The updated slate of MacBook Pro, powered by the M4 series silicon, has once again established Apple’s performance dominance in the segment. However, a teardown courtesy of the folks over at iFixit has confirmed that not much has changed internally ...

The new M4 MacBook Pro laptops can be bought with hundreds of dollars off the list price ahead of Black Friday... just not from Apple.

They were launched less than two months ago, they are outstanding products, and yet Amazon is offering substantial discounts on them.

While the new M4 MacBook Pros got a number of sweet quality of life upgrades, the new MacBooks looked about the same externally, except for the M4 MacBook Pro gaining an additional Thunderbolt port over the M3 model, something that the M3 Pro/M3 Max models already had.

The M4 represents as much of a philosophical shift as it does a performance upgrade. It is Apple acknowledging that if you’re buying a laptop with “Pro” in the name, than it should be a better machine.

Apple is offering individual speaker parts for the latest MacBook Pro models, meaning more affordable repairs.

The biggest reason to upgrade to the MacBook Pro M4 is the performance. This machine gets the newest M4 chip that is based on a 3-nanometer process, promising the fastest CPU core and better multithreaded performance than M3. Based on our testing, the M4 blows a lot of the competition away but not on every test.

A trio of retailers are fighting for your money, by offering the 1TB 14-inch MacBook Pro with an upgraded M4 Pro chip at $300 off the list price.

Apple only released its new M4-series MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago, and they're the best that the company has ever produced. But if you want to get yours right now, you can already pick one of these laptops up for a massive $250 discount.
