Batlife is wild! Great for vasic editing too. A great little work horse

First of all love the color of the black making it look very sleek plus matches my iPhone. The new chip is so fast and makes this laptop feel like a desktop I can work on videos, edit pictures and handle all of my work of data analytics. Fan is really quite which I was surprised because I almost thought it didn’t have one until I double checked the specs. Weight is optimal not to heavy to carry and not to light where it feels flimsy. The new AI is amazing helps me get work done so much faster. Overall best investment I have made this year!

This macbook is in my opinion the best bank for your buck! It carries the m4 pro chip and the half Tb SSD gives you more than enough to work around taking in count a 2Tb high speed external SSD is around $150 where you can store the heavy media files. This macbook has plenty processing capacity to work on large media projects and the M architecture allows to pull that power even on battery. About battery, you can spend most of the day working on it and not having to plug it, which is pretty convenient for any type of set up, the return of the dedicated charging port allows to free the other 3 usbC ports and the dedicated HDMI port will get rid of some of the old dongles you may have to carry around. I come from the last i9 16” macbook pro so this being my first M chip, and I am not disappointed at all. Unless you REALLY need more screen real state, I would not advise to get the larger model as I found with my last macbook, is hard to carry around, set up on a coffee shop or airplane, train, etc, and everytime I find myself working on it in a desktop I had screens available.

MacBook has a great speed for my editing work. Strong processor to for any heavy work.

I had the MacBook Air 15 with m4, 24gb ram, & 512 GB SSD. I traded it in for this MacBook Pro and I love it! The screen is amazing, it's as close to an Oled display without being an Oled. It's probably faster than what I even need and if there was a MacBook Air with the same screen, I would have gone that route. I do like the smaller form factor that you get with the MacBook Air but its not that much heavier and if your're not transporting it daily to and from another location, you're not going to notice the difference. I love the HDMI port as opposed to using a dock with the MacBook Air. It's able to handle 4k at 240hz on an Ultrawide with no problem whatsoever! I feel confident that this laptop will be plenty powerful for at least the next 5 years. Very happy with this laptop so far.

My GF has been an apple operator for years and is loving this new machine. She is doing video and photo editing on it, light wgt and long battery life so she can work anywhere she wants. She is not using the on board storage or the cloud due to monthly expense. She transfers all files to a 4TB drive for save storage and back up. Screen and function are amazing. Way over priced which is typical of apple products and once again changed the charging port. SO not cool.

So I would like to say I was at first super hesitant on spending the money on this computer. I just at first could not reason spending that kind of money but I decided to take a leap of faith and do it and I’m glad I did elaborate on that first things firstthe thunderbolt five capabilities in reality Support about 80 GB of data transfer as far as 120 GB that’s only for like certain display situations as far as I’m aware something to that effect, just wanted to note that. I use the Mac Pro for my ASMR videos and I must say it has impressive capabilities. Considering this is my first Mac. There’s been a lot of things that I am still learning and honestly some things I genuinely don’t understand like you download something and then have to eat check it or something to that effects. Still not totally grasping the concept of that that for me is very new and I find it to be a little redundant if anything, considering Max are supposedly the best but aside from that as far as display goes as far as capabilities with the thunderbolt five I’m glad I purchased the thunderbolt five cable you can connect it directly to your iPhone and pretty much stream or record 4K video as long as you’re utilizing the correct software and or applications, in addition to that, I would like to say that if you’re considering spending less money and not getting the pro, don’t even buy the Mac save your money up or just don’t do yourself at the service and purchase anything below a pro because you’re realistically short, changing your experience, a pro offers significantly more and include its neural network or whatever they call it a neural something integration I forget, but what it offers is actually incredible. The Apple Intelligence is about as stupid as it comes. I will say that I don’t find anything intelligent about it whatsoever. I will say the iMovie is incredible and the integration with ChatGPT seems like a good idea up until you try to use the integrated version of ChatGPT that is offered with the Mac. I will say if you’re into the AI end of things and building your own AI and utilize open source hugging face or any other resources like that or Ollama Mac has a resource online where you’re able to do a very broad and very interestingly, capable amount of things you can do some very cool stuff with machine learning or building your own machine learning for an AI if that makes any sense when I can’t afford it, I look forward to purchasing on Max and solely utilizing my pro for the ASMR, the price of the laptop is incredibly expensive and honestly discouraging considering I’m a normal person that just had a baby and worked 60 to 70 hours a week and an emergency room as well as go to school, but it definitely is worth it. There are a lot of pros to purchasing this laptop and not purchasing the regular version that Mac offers or the that air or whatever. processing capabilities are significantly different with the pro and way better with the max, that being said I purchased the cheapest one that was available as far as the pro version goes. I purchased a 512 GB and then just purchased an external SSD storage, which is one touchy and I brought that for like $100 at Best Buy. There is a adapter. I guess recall it that you can connect two of your USB-C ports to because I think you only get three USB-C ports which are technically three thunderbolt five ports if I recall correctly and the adapter increases the USB and USB-C ports by like one or two I will say I am currently looking into purchasing the thunderbolt five dock hubs they are expensive. It’s about $500. However, there is other alternatives that you can purchase that are significantly cheaper and still the thunderbolt five capabilities. There are some that have SSD or storage that are expandable storage where you can install your own own additional storage and it’s not too expensive. It’s like 60 to 80 bucks but for context you are spending about 3 to $400. In reality you’re only getting like four additional ports. I would like it also noted that the iMovie and all the other programs that go with Mac are absolutely wild. I had not a slightest clue Apple offered what it offers and you can do some various astounding work with what Apple provides as far as programs go overall as much as the computer is expensive I am very happy that I went ahead and purchased the laptop. I have notice significant differences as far as video quality is concerned and just simplicity for integration and various things for tasks that I’m looking to complete are just easier now that I’ve slightly grasped how to use a Mac if you’re gonna make a purchase, I would recommend this computer, expanding your storage and ports by spending the additional $500 but if you can’t afford that spend an extra hundred dollars at Best Buy and just buy an additional one tetra byte storage and make sure that you get the storage that does at least 1000 MB per second I believe for the thunderbolt five you can get up to 6000

