Best MacBook Pro I’ve Owned!

Best computer I’ve owned. I came from using a MacBook Air M2 which was great but needed something a little faster for editing video on the go. The speed of the M4 Pro MacBook Pro was exactly what I needed. It’s just barely bigger than the 13” Air, thicker, and with all the connections I need for editing. The speakers were also a huge upgrade. I’ve owned previous models of MB Pros in the past but this is by far the best designed, and obviously, the fastest (vs. past models).

MacBook Pro M4 Review
The MacBook Pro M4 is a powerhouse. The new M4 chip delivers lightning-fast performance while staying incredibly efficient—perfect for everything from heavy video editing to smooth multitasking. The Liquid Retina XDR display is stunning, with vibrant colors and true HDR brilliance. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the sleek, solid design with MagSafe and extra ports makes it even more versatile.
Simply put, the MacBook Pro M4 sets a new standard for professional laptops. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is my third MacBook Pro. My first was in 2015. Then I upgraded to a 2019 model. Both of those were the basic entry-level models with 8 GB RAM and 256 SSD. Let me tell you, upgrading to 24 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD is like moving from a Volkswagen to a Ferrari.
As usual, everything "just works" but it works so much smoother. I probably didn't need the M4 Pro chip but I wanted a model that is going to last me 7+ years rather than 3 - 5 you get out of the basic level MacBook Pros.
The space black is really cool looking. I use this with two monitors in my work from home office and there are no problems there. Nothing I've thrown at it so far makes it break a sweat - it stays cool as a cucumber. The battery life is also incredible. It will last for an entire day in power saver mode.
A big shout out to the Best Buy team in West Covina. I had originally purchased an open box version of the same model only to find out that you can't add Apple Care+ to an open box Mac. It's a whole long story involving serial numbers and previous Apple Care subscriptions.
Anyway - suffice it to say - the manager price matched the price that the computer was on sale for over the Christmas holiday and set me up with Best Buy Total subscription which offset the cost of the Apple Care + (you should ALWAYS get the Apple Care+). I don't know how she worked her magic but I walked out of the store with a BRAND NEW MacBook Plus for the same price as I was going to pay for the open box one.

If you’re working as a professional videographer or filmmaker and are looking for the best value for your dollar, this is the best choice in the M4 line up.
The 1TB drive, 24GB of memory and the full 16 core M4 Pro chip offer the best band for your buck that apple have ever made available for this price point. I’m editing 4 camera, 4K 10 bit 4:2:2 footage shot in S-Log 3, hour long podcasts and this thing doesn’t break a sweat.
These laptops are also incredibly efficient. This can get me through an intense 5 hour editing session before needing to charge back up. If i’m just browsing or enjoying a movie, i can get over 15 hours of battery life.
Highly recommend this to level up your editing set up!

Love this setup. Plenty of ram and a big ssd. Its so quick and handles anything I throw at it. Glad I waited fot thr M4 Pro chip. The battery lasts forever too. I have been traveling more and this macbook has been perfect for work school, video editing, games and chilling out watching movies. Thr speakers are very impressive, much more robust than I expected for a 13” laptop. If you’re on the fence, just get it, you wont be disappointed.

The MacBook Pro is a powerhouse. Its performance is exceptional, especially with the M1/M2 chip, making multitasking and demanding tasks a breeze. The Retina display is sharp and vibrant, perfect for both work and entertainment. Battery life is impressive, and the build quality is top-notch. Ideal for professionals and creatives who need a reliable, high-performance laptop. Definitely worth the investment!

Perfection. First time Mac user here.This is the most premium and luxurious device I have ever used! Incredible battery life, speed and absolutely amazing built quality. The touchpad and the keyboard are extraordinary. I highly recommend this device! Glad I didn't spend another era with a Windows. Just buy a Mac!

I'm a heavy Windows PC user, over 25 years experience... building my own PC's, setting up custom waterloops, running (now exteinct) SLI set ups, etc etc. I was very anti-apple.
However I do carry an iphone and have an ipad, and after reading all the reviews, to give Apple one more chance at a desktop computing. Have to say I am loving it. It's definitely a different world, but now that I understand it things better, I love it! Let me explain.
Although the macbook can definitely play some games, especially now with the M4 chip, I don't really see it as a realistic alternative to my Windows PC with the 4090 GTX. But what I love about the Macbook is how I can move things between my ipad/iphone quickly and easily. And at first glance, that doesn't seem like it's worth the price tag. A small Apple Mini can achieve that at a fraction of the cost. But this is a portable powerhouse. I now can have my photos on my iphone readily available on my laptop, my emails readily populate on my macbook in an intuitive app and popup (let's face it, it's better than Windows). I can seemlessly migrate my things from one app to another. This means I can move all my data, I can create content, on the fly, anywhere, on the go. It's powerful enough, it's interconnecting all my gear.
Some drawbacks as mentioned is , it's still not a realistic gaming powerhouse, but it's getting awfully close. The unified memory system took me a while to understand why and how I'm losing memory. And I can't expand this on my own if I wanted to. In a Windows laptop most manufacturers allow this and even show you how to do it., whether it's RAM or NVME hard drive space.
Without rambling too much, the bottom line is everything's very smooth, everything's connected, suddenly using my ipad as a secondary monitor on the go is awesome, having all my photos/videos readily available to easily content-create is great. The experience is different, I recommend everyone switching over to Mac to spend 30-60 minutes watching videos, after that you won't even turn back.

I've been holding off on buying a new computer for awhile now and I'm so happy to have made this purchase during the labor day sale! I got a great price and everything I was looking for in a laptop, including great sound, speed, and display. I have an IPhone, so it made the most sense for me to get a MacBook so I can easily share between devices. Love this laptop and would highly recommend!

I have worked in IT for over 30 years and have used Windows, Linux and Mac during that time. I really prefer MacOS and have enjoyed using it for my personal use over Windows for years now. But upgrading to the new MacBook Pro M4 Pro has literally blown my mind! This machine is the GOAT!
Every day I use the usual Microsoft apps, Excel, Word, Teams, Outlook, ToDo, PowerBI, etc. I can have every app open on my three screens and with three fingers I can swipe up and switch to any app in the blink of an eye! This machine doesn't even so much as hiccups with all these apps running along with Apple Music, Brave browser, WhatsApp, iMessage all working flawlessly. I'm astonished at how my productivity has skyrocketed as a result of having the right hardware for the job.
The M4 Pro may be overkill for the everyday user but for me it has raised my productivity and lowered my stress. I love the keyboard and trackpad but my favorite is the biometric fingerprint reader that allows me to access my passwords at an instant. This alone has saved me a ton of time each day.
Even if it is overkill, go for it! There's nothing like having a lightening fast computer and knowing I won't have to upgrade for several years to come.

The 14‑inch MacBook Pro M4 solidifies its place as a well-rounded, high-performance laptop—delivering laptop-grade speed, near all-day battery life, and a gorgeous display in a surprisingly compact design. It's an ideal choice for professionals, creators, and hybrid workers.
If you need extreme GPU power, step up to the Pro/Max variants—but for most users, this one model does it all. You need a docking station.

Great machine. A quantum leap ahead of other MAC's I have used. Good companion to my IPAD Pro and iphone 16 PRO MAX. Love the size and it is a quality build
