As a reviewer, I have to admit that writing about a new product can be challenging at times. Especially when the product is almost identical to its previous version, with the only notable difference being the processor. To be honest, I didn't think I would be writing about the new MacBook Pro for this very reason.
However, the latest range of MacBook Pro has surprised me. At first glance, it may look just like its predecessor - same sizes, ports, and connections - you wouldn't even be able to tell it apart when it's closed. But once you power it up, you'll immediately notice the significant difference in performance. Thanks to the new M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, these Mac laptops are the most powerful ones yet.
I have been using the M4 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro, and I must say, it's a beast. As someone who heavily relies on audio and video editing, I can confidently say that this device has exceeded my expectations. Just last night, I edited and exported a one-hour video show and two 30-minute shows, and the export time was only between five to seven minutes - simply flawless.
So yes, the new MacBook Pro is definitely a powerhouse in terms of performance. You won't have any issues there. However, what sold me on this device was not just its processor capabilities - the M3 was already impressive. My biggest takeaway from using this device for a week is its new nano-texture display. Trust me; it's a game-changer.
The optional nano-texture display, which costs an extra $230, is a must-have in my opinion. It's like the genie in a bottle - it transforms the way you see and use your laptop. Similar to modern TVs, this display has an anti-glare coating that diffuses light, making it less crisp and harsh on the eyes. The matte finish also gives it a sleek and sophisticated look, regardless of the lighting conditions. Whether you're working with the bright sun shining behind you at the kitchen table, or in the park, or at a cafe, or even on a plane - this display will make a noticeable difference.
I did a side-by-side comparison with the previous generation MacBook Pro, and the difference was crystal clear. Without the nano-texture, you could see the distinct shape of a light source on the screen. But with the new MacBook Pro and the nano-texture display, the light is still there, but it's diffused and doesn't distract you from your work.
In my opinion, this display is fantastic. It's a game-changer for those who often work in environments with varying lighting conditions. If you're in the market for a high-performance laptop, I highly recommend putting the MacBook Pro at the top of your list. And if you do decide to get one, don't forget to opt for the nano-texture screen coating - it's definitely worth the extra $230.
The new MacBook Pro, available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes with M4 Apple Silicon, goes on sale today, starting at $2499. Trust me; it's a worthwhile investment.
