The Apple 16" MacBook Pro with M4 Max Chip (Late 2024) is over 3x faster than prior models and is designed with professional creatives in mind. Key features include:
Apple M4 Max 14-core processor
16.2" 3456 × 2234 Retina display
36GB RAM and 1TB SSD
32-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine
New MacBook Pro for the M4 Family. This iteration in the MacBook line boasts its fourth-generation M-series chip with ten performance cores, four efficiency cores, and a fast 32-core GPU, making this Apple’s most advanced silicon architecture to-date. It significantly increases the performance of even the most demanding tasks, including video editing, 3D rendering, and gaming. To accommodate the latest Apple Intelligence, this laptop sports a Neural Engine that is over 3x more powerful than prior models. For a model very similar to this but in a more portable size, check out the M4 Pro MacBook.
16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR. When people describe high-end displays, fancy words like “XDR” and “Liquid Retina” can say a lot but mean very little to most people. What does matter is the 3456 × 2234-resolution display offers up to 1600 nits of peak brightness for HDR content. Colors look vibrant, blacks are truly black, and video runs flawlessly. Video editors can lock in a refresh rate that works for their workflow and the laptop can handle up to two high-resolution external displays.
Packed with Pro Ports. The M4 Max MacBook Pro includes a wide range of inputs and outputs: three Thunderbolt 5 ports, all supporting power delivery and DisplayPort, one HDMI output that supports 8K displays, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an fast UHS-II SD card slot. It is also equipped with MagSafe 3, a magnetic charging port that charges the MacBook super quickly.
New Era of Apple AI. With a newly-redesigned Siri and powerful generative models, the M4 series of laptops are fully equipped to handle the demands of AI. Access ChatGPT without having to start an account and with obscured IP addresses to protect your privacy. With Apple’s Image Playground, you can create imagery from text descriptions, which is integrated in Messenger, Freeform, and other apps (or simply use in the dedicated Image Playground app). Systemwide Writing Tools helps you refine your writing with proofreading, text summaries, and alternative wording. There is also a new feature for the built-in camera called Center Stage, which uses machine learning to help keep you in the center of the frame during video calls. The camera zooms and pans automatically as you move around, adding engaging dynamics to your FaceTime and Zoom calls.
