While you might be more familiar with Apple’s phones and tablets, the company also happens to make some of the best laptops on the market right now. The latest M4 MacBook Pros boast impressive performance, but retain that familiar, sleek design that Apple fans have come to love. A raft of advanced hardware, including that Apple-designed M4 chip, means there’s never been a better time to buy a new portable Mac. Unfortunately, the M4 MacBook Pros are just as costly as the previous-gen models. But there’s good news — there are already ways to get Apple’s latest machines for less than retail price.
The performance on these machines got a major upgrade late last year when Apple announced that new MacBook Pros would feature the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max processors. The M4 chips increase the CPU core count compared to M3 chips and promise better AI performance with a new neural engine. This chip was first seen in the iPad Pro, followed by the iMac. Now you can find it on MacBooks, too.
