Great product- fast - easy to use good cuality and resolution

As a music video director, my workflow demands a machine that can handle intensive video editing, color grading, and rendering without breaking a sweat. The 2024 M4 Pro MacBook has exceeded my expectations in every way. First off, the performance is unreal. The M4 Pro chip runs Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve like butter—even when working with 4K footage and heavy effects. Rendering times have been cut drastically compared to my previous setup, which is a lifesaver when deadlines are tight. The display is another standout feature. The Liquid Retina XDR screen offers stunning color accuracy, which is crucial for nailing the visuals of my projects. It’s a game-changer for color grading—I can trust that what I see on the screen is exactly what will be delivered. Battery life is phenomenal. I’ve had editing sessions on set without needing to plug in for hours, which is a huge advantage when working on location. The build quality is solid, and the larger trackpad and improved keyboard are a joy to use. Lastly, the upgraded ports are a blessing. The inclusion of an SD card slot and HDMI makes transferring footage and connecting to external monitors seamless—no more dongle headaches! If you’re in the creative field, especially working with video, this MacBook is worth every penny. It’s not just a laptop; it’s a powerhouse tool that helps bring my vision to life with precision and speed. Highly recommended!

Works fantastic. Best laptop I ever owned.the battery life is great and very fast speed.

Awesome MacBook Pro. love the way Apple allowed optioning this year. I was able to opt for more RAM and less storage to get more performance for the same price using the cloud and ext. HD. This is the way! It has handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far. Including audio mixing, video editing and graphic design. Had a slight issue with transferring from 23’ to this device. Had to use Time Machine and an external HD to complete transfer, I think was more an issue with Tahoe, but other than that it has been great.

I've been needing to upgrade since the m1 came out. I'd been using the m1 MacBook Air with 16GB unified memory before upgrading to this laptop. I've own the m2, m3 and m4 airs and saw no real performance improvements compiling my Xcode projects and would end up returning them just to keep using my m1 air. That is until I bought this one. compiling is a lot quicker, android studio has a bit more memory to hog up now, running a few 7b llm's like qwen coder 2.5 7b runs nice, 29/35 tokens isn't the fastest but it does the job. Final Cut, photoshop, affinity photo all work as expected, but with these app I saw no real performance gain from my m1 air aside from coding. It's an overall great laptop, the battery lasts all day, fan never kicks on, does get warm from time to time, the space black is still fingerprint prone. Just wish they had the nano texture display when I purchased this one. It's a no brainer if you want to upgrade from an m1.

The laptop of my dreams. A very complete computer. Fast, user-friendly, and adaptable to any need. For editing, programming, and even playing video games.

I've used MacBooks before, and was really just looking for something that could handle the video editing. My M1 was great, but it was for work so I got something personal and the M4 is giving me zero issues. Fast, quiet, battery life is solid. I do think I could've gone with the Air M4, but I do prefer the Pro because of the HDMI port and SD card slot.

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.

Very awesome laptop I do not like that. The apple on the back does not light up like the old ones I do not like that. They do not come with USB ports anymore or DVD/CD slots anymore. Other than that it works absolutely perfect and I love it.

I HAVE BEEN GREATLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS LATEST MACBOOK PRO BECAUSE OF IT'S SPEED, CLARITY AND EASE OF USE.

Everything about it is great. Works very fast, battery life is fantastic, so easy to navigate and the iPhone mirroring works really well and when working on projects no problems downloading or uploading things.

Apple really knows how to handle new computer setup. This computer is amazing on so many levels it’s crazy! The speed, display picture and detail are amazing. The 14inch monitor screen feels so much bigger than what you see while you’re working on it! The M4 chip is really amazing as it captures my stream Love the darker color. Super fast. Plows through video rendering that would frequently crash my aging PC in no time. Takes some serious extended processing to even trigger the fan, so it's almost always silent. And when the fan does go into high, its very quiet. Planning on buying another one for my daughter to use for school!

Amazing MacBook Pro for freelance design! Fast, smooth, gorgeous screen, and handles everything I throw at it—totally worth it.

By far the best laptop I've ever used. The battery life is great and the screen is very bright and sharp. This thing is a rocket and flies through any tasks I throw at it. I use a hub to drive 2 external monitors and this setup never misses a beat. Keyboard and trackpad are top notch. Quality is amazing.

Lightweight, powerful machine with excellent battery life.

The new MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 Pro chip is simply outstanding. It’s lightning fast, super responsive, and handles everything from everyday tasks to heavy creative work with ease. The integration of Apple Intelligence makes it feel smarter and more intuitive than ever. The 24GB memory keeps apps running smoothly without slowing down, and the 512GB SSD is perfect for storing projects and files. The silver finish looks sleek and professional. Definitely worth the investment if you want power, speed, and reliability in one beautiful machine!

Excellent, efficient, performant laptop in a compact size. The machine has a great finish color, beautiful screen, smooth refresh rate, and ideal footprint. It was able to playback 4k60 ProResRawHQ & 4k120 XAVC-S in realtime, no proxies on DaVinci Resolve, and edit those huge files for 8+ hours without a charger.

Huge upgrade overall. It does run a bit warm, but coming from the M1 to the M4 Pro with 24GB RAM—it’s a dream for photographers. The heat’s not a defect; I do heavy image processing and work with a ton of layers, so it’s expected. Adobe still needs a few months to fully optimize for the new chip, and macOS 26 pulls a lot of power right now. None of that’s the laptop’s fault—it should all smooth out soon. And that display? Absolutely stunning.

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

The MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip is a beast. Lightning-fast performance, stunning display, and all-day battery life make it perfect for work and creativity. It’s sleek, powerful, and just works flawlessly. Highly recommended!
