This MacBook Pro is insanely fast! The M4 Max chip handles everything I throw at it, video editing, design work, and tons of apps open at once with no slowdown. The screen is gorgeous and super bright, and the new Space Black color looks amazing (just shows fingerprints a bit). Battery lasts surprisingly long for how powerful it is. Pricey, but if you need a laptop that can do it all, this one’s worth it.

First off, I want to start by saying this computer is absolutely amazing. I can flawlessly run multiple intensive applications at once like Lightroom classic. Photoshop. And davinci resolve. The battery is phenomenal and can last multiple days with a few hours of use each time. The screen is super bright and high quality that it makes editing photos so much more satisfying.
With that being said, this computer still can get quite warm sitting on your lap while in applications like Lightroom classic, but it’s not too uncomfortable. Gaming is a not something I would consider great on these machines. While the gpu is impressive, it still struggles to run games like rust. I did see rocket league was over 100 fps but haven’t had a chance to try on my own yet. Overall, I love this computer. Thanks for reading my review.

Each year I'm disappointed that BestBuy does not off the highest end MacBook Pro (with the most processors, more RAM, and enhanced screen), but this one is a solid offering all the same.
One downside to the MacBook Pro, however, is that it continues to buck the trend of touchscreens - so my kids and wife are constantly trying to touch the screen like they do their iPads and iPhones.
While the iPad launching the M4 was a HUGE leap forward from the prior generation M2, the move from the M3 Max to the M4 Max on the MacBook Pro didn't drastically change things for me. It feels like it is marginally faster but the laptop physically looks identical to the M3 Max. This is thicker than the Intel-based MacBook Pros of the past, but feel durable and sturdy. I certainly recommend the 14" vs the 16" if you plan on actually using it as a laptop (I travel with mine constantly - and even the couple of inch difference makes a big difference in portability and weight).
Overall 4.5/5

Cons:
- A bit heavier and bulkier than previous generations.

I love my MacBook Pro. I have owned one for over 20 years. I will always choose Apple. Through work, I use a PC daily. I prefer Mac all day everyday. This is an excellent machine with lots of power and memory. Battery life is longer, multiple programs running smoothly and terrific display, so crisp and clear.

I recently purchased the MacBook Pro and I couldn't be happier with my investment. This machine is exceptionally fast—faster than our previous Mac, even though it’s only a few years older. The quality of the MacBook Pro has truly transformed our busy schedule by eliminating frustrating processing times, allowing us to focus on our work.
As someone who regularly runs large programs like Photoshop and Lightroom, I can confidently say that this laptop handles everything seamlessly. Video editing is also a breeze, with no lag or issues to report.
I'm so impressed with its performance that I plan to order another one soon. I highly recommend the MacBook Pro to anyone in need of a powerhouse computer that can tackle demanding tasks with ease!

I recently purchased this product, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The build quality is outstanding, and it performs exceptionally well for all my tasks. The battery life is fantastic, lasting much longer than I expected, even with heavy usage. The display is crystal clear, and the speed is remarkable. Overall, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliability, power, and great design. Also got the great discount from Best Buy !!!

Fastest laptop I’ve ever owned & battery life is way better than my prior MacBook Pro. Price is ridiculously expensive of course and probably not worth it, but I only upgrade once every 5 years. But really, Apple doesn’t need a Best Buy review, I’m just here for the sweepstakes.

Top notch build quality and super fast performance that only Apple can develop. Use it primarily for software development and Xcode SwiftUI previews annd Swift compilations are a breeze on this. deliberately future proofed by choosing the Pro Max edition.

Great little MBP. Can do a lots of apps simultaneously without a hitch, or overheating. I like the number of available USB-C ports. I connect a docking station and use the USB-C for power input, docking station for two external monitors, ethernet, external disks. Worked like a charm the very first time I connected. I run a lot of AI modeling, and this little laptop just breezes through these.
MacBook Pro 14” with M-series Max: From “Doing Fin

I was perfectly happy with my MacBook Air. We had a great relationship. It was light, dependable, and never complained when I asked it to juggle emails, spreadsheets, Canva designs, and 47 open browser tabs at once.
But then I did a very dangerous thing… I started my own business.
Suddenly my MacBook Air and I were having late-night talks like, “I’m tired,” and “Please close one app.” That’s when I realized it wasn’t failing me—I was just asking it to run a small digital empire.
Enter the MacBook Pro 14” with the Max chip.
This thing doesn’t handle my workload—it laughs at it. Video editing? Smooth. Heavy multitasking? Effortless. Large files, design software, business tools all running at once? No fan noise, no lag, no judgment. Just pure, quiet power.
The screen is stunning, the battery life feels illegal, and everything opens so fast I sometimes forget I even clicked it. I swear it anticipates my thoughts. If Apple adds mind-reading next, I won’t be surprised.
The best part? I still get the sleek Apple design I love, but now I have the muscle to grow my business without worrying if my laptop is about to stage a protest

Worth the Switch: My Black Friday Deal on the Mac

As someone who recently switched from Windows, the MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 Max chip has been an incredible upgrade, and getting it as a Black Friday deal made it even better! The performance is outstanding—it handles everything from multitasking to resource-heavy applications like a breeze. The 36GB of memory and 1TB SSD offer lightning-fast speeds and plenty of storage, while the Liquid Retina XDR display is absolutely stunning for creative work. The transition to macOS has been seamless, and the Space Black finish is just beautiful. It was a great deal, and I couldn’t be happier with the switch. Highly recommend!

I've always purchased the largest screen MBP models thus far but I decided to try the 14" this time.
It took a while for me to get used to the small screen but if you have a larger external display, this shouldn't be a deal breaker.
16" models are heavier so my back thanked me for buying this one =)
Performance is extra ordinary and the speakers sound great!
While battery life would depend on tasks you perform, I've been operating on battery mostly and it seems to hold up the charge pretty well.

I’ve been extremely impressed with this MacBook from the moment I turned it on. The performance is incredibly fast and smooth, even when running multiple applications at once. Everything from web browsing to heavier tasks like photo editing and multitasking feels effortless. The battery life has also exceeded my expectations—I can easily get through a full workday without needing to recharge.
The display is sharp and vibrant, making it great for both work and entertainment. The build quality feels premium and durable, and the keyboard and trackpad are comfortable and responsive. I also appreciate how quiet it runs, even under heavier workloads.
Overall, this MacBook has been a great investment for productivity, reliability, and everyday use. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and dependable laptop.
