Overview

The Apple MacBook Pro "M4 Pro" 12-Core CPU/16-Core GPU 14-Inch (2024) model is equipped with a 4.5 GHz Apple M4 Pro processor featuring twelve CPU cores (8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 16-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It comes with a default of 24 GB of "unified" onboard RAM and a 512 GB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and SSD can be customized with higher capacity options at the time of purchase, but not upgraded afterwards.


Offered in silver and "Space Black", this notebook includes an integrated 12-megapixel "Center Stage" camera, a "high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers," a backlit "Magic Keyboard" with a "Touch ID" sensor, and a large "Force Touch" trackpad.


Additionally, it features a high-resolution 14.2-inch LED-backlit "Liquid Retina XDR" display with a resolution of 3024x1964 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 1000 nits SDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio), and an integrated battery providing an Apple-estimated 14-22 hours of runtime.


Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt 5 ports (USB-C connector), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a "MagSafe 3" power connector.


Compared to its predecessor, this 14-inch "2024" MacBook Pro model is similar in many respects, but has a faster processor/graphics processor architecture, a slightly brighter display (with a nano-texture option at additional cost), an improved camera, faster Thunderbolt ports, and better battery life.

Evaluation

The 2024 14-inch MacBook Pro with the base M4 Pro chip solidified its position as a formidable tool for a wide range of professionals. This model delivered a significant CPU performance increase over its M3 generation equivalent, making it an even more capable machine for demanding tasks. [3] Key improvements included the introduction of faster Thunderbolt 5 ports, a brighter display in standard mode, and an improved webcam. While retaining the highly-praised chassis design from previous years, this iteration offered a more potent combination of power and efficiency, all while maintaining excellent battery life. [4] It represented a well-balanced option, providing substantial 'Pro' level power without needing to step up to the more graphically-focused higher-tier chip configurations. [1]
