Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 Pro, 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 24GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage; Space Black

I found this Macbook for a little less than Apple offered it, so it was a no-brainer as far as the cost comparison. It's easy to use, the battery lasts all day long (like 10-12 hours), and the functionality is superb! The sound quality is amazing, the graphics are amazing and I'm now a Macbook convert! The only negative is the weight. It's a bit heavy for a laptop, but I knew that when I ordered it. It's super fast, so its the guts of the machine that make it weigh more! I'd buy it again. It was a great value for the money

I've owned this MacBook Pro M4Pro for a few weeks, and very impressed with the power and design. I do have to admit that it's a bit heavier than I expected. My previous laptop was an intel MacBook Pro, 15 inch retina. But, the trade off for larger and better quality display, and the performance gains of apple silicon are more than worth it.I got the 48gb ram, to help future proof. Also, it'll come in handy for my apps (video editing, 3D modeling/animation). So far, activity monitor reveals low memory/cpu usage. I also chose the 512gb storage. Yes, I would have liked more storage space, but the Apple premium is expensive. I opted to get thunderbolt 4 & 5 external ssd drives. The thunderbolt 5 ssd drive actually delivers write/read speeds faster than the internal ssd.The space black is not as dark as I expected. However, it does have a serious, elegant appearance. Does it collect dust and fingerprints? Well, I really haven't noticed fingerprints. Yes, if the cover is closed, and it sits for a few days, you'll see some dust. To be fair, it's the same amount that falls on anything else, including a silver MacBook Pro. A simple wipe clears it away. Using a microfiber cloth does a great job for dusting, btw.Even though the 16 inch is large and has a bit of heft, I value the larger screen real estate over a 14 inch screen. The laptop mainly stays at home. So, size and weight is not a major consideration. I do like the form factor for the flexibility for travel. (I was considering getting a Mac mini M4Pro, and a case. But, decided on the MacBook Pro. With the possibility of going Mac Studio M4 variety later in the year.)Overall, very pleased with the MacBook Pro.

Arrived 2 weeks earlier than expected!The laptop was boxed and packaged with care as well so there were no damages (thank goodness because I was afraid that would happen)I LOVE my new Mac! It’s so pretty and just as described. I’m still learning to use it since I got so used to my 13”. Fast and efficient, battery life is amazing and screen quality is great!

So far I have loved the new pro. Screen, touchpad, fingerprint scanner, battery life, and noise of fan are all much better than my mid 2015 model. The sound quality from this laptop is very impressive comparing it to my last. I bought the most powerful version I could without building one with more storage which is more computer than I personally will ever need. I bought the highest end version for my mid 2015 model and it still runs flawlessly today (secondary computer now). I was slightly disappointed that this new computer with greatest M4 processor and upgrades, didn't run any faster than my old version for normal tasks. None-the-less it is a great computer and I love using Apple products. Price is the biggest catch for me buying Apple. With similar features on a Windows computer you can get a lot more bang for the buck. Issue I have always had in Window computers (most expensive versions I could buy) are viruses and constant problems that lead to needing a computer store to fix which is limited in my area. I have never taken either of my last 2 MacBooks to someone for repairs which is insane when they both still run. Hope this one keeps me running for 8-10 years before the next. The biggest issue I have with the the new is the weight of the computer. It is a tank and it thicker than my 2015, but the size are nearly the same but having a 16" screen instead of 15". I would have really liked to see a touchscreen version, maybe coming this year unfortunately after I already bought this version.

Moving from an M1 Max to the M4 Max shouldn’t have been anything sensational. I mean, I’m a relatively general user, with some web browsing, some photo editing, etc being the norm. However, the performance uplift is nothing short of sensational. Apps open and run just that much more quickly, I really enjoy the noticeable uplift in Wi-Fi speed with 6E, and the screen on this latest MacBook is much better than on the M1 Max that I had in that the pixel response time is noticeably improved. That was a complaint I had when I originally got my M1 Max 16” back in 2021 because pixels would smear more noticeably when scrolling. This issue is massively minimized on this new laptop.Should everybody upgrade like I did? Well, that’s a tricky question… Probably not? It’s more of a want than a need. But if you’d like an upgrade, this really is a very fast one.5 out of 5.

I love this laptop. Apple's ingenious product tiering worked on me. I started with a MacBook Air, then a 14 inch MBP, then ended up with the 16 inch MBP. Although it's expensive, I truly love it. It does the small things well, which is very noticeable for me since I switched from a Lenovo laptop that has "comparable" specs. The battery life and user friendly UI is valuable to me. I also love how well it works with iPhone apps (mainly iMessage), and AirPods. I do think the MacBook Air is plenty of laptop for most people, myself included, but I decided to spend more for the better screen, speakers, and active cooling.

Absolutely loving the 2024 MacBook Pro! The M4 Pro chip is insanely fast—I can run multiple heavy apps without any lag. The 16.2” Liquid Retina display is a visual treat with super crisp resolution and smooth refresh rate. Battery life easily lasts a full day of work, and the new Space Black finish looks sleek and professional. It’s a bit pricey, but for developers and creatives, it’s worth every penny.

Quality in every detail, if you're looking for durability and performance, this is a solid choice. Worth every penny.
