4 entry level chip seems to struggle and freezes for about 20 seconds when challenged with multiple frames opened at the same time. It doesn’t happen often but enough times to be annoying. I should have gone for the M4 Pro with the 20 core GPU, thats double the cores for an extra $400, worth the price IMO. The Display is great, battery life is amazing, because of my needs, I’m having second thoughts on returning it. Just go for the m4 pro 24gb 1 TB, $2k worth the cost.

I loved this!! It’s perfect for school, even though it’s on the heavier side it works so smoothly and even has a 120 refresh rate. It’s worth it in my opinion.

This was a significant upgrade from a 2018 i5 MacBook Air. I primarily use it for photo and video editing, and it handles these tasks seamlessly without overheating or long rendering times. I can use the laptop for approximately 3-4 days without recharging if I'm only doing school work and watching videos or movies. When editing photos or videos, it can comfortably last the entire day.

Overall performance is great. Good for what I need for professional, home and/or school use.
