The 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro (late 2024) has been preceded by some excellent MacBooks. So does this 2024 version live up to the high standard – and is it worth the high price? We've put it through our extensive lab test to see if it's worth buying....

The MacBook Pro gets a new processor and some other notable upgrades. Does that mean you should go out and buy one? #apple #macbookpro #m4max
Superlative performance ; Incredible battery life ; Support for Thunderbolt 5 ; Fantastic display ; Slightly cheaper ; Great keyboard, trackpad, speakers
Display has blooming issues ; No Wi-Fi 7 support ; Upgrade options are pricey ; Still expensive
The TL;DR version: These are some of the best laptops money can buy. It has a fantastic screen, blazing-fast performance, and just about all the features you could want. Pricey, yes, but it’s well worth it. Note: You can find the new MacBook Pro on...

M4 is powerful and efficient, but wow, that screen.
Nano-texture display is stunning ; One more Thunderbolt 4 port than prior model ; Long battery life ; Strong performance ; Starts with 16GB of RAM (Finally) ; Great speakers
Apple Intelligence features are limited right now ; RAM and SSD upgrade pricing is absurd ; Display notch should have Face ID by now
The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 is a luxurious device. M4 is a powerful chip, and you finally start at 16GB of memory. If you can afford it, opt for the nano-texture display, which is stunning. But RAM and SSD pricing is jaw-droppingly high, and Apple...

With a new chip and a handful of quality of life improvements, the M4 MacBook Pro has reached new heights.
Even brighter display ; Fantastic 12MP webcam ; Record-breaking performance ; Best-in-class keyboard and trackpad ; All the ports you want, now faster ; Speakers so good you'll ditch your headphones
Still no OLED ; The 16-inch model is quite heavy

Apple's flagship M4 laptops won't wow you with flashy features or fresh designs, but they're almost so polished that you can't complain.
For the same price as last year's MacBook Pro models, the M4 variants -- particularly the base configuration -- offer notable upgrades in performance, utility, and battery life. The introduction of Thunderbolt 5 ports, an M4 processor that's better...

The beautiful new MacBook Pro M4 is faster and better than ever, but brings confusing variations and spiralling costs
Expert review by : Nikolay Palaozov (laptopmedia.com)
The Apple MacBook Pro 14 is a pricey well-built machine with powerful hardware. The M4 CPU maintains a rock-solid P and E core clock of 3.92 GHz / 2.59 GHz no matter the load. This, combined with the color-accurate mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display...

Pricey ; Soldered memory and NVMe ; High processor temperatures under medium and long stress ; Loud fans in long 100% CPU stress scenarios ; No Wi-Fi 7