From an excellent processing speed and power to simple functions and an aesthetic design, there isn't much NOT to like about the MacBook Pro. Naturally, transitioning from a Windows device to this can be tricky, but it is incredibly efficient once you get the hang of it. When it comes to reliability and performance, this thing is hard to beat. Plus, I purchased the 14" edition, which is incredibly compact and portable, making upgrading from the Air to the Pro a no-brainer if one is looking for slightly stronger processing, an internal fan to prevent overheating, and more ports. Overall, the MacBook Pro, particularly the M4, is a phenomenal product that is likely to outlast any of its contemporaries on the market.

Life long windows user here, Mac has a few things that are odd at first but overall very easy to get use to. Mostly using for photo editing and light video editing. The speed in which the large files transfer is mind blowing. I can transfer 250 61 mp files in under a minute

My first Macbook, and it is fantastic!!! Very fast and lightweight. Love it so much!

absolutely love it. Sucks that it’s so expensive but if you want high-quality things, you gotta spend the money. I’ve always had an iPhone but growing up. I never wanted a MacBook because they’re small and not touchscreen. I finally caved and got one and I love it and will never look back. The downside is it’s not windows compatible, but there is $100 a year subscription or you can use anything on windows on there.

Excellent performance when it comes to high level computing. Good battery life which didnt expected. It could have more ports.

Amazing laptop. Fast, stunning display, all day and then some battery life.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS LAPTOP. GREAT SCREEN, BATTERY LIFE AND OVER PROCESSING

I’ve had the M1 MacBook Pro ever since it was released, but I made the mistake of buying the 8GB option. I use it for work, and I have way too many files. I decided to buy the M4 chip MacBook Pro, and I expected the same high end performance but with the memory I needed. I have only had this laptop for a few weeks, and I am pleasantly surprised! I can easily tell how much faster it is than the M1 chip and how much more seamless it is using multiple programs at once.

I couldn’t be happier with my MacBook Pro. The performance is outstanding—apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and even demanding tasks like video editing and coding run without a hiccup. The display is absolutely stunning with sharp detail and vibrant colors, and the sound quality is surprisingly rich for a laptop. Battery life easily lasts all day, which is a huge plus, and the build quality feels solid and premium. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the trackpad is the best I’ve ever used. macOS runs flawlessly and integrates perfectly with my other Apple devices. It’s not the cheapest option, but the speed, reliability, and overall experience make it well worth the investment. Highly recommend to students, professionals, and anyone looking for a powerful, long-lasting laptop.

Great laptop with amazing battery life. The performance of the 12 core cpu is ideal in the 14 inch body leaving it decently cool to the touch under medium workloads.

Honestly, I probably didn’t need the M4 Pro version, but coming from a 2017 Intel i5, this was a massive upgrade for me. Apple products just work well out of the box with very little setup needed. Blazing fast startup, thunderbolt 5 ports transfer speeds are great. Overall a huge recommend.

Best laptop for on the go work. I use mine for coding, AI LLM hosting, Adobe Suite and more. As an on the go IT consultant that primarily uses Windows, it's still such a convenience that I can use this laptop over my much heavier, and only 2 hour battery life, powerful Windows laptop. No need to hunt for outlets in someone elses office or home. Being mobile when evaluating an entire building just can't be beat. Relying on a dongle for some of my needs however will always be a problem though. Cons: Missing a USB A and ethernet is rough. Would rather go without the HDMI or SD card slot as we all have a dongle for them by now anyway and are much easier to find. Missing ethernet is especially silly when the laptop doesn't support WiFi7. Fast WiFi 6 is fine, but touting less ports and wires is their dogma. Not using the latest standard that has been out for a year (WiFi7/Bluetooth cards are only $50 max and cheaper), is just silly for a laptop at this price or at least with the option to upgrade at a premium. With storage at a premium, accessing external storage as Apple intends through thunderbolt storage or NAS is always a huge caveat in mine and customers' work. Overall still gets the job done so well for the portability. Hard for anything else to compete.

Very Powerful machine. I was a windows user. I see a very high performance change from windows to Mac. Really worth buying for Software Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists and other vide editing people. Battery life is un-imaginable
