The MacBook Pro, Apple’s most advanced laptop, has a sleek and lightweight design, as well as powerful performance and long battery life. The MacBook Pro with the M3 chip was launched by the company in 2023 and exceeded all expectations, leaving the competition behind. Apple plans to launch the MacBook Pro with the M4 chip in 2024, an evolution of the M3 that promises to be even faster, more efficient, and smarter.
When will the MacBook Pro with the M4 chip be released?
The M4 chip will be manufactured with the same 3-nanometer technology as the M3, but with performance and efficiency improvements, around 25% faster. This new chip will stand out for its advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, including a significantly more powerful Neural Engine with up to 16 cores.
How much will the MacBook Pro with
the M4 chip cost?
Prices for the new MacBooks with the M4 chip should follow the line of the current models, although there are rumors of a possible increase of around 100 euros. The base 14-inch model will start at around $2,149.
What will be the MacBook Pro M4 variants?
The MacBook Pro M4 lineup will include several models:
- Base 14-inch model: Equipped with the standard M4 chip.
- High performance 14 and 16-inch models: Equipped with the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, which are more powerful versions of the M4.
What will the MacBook Pro with M4 chip specifications be?
No significant design changes are expected for the MacBook Pro with the launch of the M4. Apple tends to update the design of its laptops every four or five years, and the last redesign was in 2021. So any design change may only appear in 2025 or 2026.
Apple is betting heavily on AI with the M4 chip, including new features in macOS 15 and iOS 18 such as auto-generated emojis and suggested replies for emails and messages. The M4 should be especially powerful for AI tasks, capable of performing up to 38 trillion operations per second.
