A majestic piece of modern machinery, Apple’s jacked new 16-inch, M4 Pro-fueled MacBook Pro is a future-proofed investment for creative professionals who run intense multimedia-editing apps and software on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Put simply, this MacBook Pro is a beauteous behemoth. With a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 22,758, it’s the fastest laptop we’ve ever tested by a not-close margin. (The runner-up, Lenovo’s $3,599.99 Legion Pro 7i 16 OLED Gen 10, scored a 20,369.) It “can handle heavy workloads without a single stutter,” said Kimberly Gedeon, former Mashable tech editor. It’s also incredibly long-lasting, surviving for nearly 21 hours in our battery life benchmark. Out of all the MacBooks we’ve ever tested, it has the second-best battery life. That’s amazing considering how powerful it is.<\/p>\n

While it may look like a pretty standard MacBook on the outside \u2014 minimalist, relatively thin, made from aluminum \u2014 Apple’s tacked on a few subtle but noteworthy design upgrades from the previous generation. For one, it comes with three next-gen Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports for zippy data transfer speeds. (These accompany an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 charging port, and a headphone jack.) Two, it can hit up to 1000 nits of SDR brightness, a bump from 600 nits in its M3 Pro predecessor. There’s also an option to add a glare-reducing “nano-texture” display finish, which wowed Gedeon when she took the laptop into her backyard: “I didn’t have to squint, adjust angles, nor play hide-and-seek with shadows,” she wrote. And three, the new MacBook Pro’s camera is now a 12MP Center Stage shooter (up from 1080p) with support for Desk View, a feature that produces an overhead view of the user’s desk.<\/p>\n

Its high-fidelity six-speaker sound system is the same…<\/p>\n
