Apple Announces MacBook Pro Models With M4 Pro and M4 Max Chips, Thunderbolt 5 Support, and More

Very strange that you can't configure a 64GB RAM SKU unless you take the higher-end 40CPU M4 Max, but you can configure a Mac Mini 64GB RAM SKU with both M4 Pro variants.

16" went from 18GB standard to 24GB. That's a free $200 value. /s

 

[Rychiar]

the lack of wifi 7 is ruining my desire for all these otherwise perfectly good machines.

 

[arock]

A little odd that you can get an M4 Pro Mini with 64GB RAM, but the max on the MBP M4 Pro is 48GB.

 

[pelowj]

Very surprised by WiFi 6E still. Was the rumour not WiFi 7?

The website product page still shows the M3 MBP

Did you think they would update the site to the new M4 options or just leave the M3 up to purposely confuse the customer?

Knew it... prices went up like with base M4 MacBook Pro's

Comparing edu prices to normal

 

[teknikal90]

dang... quite a big upgrade. I jumped in too early with the M3

Debating on upgrading my personal/work M1 Max 64GB/1TB laptop to an M4 Max with double the RAM and SSD. Problem is, my M1 Max is still a beast and rarely stutters. However, it's getting ready to come off AppleCare+, so I might just stick with keeping a laptop with a functional warranty, despite never needing to use it. The peace of mind is awesome. Decisions, decisions.

Any idea whether the base M4 MacBook Pro has a 120hz display?

Well it shows M4 now

What's everyone going for if they are buying one? Ordered M4 Pro 14" for £2199 through Edu programme but the M4 Max at £2899 is tempting me a lot especially with extra RAM.

The base 14” M4 MBP starts at 2.000€ here in Spain (1.929€ to be more precise). And that’s the lowest base model! Holy guacamole!

At those prices, the MBP suddenly looks much less appealing. And wait for it! The 14” M4 Pro starts at 2.500€ (2.449€ to be more precise). That’s insane!

Where is this weird outrage coming from? That's a 100 euros cheaper than M3 models across the board AND you get more RAM.

Using the same box design to save pennies.

 

[jezbd1997]

What?? why is there no WiFi 7???

i’d say support for it has to be built into the cpu, similar for like how newer intel chips have to support wifi 7.
iPhones normally use newest tech so it was built into A18 and i guess work on the M4 was started before A18 and it couldn’t be done in time for the iPads (which also use the M4s)

Upgrade when it's OLED screens

 

[jezbd1997]

Wifi 6E? This is really unbelievable. I am really disappointed.

My guess is cpu support wasn’t finalised in time for the M4s as the iPads had to be ready before new iPhones

 

[Chiromac81]

BIG MISS not having wifi 7

 

[moxin]

Upgrade when it's OLED screens

accidentally upgrades to iPad Pro with M4

 

[Trusteft]

I would love to see one of them in not black and silver, but in translucent orange. Mmmm.

 

[jezbd1997]

Very surprised by WiFi 6E still. Was the rumour not WiFi 7?

I’ve replied to a couple of others, but my guess is cpu support wasn’t ready in time for M4s as iPads were ready and they are using same/similar variations of that M4 chip.
A18 chip however does support wifi 7

 

[fwmireault]

Same. Really tempted to upgrade now, but next year it will supposedly have OLED and be a little thinner and lighter, which is welcome.

My M1 Max MBP is working just fine, so I really don't need to upgrade yet.

Same! Still rocking my M1 Pro MBP. I’ll wait for OLED before upgrading, nothing in the M4 MBP that I really need or want

I did exactly that (but more storage). I expect this to be a 4 year machine minimum, so future proofed it. Starting to see some things like PhotoAI and Lightroom need additional ram and processing power, and only think that'll get more intense.

But I did put this one on the annual applecare vs the three year.

Oh, M3 MBP already started at almost 2.000€? I didn’t remember it. Of course the new base RAM is finally acceptable for a Pro machine, but I didn’t remember the base model to be that expensive.

EDIT: I just checked it. You are right. The base M3 MBP was 1.999€. Wow. Like you said, At least it got 70€ cheaper and now it starts with 16GB of RAM.

I'm really hoping that this is an error on their website, especially since you can get 64GB with the new M4 mini.
