Apple MacBook Pro (M4 Pro and Max) review: still on top

We tested the 2024 MacBook Pro 16 with both M4 Pro and M4 Max chips in photo editing, video editing, and gaming. Guess which two they're good at.

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (M4 Pro, 2024) review: Peak Mac scales to new heights

No Face ID, Awkward vent placement, Upgrades get expensive

The 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro is one of the most powerful laptops we've ever reviewed, offering the second-longest battery life of any laptop we've tested. The $2,499 starting price is one of the only potential stumbling blocks, but even that became a...

Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M4 Pro / M4 Max) review – Powerhouse Performance for Prosumers

Thanks to its more punchy hardware, the MacBook Pro 16″ (M4 Pro / M4 Max) offers more performance than the base version of the 14-inch sibling. In real life, you can spot this if you are using the machine for 3D rendering, video conversion,...
