Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 Pro chip with 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 24GB Unified Memory; 512GB 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.

Absolutely love it. Been using MACs and Macbooks for years and this one is the best yet. The build quality, screen, battery life and keyboard are impeccable and it chews through all the stuff I want to do - Final Cut, Lightroom, Affinity Suite, Logic Pro and Xcode - without breaking a sweat. Why only four stars then you may say? I am knocking a star off because, let's face it, the cost is completely outrageous. I got the 14" version with M4 with the Pro chip, 24G of RAM and a 512G hard disk. Apple charge £1749 for that in the UK which is utterly insane. Worse still, I'd have loved the 1TB version but that is a colossal £380 more. Seriously Apple, £380 for an extra 512TB????!!!!!!! I get it that it's a captive audience if you are buying a Macbook anyway but that price is completely mental. So a great computer. But boy do you pay through the nose for it.

Finally replaced my old Macbook Pro which was failing. This one impresses in every respect and is so fast. Screen quality is outstanding and battery life incredible. Like all Apple products it is expensive, but it won't disappoint, so if you can afford it, then buy 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.
