The biggest reason to upgrade to the MacBook Pro M4 is the performance. This machine gets the newest M4 chip that is based on a 3-nanometer process, promising the fastest CPU core and better multithreaded performance than M3. Based on our testing, the M4 blows a lot of the competition away but not on every test.

While the Apple MacBook Pro M4 launched under a week ago, you can already get a $125 discount on it. Should you get one?

The M4 Pro and M4 Max deliver exceptional performance and potential to the new MacBook Pro laptops. Then there's the M4

This popular M4 Max configuration packs a 32-core GPU and 1TB storage, making it a well-equipped model that's $200 off and in stock now.

However, Apple dropped the M4 chip and obliterated Windows laptops in one fell swoop. On Geekbench 6, the MacBook Pro notched a sweet multi-core score of 15,199. This beats our most powerful non-gaming PC laptop, Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, which delivered a score of 14,548 on the same test.

But there’s a catch. The trade-in offers are limited to current Apple owners.

Apple's brand-new M4 MacBook Pro 14-inch is already on sale, with preorder discounts knocking triple digits off the new release in addition to savings on three years of AppleCare.

The MacBook Pro 16 with M4 Pro feels like a powerhouse, even more so against the base M4, but I'm wondering where the hell is WiFi 7?
