@ I’m coming from a 13” M1 MBP, and I had a 15 Intel Retina MBP before that. I liked that the 13 was lighter than my 15 especially since I carry it in a backpack with papers and files, but I do miss having a larger screen. I’m hoping that since the 14 is a larger screen than the 13 that it will be a good sweet spot for me.
I bought a 16” for the bigger screen and I regret it, after using it I realized it’s too big when it’s not on a desk, it’s just not very practical for me.
@@user-jr7bb6g9ev it's pretty much designed and marketed by Apple as a mobile workstation rather than a laptop. Seeing as the chipset is so similar, the 16' really only shines with the top tier M-max chips that benefit from better sustained thermals and battery.

I had a 2013 MacBook Pro for years, finally upgraded when the 14 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro was released and it has been insane!!! I don't see a need to upgrade any time soon but the change has been incredible!
Just actually upgraded last week. My 2012 MacBook Pro just crapped the bed and I was going to order the M3 when I went to Apple the M4 was out so I ordered the 14” M4 pro chip. I’m actually excited to move from intel to the M-chips.
@@Cierrajuleee snap. I’m still using my 15” 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s now got a vertical line and the right speaker started crackling the week my new 16” m4 pro is being delivered. Think it was a sign ha
Literally bought an M4 Pro 16” a minute before this was uploaded after spending hours debating which version to get! All my indecision surrounding the ram, screen size, storage, and color. Hoping I made the right choice!
I have a 14” M1 and regretted not getting the 16”. I mostly use mine docked but when I do take it I really want the extra screen size. But it really depends on what your uses and wants are.
Currently using a 15" MBP (Intel) from 2015. Its battery is in its final death throes. Battery is swollen and case has warped as a result. Track Pad goes wacky every so often requiring a hard shutdown and restart. In the process of getting a new MBP with M4 Pro chip. Can't wait to see the amazing difference that everyone is talking about
just upgraded from the M2 Pro 14" to the M4 Pro 16" and see a HUGE difference in battery life, only regret is not getting the nano screen, but other than that I love the upgrade!
great to hear someone saying that users on M series probably don’t need to upgrade. i personally am upgrading from m1 pro to m4 max but that’s due to me not having enough RAM (should have bought an m1 max originally). if you aren’t out of RAM on M series, they still smoke pretty much anything else on the market…
Exactly my thought process, I have a 16” M3 Pro. I won’t upgrade until one of the following happens, whichever one comes first. 1- no more macOS updates for my Mac 2- a new Mac releases with ALL of the following, a chip at least 2X the performance in both CPU and GPU, at least 2X the RAM, at least 4 more hours of battery life, higher brightness, thinner and lighter design, and thinner bezels. Some other nice to haves (can compromise on those) would be, cellular, no notch (although it doesn’t bother me in the slightest), bigger display (yes I’d totally buy a 17” or 18”), better keyboard coating (less oily), less reflective display WITHOUT COMPROMISING SHARPNESS OR COLORS, larger trackpad, touchscreen and Apple Pencil support (although it has to be 0 latency like iPhones not like laggy touch laptops).
I'm a proud owner of the M1 16" model Macbook Pro but last week I bought the 14" M4 Pro Macbook Pro. At first it was a bit scary to downgrade in size, but for me personally I prefer this size more over the 16" model.
I was gonna get a used MBP M1 Max with really good specs, but I'm leaning towards the MBP M4 Pro, due to longer support from Apple. At some point Apple will stop allowing older M chips to get the latest OS, and security updates. I want a longer life out of my machine.
The main reason for me was the TB 5 and nano texture. Big for me as I work outdoors and the reflections have been hard to deal with. The TB5 is also why I got the mac mini M4 Pro model. T4 while nice the 3x bandwidth of T5 makes it very future proof. Don’t skimp if you plan to have multiple displays running high resolution. Plus T5 will allow you to transfer SSD external drives so much faster.
I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. (intel i7) It still works very well, but Im going to school now and Im leaning towards a 14" M4 Pro. I hope the one inch less screen size is not too noticeable to me and I'll miss the Touch Bar.
