Reviewing new products can sometimes be challenging, especially when they closely mimic their predecessors, only differing in processor capabilities. However, the 2024 MacBook Pro range stands out despite its identical exterior to previous models, available in the same 14-inch and 16-inch sizes with unchanged ports.
What sets the new models apart are the performance-enhancing M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, which establish them as Apple’s most powerful Mac laptops yet. During my experience with the M4 Pro 14-inch version, I found it remarkably efficient for tasks like audio and video editing, achieving impressive export times of five to seven minutes for lengthy content.
Nonetheless, while the processor’s performance is commendable, the standout feature for me was the optional $230 nano-texture display. This anti-glare coating significantly improves screen visibility in various lighting conditions, offering a more pleasant viewing experience without reflections.
When compared to the previous generation, the difference is immediately noticeable, providing a clearer image even in bright environments. Given its superior performance and display features, the MacBook Pro is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a high-performance laptop, making it a worthy investment, with sales commencing at $2499.
