Apple’s newest MacBook Pro, with the advanced M4 chip family, brings powerful performance and innovative features for everyday use.
The new MacBook Pro, powered by Apple Intelligence, revolutionises how you work and create, all with built-in privacy protection.
John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering added, “MacBook Pro is an incredibly powerful tool that millions of people use to do their life’s best work, and today we’re making it even better.”
“With the powerful M4 family of chips, and packed with pro features like Thunderbolt 5, an advanced 12MP Center Stage camera, an all-new nano-texture display option, and Apple Intelligence, the new MacBook Pro continues to be, by far, the world’s best pro laptop.”
WHAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN WE EXPECT WITH THE NEW 14-INCH MACBOOK PRO FEATURING THE M4 CHIPS?
M4 CHIP
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 is the perfect option for entrepreneurs, students, creators, or anyone passionate about their work.
With a more powerful 10-core CPU, consisting of four performance cores and six efficiency cores, the new MacBook Pro features a faster 10-core GPU that leverages Apple’s advanced graphics architecture. It starts with 16GB of rapid unified memory, expandable to 32GB, and supports a memory bandwidth of 120GB/s.
With the M4 chip, the MacBook Pro boasts performance improvements of up to 1.8 times compared to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 for gigapixel photo editing, and for more intensive tasks like rendering detailed scenes in Blender, it can be up to 3.4 times faster.
Featuring a Neural Engine that is more than three times stronger than the M1’s, it’s exceptional for tasks in Apple Intelligence and other AI applications.
In addition to its built-in display, the M4 model supports two high-resolution external monitors and now features three Thunderbolt 4 ports for all your peripheral connections.
M4 PRO
If you’re a researcher, developer, engineer, creative professional, or someone who needs faster performance for demanding workflows, the MacBook Pro with M4 Pro offers an impressive performance boost.
The M4 Pro’s powerful 14-core CPU, which includes 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores, significantly boosts multicore performance, while the up to 20-core GPU is twice as powerful as the M4. With M4 Pro, the new MacBook Pro receives a substantial 75% increase in memory bandwidth compared to the prior generation — double that of any AI PC chip.
With M4 Pro, the new MacBook Pro is capable of being up to 3x faster than M1 Pro models, greatly accelerating tasks like geo mapping, structural engineering, and data modelling.
M4 MAX
The MacBook Pro with M4 Max is created for professionals like data scientists, 3D artists, and composers who regularly challenge their workflows, enabling them to work on projects that were once only possible on a desktop.
M4 Max includes an up to 16-core CPU and a 40-core GPU, delivering more than half a terabyte per second of unified memory bandwidth, with a Neural Engine that is over three times quicker than the M1 Max, enabling accelerated on-device AI model performance.
The powerful Media Engine in M4 Max, which includes two ProRes accelerators, ensures that the MacBook Pro delivers impressive performance, even when editing 4K120 fps ProRes video captured with the new iPhone 16 Pro in Final Cut Pro.
WHAT ADDITIONAL FEATURES HAVE BEEN IMPROVED IN THE NEW MACBOOK?
THE LIQUID XDR DISPLAY IS NOW EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE
With the introduction of a nano-texture display option, the new MacBook Pro drastically cuts down on glare and distracting reflections.
In well-lit environments, the latest MacBook Pro is capable of showing SDR content at up to 1000 nits and can deliver HDR content with a peak brightness of 1600 nits.
THE MAC NOW SUPPORTS THUNDERBOLT 5
The M4 Pro and M4 Max variants of the MacBook Pro come with Thunderbolt 5 ports, achieving transfer speeds that surpass 120 Gb/s, perfect for external storage and expansion solutions.
For instance, with just one cable, professionals like music producers can now energise their entire studio setup.
All MacBook Pro models showcase an HDMI port that accommodates 8K resolution, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 port for charging, and a headphone jack, plus compatibility with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
EXPERIENCE THE UNPARALLELED FEATURES OF MACOS SEQUOIA
macOS Sequoia enhances the MacBook Pro experience with a range of exciting features, including iPhone Mirroring, which lets users wirelessly interact with their iPhone, apps, and notifications directly from their Mac.
The fastest browser worldwide, Safari, now features Highlights that efficiently retrieves relevant content from websites, a redesigned Reader equipped with a table of contents and a summarised view, and a new Video Viewer for focused video watching.
With the Distraction Control feature, users can hide distracting elements on a webpage during their browsing sessions.
Gaming is enhanced with immersive features like Personalised Spatial Audio and refined Game Mode, as well as a wealth of exciting titles, including the soon-to-launch Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
With the improved window tiling feature, users can organise their windows to fit their preferred layout effortlessly. The new Passwords app also makes it easy to access passwords, passkeys, and other credentials, all in one central location.
The new feature allows users to select from a range of beautiful built-in backgrounds for their video calls, including colourful gradients and system wallpapers, or to upload their own pictures.
CHOICE TO UPGRADE OR SWITCH OVER TO A MAC
Those making the upgrade will benefit from monumental improvements over Intel-based MacBook Pro models, including the exceptional features of Apple Intelligence.
In comparison to an Intel-based MacBook Pro, the new model offers nearly 10 times the performance for AI-based tasks, and users can experience up to 20 times faster performance for graphics-intensive workloads.
With the new MacBook Pro’s battery life reaching up to 24 hours, those upgrading will benefit from an extra 14 hours of performance.
