The entire MacBook Pro lineup has received the M4 update, and the base M4 model in particular has some big changes. The basic M4 model, priced at $1,599, has increased integrated memory from 8GB to 16GB and features three Thunderbolt ports, one more than the previous model. Another change is that the space black color, which was previously only available for high-priced models, can now be selected along with silver.
Apple upgraded the ports of the M4 Pro and M4 Max models to Thunderbolt 5, just like the M4 Pro Mac Mini. However, the basic 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro model still supports Thunderbolt 4. Below is the basic configuration of each model.

M4, M4 Pro, M4 Max performance
According to Apple, the base M4 chip with a 10-core CPU (4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores) and a 10-core GPU is up to 1.8 times faster than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 in tasks such as gigapixel photo editing. , It is up to 3.4 times faster in the high-load task of rendering complex scenes in Blender. The 16-core neural engine is 3 times faster than the M1. Apple did not specifically mention the performance comparison between the M3 and M4 in the press release, but the MacBook Pro website shows that the M4 has gradually improved performance compared to the M3.
As for the M4 Pro, Apple says it is “up to three times faster than the M1 Pro model, speeding up workflows such as geographic mapping, structural engineering, and data modeling.” The M4 Max said, “It provides 3.5 times higher performance than the M1 Max, allowing it to handle high-load creative tasks such as visual effects, 3D animation, and movie music work.”
New cameras, nanoglass and other features
Apple updated the built-in camera to a 12-megapixel center stage camera. This camera not only automatically adjusts based on the user, but also supports a desk view function that shows the desk space.
All MacBook Pro models are equipped with a glossy Liquid Retina The display brightness of SDR content has been improved to 1,000 nits. Additionally, the starting memory capacity of the M4 Pro model increased from 18GB to 24GB, and the maximum memory capacity increased from 96GB to 128GB.
All models are equipped with three Thunderbolt ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MagSafe 3 port, and a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. The M4 laptop uses a 70W power adapter, and the 14-inch M4 Pro model provides a 96W adapter. All 16-inch models support a 140W power adapter.
The M4 MacBook Pro lineup is currently available for pre-order in the U.S., with shipping starting on November 8. The domestic release date is undecided.
