2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 Pro chip with 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 24GB Unified Memory; 1TB SSD Storage; Space Black

I abandoned Apple years ago, but the M1 chip convinced me to give it another chance. The M4 is even better. I upgraded from the 16-inch M1 to the M4, and while it’s more portable, the 16-inch has a better screen real estate and sound. As expected from an M SOC Mac, it’s great. The build quality is excellent, with every detail nicely crafted. The screen, though not OLED, is great and better than most laptops. Performance is excellent, with great memory management. I can run many applications and heavy software development tools without high memory pressure. It does all this while on battery, which is incredible. You won’t get this with heavy video editing, but it’s still great performance and more battery life than any other notebook. The keyboard is comfortable to type with good key travel, and the touchpad is one of the few in the industry that’s usable. However, it’s an expensive laptop, and there’s no competition that offers the same at a lower price.

The Apple MacBook Pro M4 Pro (2024) is an excellent laptop with a sturdy build quality that will last for many years. I purchased the 12-Core CPU and 16-Core GPU variant with 14" screen and 512GB SDD, and I am very pleased with the specification. It can handle high-end tasks really well, even on apps originally intended for Intel-based MACs which now run on Apple silicon through their own emulation tool called Rosetta (all built in, no setup required). The battery has a great life and lasts for the majority of the day, dependant on the tasks you are doing. If you regularly keep the device connected to the mains power, it learns this and starts to only use the mains instead of constantly charging the battery; this prolongs the life of the battery capacity. The screen is clear and bright and clearly shows the quality of this Apple product. For anyone looking for a laptop alongside links to other Apple devices such as iPhone and Watch, I highly recommend this item.

A grand machine. The acoustics are simply incredible, I am still stunned when I hear the sound coming out from it. Anything, even EastEnders I dare say will sound fabulous. ...and then there's the rest of it. A polished design with obviously a lot of thought gone into it. I have yet to explore it's further reaches, but it is first class for post processing photography. Mac users say they are machines that are worth the investment, keeping you good for 10 years.

I need a good screen quality, light weight, and easy set up and this gave me just that. The power last longer and functions well with just a best look thereby helping my musicianship to thrive

I have been using this MacBook for almost a year now and it's working today as it did on day one. I've used Apple Macs for almost 20 years, as in my opinion, they can't be beaten on build quality. This 14" model replaced an older 16" MacBook Pro. I didn't really need the larger screen size and wasn't dissapointed with the smaller 14' screen - it's beautiful - everything is so crisp and clear. I purchased the MacBook on the amazon pay in 5 plan, so it felt like it offered even better value for money as I didn't have to pay the full amount all at once. Performance is blazingly fast, offers outstanding sound quality for a laptop (solid and punchy), and I get around 2 weeks use on the battery with average use. This is a heavy beast but that's because it's built to last.

I picked up the 14-inch 2024 MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip (24GB RAM, 512GB SSD) as a general-purpose machine and a portable option for editing when I’m away from my main desktop. For that role, it’s excellent. Right out of the box, the build quality is outstanding. It feels solid, the screen looks incredible, and everything about it has that premium Apple finish. In actual use, timeline editing in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro is very smooth, thanks to the media engine. Basic cuts, scrubbing, and general editing are responsive. Some effects — like Smooth Cut and Morph — definitely need rendering to play back smoothly, but that’s expected for portable hardware. The only downside is that render speeds are slower than I anticipated. It seems limited by the media engine, running at roughly 70% of the speed of my RTX 4070 Ti Super. For my workflow, that’s acceptable because I mainly use this laptop for timeline work rather than final exports — and for that purpose, it’s perfect. After three months of use, durability seems great and the battery life is excellent. This MacBook is ideal for creators on the go who want a reliable, well-built machine with great timeline performance and long battery life. I would buy it again and would happily recommend it.

Best laptop I've ever had, fast, handy, not too big, great quality, works perfectly with other Apple devices.I managed to buy it on sale, fantastic value for money.

A laptop that performs very well. Good battery life, a useful number of ports, they've brought the MagSafe connector back - thank goodness and a very nice and bright screen. Very little if any fan noise. Just a bit on the expensive side - but no more than usual for Apple!
