The M4 MacBook Pro stands out as Apple's most polished laptop, especially appealing to users upgrading from Intel systems. The base model offers impressive performance for general use, including content consumption and creative tasks like photo and video editing. Battery life, while not reaching the advertised 24 hours, holds up well under extensive use. The updated USB-C Thunderbolt 5 ports cater to professional creatives, allowing for high-speed file transfers and robust connectivity options, justifying investments in higher-end configurations.
Without making my 14-inch M1 MacBook Pro jealous, the latest model is Apple's most polished and complete laptop yet, to the point where the base M4 configuration may just be good enough for 90% of users.
I'm on hour 11 since last charge, and this laptop has 20% of battery left in the tank. That's not exactly the "24-hour battery life" that Apple touts in its marketing, but I've been very impressed with the M4 MacBook Pro's endurance.
For professional creatives who use external GPUs and storage solutions and need a portable system that can swiftly move large files, paying for the extra processing power is justifiable.
Most people will be delighted by the M4 MacBook Pro's overall computing experience, especially if they're coming from an Intel-based system.
