Apple Upgrade
MacBook Pro M4 Pro vs M4 Max
$1,799 vs $3,299 — is the M4 Max worth the massive premium?
Our Verdict
Stick with the M4 Pro unless you render 3D or 8K video daily. The M4 Pro offers 90% of the practical performance for almost half the price, in a lighter and more battery-efficient package. The M4 Max's 546GB/s memory bandwidth and Tandem OLED display are engineering marvels, but they are strict overkill for anyone outside of high-end Hollywood editing or heavy machine learning.
