The MacBook Pro with the M4 chipset is now available for $1,399, a $200 discount that matches its lowest price ever.
This deal, available at Amazon and B&H Photo, makes the M4 MacBook Pro possibly the best value among Apple’s laptops.
The 10-core M4 chip offers a significant speed boost over the previous M3 model, with Apple claiming the M4 has the strongest single-threaded performance on the market. Benchmarks confirm this, though the difference may not be noticeable for everyday tasks.
The 2024 model also boasts 16GB of RAM, double the previous base amount, which enhances macOS Sequoia’s Apple Intelligence features and supports more demanding tasks.
This new model also includes a third Thunderbolt 4 port and an upgraded 1080p webcam, which features a wider field-of-view for the Desk View feature.
These improvements make it a solid choice for users who need more power than the MacBook Air, without the need for the higher-end MacBook Pro models.
For users requiring more intensive capabilities, such as 4K or 8K video editing, the higher-end models may be necessary.
However, for most users, the M4 MacBook Pro offers an excellent balance of performance and price.
