Overall, the M4 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro is a powerful workstation and Apple makes the package even better with Thunderbolt 5, the 12MP Center Stage camera, and the Nano-texture glass display option. It’s a loaded laptop for the most demanding users.

The MacBook Pro 16-inch (M4 Pro, 2024) occupies the middle spot between the 14-inch M4 and 16-inch M4 Max models. Though pricey, it's more affordable than the latter while being more powerful and energy efficient than the former.

If you want the fully specced out model with nano-texture screen, M4 Max chip (16-core CPU, 40-core GPU), 128GB memory and 8TB SSD storage will cost you £7049 for the 14-inch or £7349 for the 16-inch model.

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often, the improvements are in the single or low double digits.

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. If your budget can bear it, this laptop is hard to beat.

Apple’s MacBook Pros are better than ever thanks to its M4 chips, Thunderbolt 5 support and slightly brighter screens.

Apple's long-overdue overhaul of the Mac mini shrinks an already great package even more, yet it still punches far above its weight class.
