Overview

The Apple MacBook Pro "M4 Pro" 14-Core CPU/20-Core GPU 16-Inch (2024) model is equipped with a 4.5 GHz Apple M4 Pro processor with fourteen CPU cores (10 performance and 4 efficiency), a 20-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It comes with a default of 24 GB or 48 GB of "unified" onboard RAM and a 512 GB onboard SSD. Both RAM and SSD can be customized with higher-capacity options at purchase but are not upgradable subsequently.


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 16.2-inch LED-backlit "Liquid Retina XDR" display with a 3456x2234 resolution (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 17-24 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 16-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 for an additional charge), an improved camera, faster Thunderbolt ports, and better battery life.

Evaluation

The 2024 16-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M4 Pro chip provided a compelling package for users prioritizing screen real estate and battery life alongside powerful performance. The larger chassis offered superior thermal management, allowing the M4 Pro chip to sustain high performance for extended periods. This model benefited from all the generational upgrades, including a brighter Liquid Retina XDR display, an improved Center Stage webcam, and the leap to Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. [4] While the M4 Max variants offered more graphical power, this M4 Pro version was praised for its incredible efficiency, delivering robust performance for demanding tasks like photo and video editing while providing an exceptionally long-lasting battery. [6] It proved to be a fantastic and well-rounded choice for professionals who desired the immersive experience of a 16-inch display without the top-tier cost of the M4 Max chip. [11]
