  • Cooling limits speed under full CPU+GPU load
  • Constant PWM flicker
  • Expensive upgrades, few repair options
  • NotebookcheckNov 2024

    Tested M4 Pro 14/20-core, 48GB/2TB with nano-texture: an impressive big multimedia laptop with much faster M4 Pro, very long runtimes and a matte screen option.

  • NotebookcheckDec 2024

    Tested M4 Max 16/40-core, 48GB/1TB: one of the fastest laptop chips, with graphics roughly at RTX 4070 laptop level, held back mainly by cooling under combined load.

  • Tom's GuideNov 2024

    Tested M4 Pro 14/20-core, 48GB/2TB: an excellent big MacBook Pro for people who want 16 inches without paying for the Max; 20h46m in Tom's Guide's web test.
