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;…

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.

I’ve always been a fan of Windows, my entire life was based on Windows computers. However, I decided to change it. I’m so thrilled to have made it. This laptop is amazing, is the fastest PC that I’ve ever had in my whole life. It’s perfect for my work and its battery is incredible. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it, you won’t regret your purchase.

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.

Outstanding product. Super fast, been able to run everything I’ve tried except the new 42 GB deepseek model which was admittedly expected. Love the darker space color they have now too