Honestly, as an M1 MBA owner with upgraded 16GB of memory, the only reason I'm in the market for an upgrade is to have a better display. Don't get me wrong, the Retina Display on the M1 MBA is nice, but it is definitely by 2018 standards since it's the refresh the M1 MBA is based off of. OLED can't come to Macs soon enough.
I upgraded my MacBook Pro Retina from 2013 today to a MacBook Air M2! I didn’t think I needed the MacBook Pro (at least this year) but I’m so glad to use the Apple Silicon!
Can you put the performance difference between each varient of m4 like 8c/8c in imac, 9c/10c and 10c/10c in ipad pro and all other macs( mac mini, imac, macbook pro) please 🥺
If getting a 14 inch do you think an M4 pro chip 14/20 with 48 gig gram to terabyte storage or M4 max chip 14/32 with 36 ram is a better option for a video editing? I’m trying to figure out if that extra memory bandwidth/GPU and media engine is necessary for a video editing, or the M4 pro is powerful enough and the extra ram will help? I had an M3 Max chip but the 14 inch was heating up already so I hear the Max chip can be better suited with a 16 inch… 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am also considering and confused between these two. If you get any updates or any video pls share. If I find anything I will also share. Thank you so much 😊
@ thanks! Seems that the M4 Max chip isn’t best suited in a 14 inch… I’m pretty positive. The M4 pro is going to be plenty powerful so I think that’s what I’m gonna go for :) if you get any info please lemme know too 🙏🏼 now I’m trying to figure out if the nano texture is worth it lol I hear conflicting idea on that too. Apparently it can possibly ware down in time :/
@@JustineCooksVeganThanks for sharing 😊 I have also come to know that 36gb of ram is quite less for these AI enabled chips(Not future proof also). And if we compare 36vs48 Ram and 20vs36 GPU performance there is not much difference. I am going with the regular screen I can manage with reflections but I need more accuracy in colour and contrast. 😊
@@sumitsehrawat18 cool! Yeah I’m excited for the m4 pro with 48 ram, seems like enough! Do you do video editing? The nano texture is still confusing me haha I might just try to out to see
Nano texture is a big choice! I always wanted a macbook and wanted that beautiful glass display too! But for my first Macbook ever , after going to an apple store and seeing Nano texture, I went with Nano texture! The colors still popped and 1000nits means I should have no issues with brightness! Excited!
Why get the 14” max fully spec’d since it has thermal and battery issues. Will run alot hotter, about 10-20% slower even when hooked up to external monitor. I know u know this but u might want to do some testing before committing to the 14” fully spec’d.
I bought a LV bag kislux years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
Even on the M1 Pro I run into issues where if I add noise reduction my render will take overnight. But if I don’t have effects like that it goes in real time. I don’t have that issue enough for me to upgrade but it happened on an important project last year
I currently have the full spec 16" M1 and I ordered the full spec 14" M4, mainly because i bounce between docking stations, but im wondering if the size difference is going to bug me. I cant wait until mine gets delivered.
The fully maxed-out 14” MacBook Pro doesn’t perform as well as the 16” due to thermal throttling. So, if you’re going for the 14”, choose it with the Pro chip, and if you need the performance of the Max chip, the 16” is the better choice.
I'm a cybersecurity student using a basic MacBook Air with the M1 chip, which has worked well for three years. While I have a desktop Windows PC for when I’m at home, as my MacBook can't handle everything, the MacBook is primarily for on-the-go use, especially for school. I rely on virtualization, mainly for Linux distributions on ARM, and manage memory efficiently by minimizing GUI usage. However, I’m considering an upgrade to a MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip, potentially with increased storage, especially if I need to run Windows VMs while mobile. Would this upgrade better handle these demands, or would my current setup continue to suffice?
Great video again, I’ve been watching you since 2020 and ever since you have made M series chips MacBook Pro reviews, your videos have been so great. I always look forward to the next one of these. See you at M5 Max!
