This is overall a great computer for what I need it for. Its performance is great, sometimes a little slow on the internet, but i t hink its really only certain sites, perhaps. eith differer way, it has a lot different ports for all differet types of things. It has your charging port on the left side along with 2 type c ports and a headphone or some type of either wired earbuds or idk maybe some kinda sound thing, I am not really sure. The right side has an HDMI port, a type C port, and it has a memory card slot. Perfect for daily work on my NFP things or grants and such. I highly recommend. It is quite a bit heavier than the Macbook air m2 chip which I have had several issues with it. this one seems great so far. Very Happy 100%

Review of my MacBook Pro 16-inch
It’s a great computer, but I’ve realized it’s a bit too powerful for me. I don’t really need that much performance — I’m just a student. Another issue is that it’s a bit heavy to carry around. When it’s in my backpack, I can really feel the weight.
I’ve been thinking about switching to an iPad Pro, but then I thought maybe a laptop is still better — maybe a MacBook Air, or perhaps I’ll go back to a 14-inch model. The 16-inch is just too heavy for me. I think I should switch to something lighter.
Otherwise, everything is great. The sound is absolutely amazing — powerful and crystal clear — but again, I don’t really need that much. I’m only learning programming now, just starting out. Maybe later I’ll buy something else. Maybe when a new iPad comes out, I’ll get that.
For now, I think I rushed a bit. A computer that costs almost $4,000 is too much for me. Something around $1,500 would be more than enough.

Great and solid computer so far. I know it’s expensive but Apple products just seem to last forever. This M4 is replacing my M1 and the speed with playing games is noticeable. Gaming is the only time I ever hear the fans kick in and you can hardly hear them. The aluminum body is incredibly solid as well

Great built quality and excellent performance. I am user of windows based laptop and computer for decades. This time I tried changing to MacBook. Only down side I would say is bit bulky and weigh more. Other than that MacBook is a good choice for professional purposes..

This is an excellent laptop for business. I run a medical practice and it can handle anything I throw at it. The screen is big and brite and chest x-rays and ECGs are clear. Overall, excellent device.

I love my new MacBook Pro! It is a very fast and powerful work horse. I exceeds all of my expectations for a portable audio recording platform - let alone a great laptop in general. I can see this MacBook lasting me for several years!

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip is the most powerful laptop I have ever owned. Creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects run incredibly fast, and the system handles multitasking with ease thanks to the 48GB of memory. The 1TB SSD is more than enough room for large projects, and everything loads instantly.
The Space Black finish looks sleek and holds up well against fingerprints. The display is stunning with sharp detail and vivid colors, and the speakers sound better than most dedicated external options. Battery life is excellent considering the performance, and charging is quick and reliable.
This machine is built for demanding creative work, whether that’s design, video editing, or music production. It is not aimed at heavy AI or machine learning like an NVIDIA workstation would be, but for Apple’s own ecosystem of creative and professional software, it is the best laptop you can get.

I consistently try to put this through the wringer with all the photo editing through Lightroom and AI processing at the same time and it almost never kicks the fans in.
Coming from windows pc this was probably the best decision I’d made for my work flow.
In terms of raw performance and a no nonsense grab and go straight out the gate laptop, there’s nothing stronger than this.
The battery life can easily last the whole day with half of it gone if I’m having heavy use, beyond that if it’s regular office work I’m guaranteed to have at least 75%.
Couldn’t recommend a better laptop that’s gonna outlast its price tag

The M4 Max MacBook Pro is an amazing machine. It can run anything I throw at it, and it has great battery life. I especially love the addition of the Thunderbolt 5 ports.

I love my MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 max. This is definitely the "Best Buy" I have made in a long while. I wish I could describe how great it is. I'm sorry, but even with my lack of knowledge to laptop specs. I can easily tell it is worth the money.

I upgraded from the late 2019 16" Intel i9 Macbook Pro. This new one runs much cooler, the battery lasts a lot longer, and the performance is much better. It's equally as loud while stressing the CPU/GPU. Though that doesn't happen nearly as often as on the Intel one.

I had a 10 year old macbook pro thst was running on empty abd it was a top of the line computer back in 2015. The computer had heavy usage every dsy snd ot kept going, but the technology apps were causing performance issues. I ordered the 16 inch macbook pro M4 Max with all the high perfermsnce money csn buy. I use it everyday with over 8 hours per day. Works flawlessly. No compuer crashes, run multiple spps running st same time, flawless screen abd performance. You pay more fir Applebuy you get what you pay for. I know everyone cannot afford this macbook, but if you can unlocks its performance!

This MacBook does everything i need it to do. I was worried the 16 inch model might be too big but no it is not. I find the larges screen really enhances my coding. This is because I can have two windows open at the same time. The Stage Manager feature allows me to quickly cycle through open windows, making up somewhat for the fact I only have the built in monitor. I plug this into an external monitor when sitting at my desk for extra screen area. It is an excellent laptop and I can't wait to see how it does with machine learning tasks.

This Apple MacBook is exactly what I was looking for regarding AI Video Generation. I've been using it with Veo 3 and Kling mostly with amazing display results!

Switching from windows laptop to mac has been a game changer regarding battery life, heating and fan issue. Though the price is high it shines with it's low noise and longer operation without any plugged in power. Also if you already have an Iphone it makes it better to be more productive as you dont have to keep on checking on your phone, and quickly answer any messages directly from your mac. for entertainment I noticed that I was strteaming netflix for 2-3 hrs and my battery life was still above 90% which is really great
