Is it possible these days to buy a laptop that\u2019s too powerful? Chances are that photographers will be rocking mid-level machines capable of running Photoshop while video types are lugging something more potent around with them, but this? This knocks just about every laptop ever tested into second place. The Vanilla M5 version of the MacBook Pro was already pretty good, supplying some of the fastest single-core performance the benchmarking apps had ever seen, but was left behind in multi-core and graphics performance by Windows PCs with more physical cores and discrete graphics chips.<\/p>\n

In response, Apple has done what it\u2019s done for every generation of M-series CPUs, and released a version with more of everything. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve got here, and it\u2019s so good it\u2019s almost scary. There are already two MacBook Pros in the big list of the best laptops for video editing, will this knock the M4 Pro off the top?<\/p>\n
