Apple 2024 MacBook Pro Laptop with M4 Pro, 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU: Built for Apple Intelligence, 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 48GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage; Space Black

This was my first-ever MacBook and I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything about it is a quality experience. It's heavy! Built like a tank. The backlit keyboard is excellent. The battery life is beyond amazing. I can work on it for several days before it needs a recharge. It is fast and powerful--a real beast. With this configuration I am confident that it can handle the most demanding tasks. Yes, Macs are expensive, but don't make the mistake of buying an under-powered machine. You can't upgrade the RAM later. Yes, you can use a removeable hard drive to increase your storage, but that is undesirable and inconvenient. The 16-inch screen is beautiful and just what my aging eyes need. As a life-long Windows user, the learning curve was steep. But it was well worth it. My beautiful MacBook Pro is my daily driver now and I'll never go back.

I've owned this MacBook Pro M4Pro for a few weeks, and very impressed with the power and design. I do have to admit that it's a bit heavier than I expected. My previous laptop was an intel MacBook Pro, 15 inch retina. But, the trade off for larger and better quality display, and the performance gains of apple silicon are more than worth it. I got the 48gb ram, to help future proof. Also, it'll come in handy for my apps (video editing, 3D modeling/animation). So far, activity monitor reveals low memory/cpu usage. I also chose the 512gb storage. Yes, I would have liked more storage space, but the Apple premium is expensive. I opted to get thunderbolt 4 & 5 external ssd drives. The thunderbolt 5 ssd drive actually delivers write/read speeds faster than the internal ssd. The space black is not as dark as I expected. However, it does have a serious, elegant appearance. Does it collect dust and fingerprints? Well, I really haven't noticed fingerprints. Yes, if the cover is closed, and it sits for a few days, you'll see some dust. To be fair, it's the same amount that falls on anything else, including a silver MacBook Pro. A simple wipe clears it away. Using a microfiber cloth does a great job for dusting, btw. Even though the 16 inch is large and has a bit of heft, I value the larger screen real estate over a 14 inch screen. The laptop mainly stays at home. So, size and weight is not a major consideration. I do like the form factor for the flexibility for travel. (I was considering getting a Mac mini M4Pro, and a case. But, decided on the MacBook Pro. With the possibility of going Mac Studio M4 variety later in the year.) Overall, very pleased with the MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro is the best laptop for DJing. I use Serato DJ Pro. The M series processors are so dependable and hasn't glitched on me not once. The battery life is crazy long. I never use the power adapter when at a gig and going for about 6 or 7 hours full throttle, I still have 60% battery life left. This is not a cheap laptop but well worth the money spent since I'm making money off of it.

Fantastic! High quality and great battery life! Yes it’s expensive but totally worth it! The only thing I would recommend is getting the latest internal drive you can afford because it fills up quickly. Really in this day and age 1tb should be the standard minimum. Beautiful display and processor performance is second to none! Very happy with this one!!

This is my 3rd MacBook Pro. I still have the other 2 but have handed them down to my kids. The others Inused for about 5 years each and they’re still going strong. This is the best one yet! Fast, sturdy and a work horse! I’m hard on my computers in that I work long days and have a ton of stuff going on at once. This laptop is up for the challenge!!

Replaced a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro 16” and wow. It is much faster at video editing. The screen is a ton better. Build quality is great as expected.

It’s an Apple — what more can you say, the laptop is excellent. However, I purchased mine through Amazon Resale, and while the product itself was fine (the box had a small dent, had been opened, and the battery showed no cycles), the return policy was misleading. Amazon Resale lists a 30-day return window, but that does not apply the same way with Apple products. Buyers should be aware of this before purchasing. I don't wish to return it but I think that should be clarified.

Super fast. Hard to get used to Mac after being on PC for so many years. I started on Mac and it's coming back. External sound is a pain as it disconnects if I undock it and I put it back on and makes it a pain for video editing. With that I'm super happy.
