A majestic piece of modern machinery, Apple’s jacked new 16-inch, M4 Pro-fueled MacBook Pro is a future-proofed investment for creative professionals who run intense multimedia-editing apps and software on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
Read Mashable’s full review of the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M4 Pro).<\/a><\/p>\n { Put simply, this MacBook Pro is a beauteous behemoth. With a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 22,758, it’s the fastest laptop we’ve ever tested by a not-close margin. (The runner-up, Lenovo’s $3,599.99 Legion Pro 7i 16 OLED Gen 10<\/a>, scored a 20,369.) It “can handle heavy workloads without a single stutter,” said Gedeon. It’s also incredibly long-lasting, surviving for nearly 21 hours in our battery life benchmark. Out of all the MacBooks we’ve ever tested, it has the second-best battery life. That’s amazing considering how powerful it is.<\/p>\n While it may look like a pretty standard MacBook on the outside \u2014 minimalist, relatively thin, made from aluminum \u2014 Apple’s tacked on a few subtle but noteworthy design upgrades<\/a> from the previous generation. For one, it comes with three next-gen Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports for zippy data transfer speeds. (These accompany an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 charging port, and a headphone jack.) Two, it can hit up to 1000 nits of SDR brightness, a bump from 600 nits in its M3 Pro predecessor. There’s also an option to add a glare-reducing “nano-texture” display finish, which wowed Gedeon when she took the laptop into her backyard: “I didn’t have to squint, adjust angles, nor play hide-and-seek with shadows,” she wrote. And three, the new MacBook Pro’s camera is now a 12MP Center Stage shooter (up from 1080p) with support for Desk View<\/a>, a feature that produces an overhead view of the user’s desk.<\/p>\n Its high-fidelity six-speaker sound system is the same one you’ll find in the M3-era Pros, but no complaints there. Gedeon likened its audio quality to a “gourmet apple pie … piping hot, golden, and worth every sinful calorie.”<\/p>\n And by calories, we mean dollars. It’s tempting to recommend the M4 Pro MacBook Pro to anyone who values power efficiency in a laptop, but its price point keeps it firmly in “experts-only” territory. (Our upgraded testing unit with 48GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and a nano-texture display came in at $3,649; the base configuration goes for $2,499.) Don’t bother with the splurge unless you’ll make full use of it on the daily. For what it’s worth, we also really like the new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro<\/a> for those with less strenuous workloads; that one starts at $1,599.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"{ container.appendChild(contentItem); });”> A majestic piece of modern machinery, Apple’s jacked new 16-inch, M4 Pro-fueled MacBook Pro is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-342884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