I loved your video, coming from an old MacBook back in 2017 MacBook air in rose gold. I was thinking about upgrading to the M3 but since I waited so long since I left the apple store about 2 moths ago I might update to the this new one here, what do you thin about that the M3 vs M4? is it really a big difference?
My only concern is thermal throttling on the 14". Need a 40-core Max but many tubers in the past have advised against getting a Max in a 14". Hope I don't get shortchanged for the M4 version.
I feel that the best time to upgrade will be with the M5. Otherwise, I’ll just want to upgrade again from M4 to M5. My MacBook Pro 2018 is a beast, but yes... the M1-M4 will definitely outperform it. Still, I think I can wait one more year. They really need to remove that notch
Honestly I forget I have notch on my iPad the notch is not so bad I kinda notice more than Dynamic Island in my phone more than the notch but both aren’t bad I feel like the Dynamic Island on Mac would be annoying
The new M4 line still didn't get specs like Wi-Fi 7. I have to wait till M5/M6 before I can jump on the upgrade. Or wait till they create a redesign of the chassis.
I am thinking to use mac as a video edit (final cut or adobe) and sometimes games (official for mac launching games) it's better to choose m4 pro basic? or m4 pro? i didn't choose yet and i am not sure which specific spec is better. BUT i wanna buy!
I bought this one: 14-inch MacBook Pro - Space Black Hardware: * Apple M4 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine * Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, headphone jack, MagSafe 3 port * 48GB unified memory * Standard display * Accessory Kit * Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - US English * 1TB SSD storage * 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display² * 96W USB-C Power Adapter Software: * Photos, iMovie, GarageBand * Pages, Numbers, Keynote * macOS * Pro Apps Bundle for Education Total price: $3548.99 The perks of still being a student, haha. With the price discount I got the Pro Apps, so now I have Logic Pro X and Final Cut X. I didn't need the Logic Pro X license because I already have one, but it was cheaper than buying just the Final Cut X license, so that is fine!
@@HRM2010 But how to deal with the white pots? I've seen people using filters for it, would they be good and won't crack the screen when closing the lid?
nano texture is nice, microLED (inOrganicLED) with flicker free dimming could convince me to purchase. i've known about the various textures for making displays matte, it's class from Apple to stick to gloss before adopting a more advanced matte texture.
Justine, love your review, one other difference is that the base M4 models only have 1 cooling fan, while those with M4 Pro or M4 Max have 2, which means you can work them harder for longer vs the base models, before the processors are slowed down (thermal throttled) due to over heating. On top of that, the 16" models, due to their larger size, provide a larger 'heat sink' for heat to spread across/into, so they are more likely to delay the onset of thermal throttling vs the 14" models. Whether you run into that depends on what tasks you're doing, of course.
Hey @iJustine What are your thoughts on whether the 1 year product cycles are good for consumers and also if they are really good for innovation? I feel like things were better when Apple had more time to work on polish/bugs and implement bigger things (I'm thinking how Leopard was a huge deal that didn't come a year after the previous, and how even Snow Leopard was more polish than new features and probably still the best macOS ever released.)
I used my late brother's old MacBook (it was an Intel) and let me tell ya... I would've thrown it out the window had I been running Final Cut Pro. I got the M2 now, but I think I'm good for now.
I wonder how the M4 Pro compares to the M3 Pro? I'm thinking about getting a 16in model and wonder if the $500 difference between the two is worth it? I'm guessing yes. My existing large, Pro, is a 10 year old 15in Pro from 2014. thanks!
I'm a first-time MacBook buyer, and I just purchased a MacBook Pro with the base M4 chip. I've been watching many videos, and can someone explain how powerful the computer I bought is?
Hi, Justine~ Thank you for sharing~ By the way, I would like to know whether the regular M4 version can trigger another two monitors via the docking station or if only the M4 pro above can.
Justine talking about how she doesn’t regret her purchase of the 14” over the 16” makes me feel so much better about my purchase of the 14”.
