Apple MacBook Pro 14 M4

Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro is better than ever thanks to its M4 chips, Thunderbolt 5 support and slightly brighter screens.

The MacBook Pro 14 with M4 is a solid laptop that outperforms PCs, but it's not standing out as much as it should for the price.

The MacBook Pro M4 offers amazing battery life and faster performance along with clever Apple Intelligence features, but the nano-texture display steals the show for me. I also like the sharper 12MP webcam and additional Thunderbolt port, but the SSD is slower than I expected.

It's a dead ringer for 2023's model, but Apple's M4 MacBook Pro remains a portable content-creation powerhouse, thanks to a beefed-up processor, smart AI features, and seemingly endless battery life.

The MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 is a pro-grade portable that impresses in every area. It's a pleasure to use, and rises to meet virtually any challenge. It joins Apple's pantheon of excellent laptops, and will duly take its place at or near the top of our best laptops list.

No laptop is so perfect that it can't be improved, but the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 comes as close as any I've ever reviewed.

The M4 MacBook Pro wows with endurance-defying battery life and stellar performance, allowing Apple to reclaim its throne.

The MBP 14 M4 isn’t a huge departure from the M3 version, but laptops aren’t meant for annual upgrades. For everyday road warriors, it’s simply the go-to device if you need something more powerful than a MacBook Air 13 or 15, but don’t want the heft of the MBP 16.
