All about the high-end MacBook Pro

The situation is even more interesting with more expensive models. In addition to a computer with the M4 Pro processor, which we saw for the first time yesterday, you can also get the most powerful M4 Max to be revealed for the first time. It will provide a significant increase in your productivity.

This time, Apple is not making any design changes other than bringing the Space Black color option to the 14-inch MacBook Pro. But the internal updates should be of interest to those who own an M1 MacBook Pro or an older Intel model. Apple has set 16 gigabytes of RAM as the default for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, as it does for the M4 iMac and Mac mini. The amount of RAM can be increased if desired. Of course, we thank Apple Intelligence for this.

In its video, Apple features four experts in different fields: a programmer, two business executives, and a teacher in artificial intelligence. They were each given an M4 MacBook Pro to use at work, and in a short video they explain how it affects their work. Highlights include a powerful processor, battery life, Apple Intelligence and more.

• Apple isn’t saying much about the M4 Max chip yet, but we know it will have a 16-core CPU (12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores) and a 40-core GPU. M4 Max also supports Up to 128 gigabytes of RAM It has 30% more bandwidth than last year’s M3 Max.
• By comparison, the M4 Pro has a 14-core CPU and a 20-core GPU.
• A regular M4 chip has 8 or 10 cores as well as a 10-core graphics chip.

As for other updates, MacBook Pro M4 Pro and M4 Max will also receive this update three USB-C/Thunderbolt 5 portsLike the Mac mini equipped with the M4 Pro. If you’re constantly moving large files, that alone might be a reason to upgrade, as Thunderbolt supports data transfer speeds of up to 80 gigabits per 5 seconds (can reach 120 gigabits with Bandwidth Boost). This is a huge step up from the 40Gbps speeds of Thunderbolt 3 and 4, and opens the door to better support for external GPUs and powerful AI accelerators.
