MacBook Pro features the most advanced lineup of chips ever in a pro laptop

14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro and M4 Max)

MacBook Pro features the most advanced lineup of chips ever built for a pro laptop. Phenomenal single- and multithreaded CPU performance, faster unified memory, enhanced machine learning accelerators — the M4 family of chips gives you the kind of speed and capability you’ve never thought possible. And the powerful Neural Engine makes AI tasks like image upscaling and video caption creation as well as on-device Apple Intelligence features fly.

• MacBook Pro with M4 is up to 3.4x faster than M1

• MacBook Pro with M4 Pro is up to 3x faster than M1 Pro

• MacBook Pro with M4 Max is up to 3.5x faster than M1 Max

Run graphics-intensive workflows with a responsiveness that keeps up with your imagination. The M4 family of chips features a GPU with a second-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing engine that renders images faster, so gaming feels more immersive and realistic than ever. And Dynamic Caching optimizes fast on-chip memory to dramatically increase average GPU utilization — driving a huge performance boost for the most demanding pro apps and games.

In addition, the new MacBook Pro has the longest battery life ever in a Mac — up to 24 hours — and supports fast charge, allowing it to charge up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. All models provide the same performance whether they’re plugged in or not, so you can spend more time thinking about an outlet for your passion, not your laptop.

MacBook Pro packs an array of ports for connecting high-speed peripherals, driving high-resolution displays, or directly offloading SDXC cards. Models with the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips now include Thunderbolt 5, which offers transfer speeds of up to 120Gb/s. MacBook Pro also supports both Wi-Fi 6E53 and Bluetooth 5.3 to connect to the internet and your wireless devices.

Of course, MacBook Pro users can drive external displays: Connect up to two high-resolution external displays with M4 and M4 Pro and up to four displays with M4 Max.
