Customer Ratings & Reviews

This 14 inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro chip is the value leader for portable pro systems, especially when on sale. Getting the Pro chip (despite a couple less cores than the full Pro chip) and higher memory (24) and storage (512) compared to the base model (16/256) are key. Having gone through almost every MacBook Pro prior to Apple Silicon, I still miss having the plethora of pro ports on them, and would've highly preferred an ethernet jack to the SD card. I understand I'm in the minority on that though. Thanks to this being the M4 Pro, rather than the base, it also gets Thunderbolt 5, rather than just Thunderbolt 4, for both higher speed drives right now and possible long term future proofing. With Thunderbolt 5 and USB C, it is easy to get a single dongle with everything you'd want to use on it that is easy to leave on a desk and have power delivery through, or to carry with you for those times you need to attach something while you're out. If it weren't for the sale price that BestBuy had, putting this particular model in an even better value proposition than most, I would've ordered it with the nano-texture glass, which is a game changer in bright lights, and even better than the anti-glare no-glass solutions of the past that I loved. Most of the time it'll be used closed with external displays though, so this is still fine for my needs. If you plan to run it flat out most of the time and use power delivery through a dongle that uses a few watts of power before sending it on, get the larger power brick. The included one mostly keeps up when connected directly, but through even 100W PD capable dongles, is just low enough that the battery will continually drain a bit as you continue to push the chip and system in performance mode for hours at a time. If you're not doing day long renders or similar with it locked in performance mode, this will be fine. But if not, get the larger output power brick for your workstation setup and keep the smaller one that comes with this in your bag for extended travel.

recently upgraded to the MacBook M4 Pro from my older Intel-based MacBook, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The performance leap is incredible—everything feels instant, from opening apps to running heavier software like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro. The new M4 Pro chip absolutely flies through multitasking without breaking a sweat. The battery life is another standout feature. I can easily get through a full day of work and then some, even when editing videos or working with large design files. The display is stunning—colors are vibrant, and the brightness allows for comfortable use even in brighter environments. The keyboard feels great to type on, and the trackpad remains the best in the industry. I also love the build quality; it feels premium and solid while staying surprisingly light and portable. Overall, the MacBook M4 Pro delivers an exceptional blend of performance, battery life, and design. If you’re considering an upgrade or need a powerhouse for creative work, this is absolutely worth it!

I never had a great computer. I invested in this one because I want something to last more than a few years like my MacBook Air M1 did and I plan on using this for heavier than my M1. So far I have never used any computer that is better than this one.

Absolutely love this computer. The speed is unparalleled, especially if you’re upgrading from an Intel MacBook or Intel Mac in general. 24 gb ram is more than enough for most people too. They could always offer more storage, but Apple has to corner you into paying for iCloud (among other things). Overall, got a great deal at the price point.

This piece is a delight for creators and developers. The screen resolution is soo good. Apple rocks. And the processor speed is just wowww..

Still punches above its weight in many areas even when compared to brand new M5 laptops from apple. This is a great investment into the near future.

Awesome product, outstanding battery life and speed. M4 processor easily handles audio recording and editing.

I’ve had this laptop for a month and it is consistent with my previous MacBook purchases. Reliable, fast, and a nice amount of storage. I use it for personal use but is used for a lot of creative applications.

If the price seems high, it’s worth it. Solid new Macbook! I am very impressed with the the sturdy design and the new sound system. Great battery life. I’m happy to have a macbook with an HDMI port and SD card slot again.

Perfect laptop for everything from school work, to demanding programs, and even gaming. Definitely a good all around with very good battery life!

Awesome product! It’s really powerful laptop for software development works involving running docker containers locally. Excellent customer service from BestBuy!

Very nice laptop extremely fast, a little bit heavy but it is manageable. Long battery life. A must have laptop.

This MacBook is as smooth as silk. The transitioning between tabs and applications is seamless and effortless. Synching with my iPhone is simple and it creates a web of constant connectivity no matter where I am or what I am doing. Going for the 24GB RAM might have been a little overkill for what I do but I am future proof if things change. Not sure why it took me so long to switch from Windows but no matter, I won't ever go back. My only complaint is that it does not support dual monitors daisy chained out of the box like my thinkpad did but it is easily corrected with an adapter.

good battery life, good performance, good display.

I traded up from an intel 2018 to this M4 Pro with 24GB memory. I opted for 512 GB because I can get external drives at a better rate. I use my computer to run a sales and marketing consulting business. This computer has more processing power than I need on a daily basis, however I do some video editing for my social content and my wife is a photographer and she uses my computer from time to time. My last Macbook was great and I used almost everyday for 6 years. I expect this laptop to hold up just the same. So far the only issue I had was transferring my data. I realized it was because I was on the beta program with my old laptop. Once we resolved that I have had no issues. The space black is more resistant to smudges than I expected. I would probably have liked to go with the Nano Texture display. Since I travel a lot and have to work at coffee shops sometimes. It would be nice to have the non reflective glass. I am curious to see how they continue to improve on Apple Inteligence. If you are getting it for the Apple Inteligenc only, don't bother, it's not worth it yet.

Like this new Mac !! Its fast and Apple AI is cool. But, I bought black color Mac-charging cord is black but its head is white, I wish charging head was black too to match with Mac/cord.

I love my laptop and I love open box as an option! I think it’s great and it’s cheaper! I would 100/10 recommend to anyone who is a little broke and can’t afford new bc I haven’t had any issues at all

I've only been using this laptop for a few weeks but it is a huge upgrade from my 2019 MacBook Pro. The speed is significantly faster and the display is slightly larger but much brighter and higher quality. I love the new Touch ID capability as well.

My first transition to a MacBook and so far I love it! Its blazing fast both in startup and runnubg apps, lightweight, clean profile, and of course super intuitive UI. Integration with my other apple products was seamless, and have not had any issues with it handling whatever i throw at it

Love it and makes everything so much easier. Definitely recommend for high school age students,for all the homework and their classes.
