Can't do better than this new MacBook Pro M4 from Apple. It's my first Mac OS based laptop or computer in nearly 10 years and I can't believe how awesome and polished the look and feel of this Macbook is. Incredible performance. THE Fastest CPU on the market and a great GPU. Perfect for video and audio editing with the dual encoders.
Excellent experience through BestBuy. I traded up for this MacBook Pro M4 Max over a couple of weeks as I climbed up the models before finally deciding on the full, un-binned MAX. Can't believe how powerful this device is.
Great experience

Great build quality - as you would expect from Apple. Performance wise, it was a great update from the M1 Pro processor. Would recommend the upgrade from an M1 Pro. Seems to run twice as fast. Love the Matt black finish. Easier to keep clean than the brushed stainless I had on my old MacBook Pro.

This laptop is just so fast, so quiet and so cool. Thought it would have thermal throttle issues but I’ve not seen any after opening a gazillion tabs and applications at the same time. The fans don’t even turn on. It also just feels better to use and carry it around everywhere instead of the 16inch.
Huge recommendations for this years M4 max chips!

Apple M4 Max is a powerhouse.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The M4 Max is a powerhouse. I have to say it keeps up with everything I throw at it. This is the first MacBook I bought and have to say it leaves my PC in the dust. Even the M4 pro chip is amazing for everyday tasks and more.
I have to say the build quality and feel is amazing. My only complaint is the Price. Other than the price it is the best laptop I ever bought. The battery life and charging time is amazing. After using this I will never go back to PC.
The Pic of the moon is one I actually took.

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.

Step up from the M3 Max

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

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 !!!

Extraordinary Laptop But…

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.

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.
