M4 MacBook Pro 2024 - One Week Later!

[@kendrinawaskoro3031]

I had to disagree with you about the HDMI port. I think it's great they brought back the port and I would prefer a real HDMI port over thunderbolt and using a dongle in a thousand miles

[@Davidsworldtravels]

The amount of times me or the people I’ve been in meetings/projects with needed to plug into an hdmi is surprisingly common. Dongles are a joke and are never around when you really need one. HDMI is super common and very useful.

[@davebaker2938]

The HDMI port is nice for a corporate environment. Most conference rooms have HDMI cables for projecting or using a large monitor on the wall. Those of us with only Thunderbolt would have to carry a dongle around with us. Occasionally, you would leave one in a room. It was a bit of a pain. Just bought the 14" M4 Pro. It is an awesome laptop.

I've never heard so many "content creators" bitch about finger prints in my life. If a selling point of a computer is "but will it get finger prints on it?" that's about the dumbest shit i've ever heard, and I've heard EVERY REVIEWER say something about it. If you give even a tiny shit about such things, you aren't interested in a computer, you want some shiny gadget to show off to people.

[@DerekJamesMandy]

The 2021 14" Macbook Pro is my first and the M1 Pro has been a beast. I still don't feel there's a need to upgrade (M1 Pro, 32GB, 2TB). I won't lie, I'm tempted with the genuine increased in performance and battery life, matte screen and maybe switching from Silver to Space Black. I'm curious to see the redesign. I'll continue to hold out in hopes they add a touch screen and maybe face ID and make use of that notch.

[@franciszekfoltyn547]

I do not think there is a need to switch if your current mac does not slow down your workflow

[@zoltanzana]

16" all the way. The 16” comes with a couple of bonuses: the display is larger, you will get more of that beautiful mini led display, the bezels look slimmer due to the ratios, the notch looks smaller for the same reason. The 16” gets a larger trackpad which is more convenient to use and the speakers are better giving richer sound. As far as battery life the 16” gets three hours more in terms of web browsing, and also gets a more powerful 140 watt power supply.

[@insidethecourt]

I compared the two at an Apple Store and the only thing I like about the 16" is the larger screen size for working with multiple windows. Otherwise, the 14" is so much more portable for the same power. But to be honest I also compared the MacBook Air and 15" is really the goldilocks. Apple needs to release a 15" MacBook Pro!!

[@zoltanzana]

@ nope, not the same power

@@zoltanzana Hi Zoltan, do you experience on the fan noise? I understand the 14 is noisier. Do you think it is? E.g. copying 100 s Gb data to the ssd? One more question: color, is the silver annoying light in a dark environment? Thanks

[@vidawrld]

i was in the same boat as you. i’m a student, i dj as an actual job (meaning a weekly basis), i edit videos, use my laptop for an LED wall at work. anyways, the 24gb ram w 512gb ssd would be a great investment. i picked one up today. given that you’re starting to work with more programs, it’s better to plan ahead an invest in a laptop that can handle a potentially larger work load in the future. you never know what might come your way, especially for the type of work you’re doing.

[@jacobporter419]

Well it's really simple. Do you want a portable computer you can use anywhere, or do you still want to stick with a desktop? Me personally, I believe Mac Os is more ideal on the go for it's compact and condensed nature. I would rather have a windows device for at-home use because it's capable of more configurations But if you already own several products from Apple (iPhone, watch, iPad) I guess buying the Mac Mini makes sense to complete the Apple ecosystem

[@hardlydenegrade]

my macbook pro arrived 3 days ago with the same spec you have and i can tell you compared to my old i7-960 gtx1060 setup to shame. The main reason I would say you should get the mac mini is how cheap it is, and if it already replaces the desktop you have, you can keep all the peripherals, something you pay for with a macbook. The roles switch with the M4 Pro where at barely much of a price bump you get a great keyboard+trackpad+display+battery. If you can i really recommend mac mini because it is really cheap but if you want a laptop go for it, just be warey its pricey

Maybe it's me, but I don't really get the "portability" argument as it relates to 14 inch vs 16inch MB. Coming from a mid-tier Windows 15 inch laptop, I never owned a Macbook in my life, I find both 14 and 16 inch MBs super portable devices. Additional 500 grams, 2 cm on top and 4 cm wider is supposed to make 16 inch not portable? Come on... both are super portable machines. I've looked at both devices in Apple stores on several occasions and for me the 14 inch is just too small, working on it long term would be much less comfortable than 16 inch screen.

Hey canoopsy, i can afford the m4 max macbook pro, i was considering the m4 pro the exact model you reviewed with what you said about the laptop you reviewed do you think i should go for it ?

[@BabyGangsterIsMe]

M4 is very heavy ... go with mac book air ...

[@nkl07ba12]

@@BabyGangsterIsMe I can carry the 2kg weight, it doesnt bother me

[@sharadjoshi9333]

thanks for the review. convinced me to trade in my 2019 intel for the new MacBook Pro 2024. I will go 16" and less memory than you because of my regular use.

You'd think Apple would use Lithium Ion Phosphate or LFP batteries by now, they are superior in life cycles and can last 10x longer and will never burn or explode.

Think I’ll finally upgrade my 2013 mbp 😅

[@nightmarecivic]

Keep the HDMI. Why in the world would you say get rid of it. You're nuts

[@Darx97]

they should add nano texture to the iphone

[@hacorn96]

100% yes, that's the best approach. use the tool you have, until you can't. don't think about it until then. huge waste of time and money upgrading every few years and you still don't get the best deal anyway.

I have a 14 year old windows laptop that takes forever to update and boot up. I wanted to get the m4 pro Mac mini, but the store I was getting it at only has the base 256 storage one. They have all the MacBook pros, though. The m4 pro comes up to over $3000, so that’s out. Is the base m4 MacBook Pro with 16 gigs ram 512 storage good if all you do is use it for writing, web surfing and just use the apps that are already on it? And would the Mac last for years, like 8-9 if you don’t stress it out? And if you want, can you keep the A.I. turned off?

[@drdudewin]

Hell yeah, that's even overkill. As far as I know the m4 macbook pro compares to the m2 pro and even the base m3 pro, plus you have a solid build quality with very long-lasting battery. In 6 years time, you are likely to still have a good enough battery for a full day of normal web-browsing and enough CPU performance for any everyday tasks. This machine is built to easily operate modern complex tasks, you'll be good.

I have a buddy who has a MacBook he bought in 2010 and is still using it to this day. It works perfectly and he's happy. He is gonna buy one of the apple silicon ones though, he did tell me that. I have the (M2 Pro 16inch 32GB 1TB) and it's a beast. I'm not upgrading right now, I like my M2. As for you, ditch that windows laptop and get a basic (M4 14inch 16GB 512GB) for like 1500 dollars. You'll be happy with it. I haven't used windows laptop in a very long time.

[@Zuffenhouse]

Can’t you just order the Mac mini you want online? M4 pro starts at $1999. 1tb for $2,199. Each with 24gb of ram. Definitely not $3,000.

[@j.j4090]

@ no. I can’t order it on line. It has to be at that store. As for the prices, those are American prices. In Canada, the m4 pro is $2699 base, and with the tax, it comes up to over $3000. The m4 MacBook Pro base is $2099, with the tax, $2400.

[@Zuffenhouse]

@ is this an Apple Store?

[@Yogi5D]

I'm on the M1 Pro 16 wont be upgrading until M10 Pro in 2030 🤭