Doesn't mean you won't regret it though. I couldn't adjust to the 14", so returned it and now waiting for the M4 pro 16" being delivered tomorrow!

looks like its an anti glare coating that we usually put on screen, maybe about $10-20$ and as usual apple made us pay 10 times its normal price
hmm I think is something fancier … but still I think it’s not as sharp and it scratches easier
Good to hear . . . struggling with the choice. Is the crispness of type any factor?
So it seems like its clearer on the mac than on the ipad. there is a scratch test youtube video on the ipad if you wish to see.

Just got the 14” with the m4pro chip. But the only thing im gonna use,is the Logic Pro ….and MAYBE pro tools …as a hobby😩
The apple watchband looks so premium and cool! is its nomad titanium?
My only concern is thermal throttling on the 14". Need a 40-core Max but many tubers in the past have advised against getting a Max in a 14". Hope I don't get shortchanged for the M4 version.
Ahhh tell me more
I feel that the best time to upgrade will be with the M5. Otherwise, I’ll just want to upgrade again from M4 to M5. My MacBook Pro 2018 is a beast, but yes... the M1-M4 will definitely outperform it. Still, I think I can wait one more year. They really need to remove that notch
Honestly I forget I have notch on my iPad the notch is not so bad I kinda notice more than Dynamic Island in my phone more than the notch but both aren’t bad I feel like the Dynamic Island on Mac would be annoying
The new M4 line still didn't get specs like Wi-Fi 7. I have to wait till M5/M6 before I can jump on the upgrade. Or wait till they create a redesign of the chassis.
On the fence about upgrading from my M1 Air. I’ve loved it and it still works fine for what I use it for.
Thunderbolt 5 120GHZ is only for displays, I heard someone say after the release videos.
I am thinking to use mac as a video edit (final cut or adobe) and sometimes games (official for mac launching games)
it's better to choose m4 pro basic? or m4 pro?
i didn't choose yet and i am not sure which specific spec is better.
BUT i wanna buy!
I bought this one:
14-inch MacBook Pro - Space Black
Hardware:
* Apple M4 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine
* Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, headphone jack, MagSafe 3 port
* 48GB unified memory
* Standard display
* Accessory Kit
* Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - US English
* 1TB SSD storage
* 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display²
* 96W USB-C Power Adapter
Software:
* Photos, iMovie, GarageBand
* Pages, Numbers, Keynote
* macOS
* Pro Apps Bundle for Education
Total price: $3548.99
The perks of still being a student, haha. With the price discount I got the Pro Apps, so now I have Logic Pro X and Final Cut X. I didn't need the Logic Pro X license because I already have one, but it was cheaper than buying just the Final Cut X license, so that is fine!
I still have the 14" M3 & I'm thinking to change to the new 16" or wait to the M5....
IT’S BEAUTIFUL……………😭❤️
watching this from a 14" MacBook Pro M3 pro. And I love the computer
Are you guys nano texture team or glossy one? Why if so? I'll buy one next year. I never got a mac so I'm not sure what to expect.
Glass. The nano texture stuff SCRATCHES, you will end up having to deal with apples planned obsolescence in no time.
@@7long but is it possible to use another screen protector to apply the mate finish? or would it damage the screen when closing the lid?
Gloss - nano texture results in duller colors and less deep blacks
@@HRM2010 But how to deal with the white pots? I've seen people using filters for it, would they be good and won't crack the screen when closing the lid?
glossy. no argument
nano texture is nice, microLED (inOrganicLED) with flicker free dimming could convince me to purchase.
i've known about the various textures for making displays matte, it's class from Apple to stick to gloss before adopting a more advanced matte texture.
Justine, where did you get your cute Super Mario shirt??? Link please? Thanks ❤
Justine, love your review, one other difference is that the base M4 models only have 1 cooling fan, while those with M4 Pro or M4 Max have 2, which means you can work them harder for longer vs the base models, before the processors are slowed down (thermal throttled) due to over heating. On top of that, the 16" models, due to their larger size, provide a larger 'heat sink' for heat to spread across/into, so they are more likely to delay the onset of thermal throttling vs the 14" models. Whether you run into that depends on what tasks you're doing, of course.
