Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 (2024) review: one of the best Pro laptops around just got better

[@mmjytc]

Currently using the device. While powerful and aesthetically pleasing, it hurts to type on after a while and it is very heavy compared to the Air.

Can anyone explain how it could be a Pro model without a Pro chip? It is essentially a MacBook Air with 120hz refresh rate and support for HDR content.

Better everthyng .battery ,screen,120 hz,camera ,ports etc 😊

[@muhammadmunam5923]

@@alexandrumarina2527 it's not battery, screen, ports and fan that makes a model Pro. It's the CPU. Here, M4 chip has only 10 core CPU, out of which only 4 are performance cores. This is the same as in Air model. A regular pro model has at least double the number of performance cores in its base model, that is, 12 core CPU with 8 performance cores. Moreover, they have incorporated a single fan to dissipate the heat, which makes this model worse as a single fan has to move faster that makes a lot of noise during heavy work load (regular pro models have 2 fans). So, it's a marketing gimmick to sell their lowest tier model with a label of pro. If anyone wants a machine with exactly the same performance, it's better to wait for MacBook Air M4 instead of spending a lot of money on a false Pro model.

The base M4 beats Intel and AMD "pro" ultrabooks" by a distance, so if you say it isn't pro, most Windows ultrabooks are not either. The majority of semi-pros can easily use the base M4, but the M4 Pro/< axe is for those needing even greater performance.

And air is just a binned down pro, everything is apples play to make more money.

Why macbook pro series doesn't come with 15-inch optional size and only available on macbook air?

[@CornFlakeZ]

How do I remove these burn-ins on my macboo pro display? Having difficulties now seeing everything clear on screen

[@techradar]

Can you let us know which model you're using? :)

[@hightable_01]

@techradar hahaha don't laugh don't criticize...early2011 mbp 15" im dirt poor these days, also FaceTime no longer working, says No video capture devices were found...I know techradar is a reviews site not one solving people's problems... can't help it as this was a gift to me

[@techradar]

@@hightable_01 We'll always try to help! And don't worry - some of us still use older tech in our personal lives :) Unfortunately, at that age you'd probably need to take it to a laptop repair shop (Apple likely wouldn't repair it anymore). Might end up costing you more, though, so I'd consider looking at second hand / refreshed models - or a Chromebook if you're on a budget! You might be able to trade it in for parts still - it won't be much, but it can help. There are some good Black Friday deals right now, too. Sorry we don't have a fix better than that. Best of luck, and thanks for watching!

Apple should use IPS Instead of nano texture screen 👍