M4 base has one fan. M4 Pro has two fans.
@@aquepaique14” Max too?
@@hayajalab yes
@@hayajalabMax has 3 fans )
Hey @iJustine What are your thoughts on whether the 1 year product cycles are good for consumers and also if they are really good for innovation? I feel like things were better when Apple had more time to work on polish/bugs and implement bigger things (I'm thinking how Leopard was a huge deal that didn't come a year after the previous, and how even Snow Leopard was more polish than new features and probably still the best macOS ever released.)
Ill stick to my m3 lol. just got it in April.
same
same
Wanted an M4 Macbook Pro..
After watching i want one even more.
😂
THANK YOU! You convinced me to trade-in my current MacBook Pro and level up to the new one :)
Does this mac have eye tracking because the iPad Air with center stage has eye tracking
If nano texture is added to iPad mini then that would great for folks who use the iPad mini as a ereader and sketchbook.
I used my late brother's old MacBook (it was an Intel) and let me tell ya... I would've thrown it out the window had I been running Final Cut Pro. I got the M2 now, but I think I'm good for now.
I wonder how the M4 Pro compares to the M3 Pro? I'm thinking about getting a 16in model and wonder if the $500 difference between the two is worth it? I'm guessing yes. My existing large, Pro, is a 10 year old 15in Pro from 2014. thanks!
Love your Desktop set-up ~ Sweet
iJustine is 🔥
I love my Mac book M2 laptop. I am using it for xcode, and been loving it ever since.
Do I justine getting back the product or keeping its?
Do you think the nano texture display makes the color black up pure lighter and text appear less sharp?
Time to upgrade from a 2015 early retina MacBook?
Time to upgrade from a 2013 late macbook pro.
So cool. Thanks Justine 😊
Today I just preordered from MacBook Air 2017 with intel so I hope I took the right choice
I’m still using a 2015 mac which I got in 2016. I can’t run anything on it anymore without it crashing. Wish I could afford a new one
I'm a first-time MacBook buyer, and I just purchased a MacBook Pro with the base M4 chip. I've been watching many videos, and can someone explain how powerful the computer I bought is?
I didn’t know that you could do that in the notes! I went opened it up on my MacBook m2 but it didn’t have it :(
Love your videos! Always did for years!
I’m using my MacBook Pro 2019 . Should I upgrade it to the MacBook Pro m4 or m4 pro?? Thank you
*No Space Black Apple Stickers?*
what do you do with older devices? Do you re sell them or give them away?
LOVE YOUR ENERGY I LOVE WATCHING YOU UNBOX TECH I WISH BOTH SAMSUNG AND APPLE WERE WAY WAY MORE CHEAPER ESPECIALLY IN MY COUNTRY
Still watching on my 2012 macbook pro but I'm looking forward to the silicon upgrade soon :D
The performance boost sounds insane, and that unboxing was so satisfying. 😍
I've never had a MacBook or MacBook Pro ever and now I have one :)
does macbook still fail due to screen flex cable fracture ?
I think the 2018s fixed that
Thinking about getting the 14” looks so sick…Hi Justine love that Mario shirt.
do you recommend upgrading from 14" base M3 pro to 14" M4 pro base ?
No one would ever recommend that and you know it. If you want it do it but it would be considered stupid by most.
hell no
Hi, Justine~
Thank you for sharing~
By the way, I would like to know whether the regular M4 version can trigger another two monitors via the docking station or if only the M4 pro above can.
Wow it so cool i'm buying it right now
14 inches is way too small for me. I am an animator, and the bigger the display, the better. My eyes would suffer with that tiny 14 incher..😂
Hmmm.. should get new Mac Mini or Macbook?
Should i buy m4 base version or go with m3pro ?
Which is most powerful compared of this two?
24hours, isn't it only on the base M4? At least on the 14".
Does it shoot?
sure max it out when you get everything free . I would too
