What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the MacBook Pro? A difficult question, we know. At first, you might think of the ultimate power. If you touch it, you will surely be impressed by the beauty and the Premium feel. If you happen to see it in action, you will be "stuck" on its magical screen that, no matter how much we want to describe it in words, it cannot be done. This particular package predisposes you to create, and that is the most important of all. Let's take a general look at the new MacBook Pro.

What does the new MacBook Pro series introduce?

1. Power

Starting with the obvious, we will say power. Apple's processors have always been at the cutting edge of these machines. This time the new protagonists are the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. Overall, Apple reports that these are processors with nearly 3.5 times better performance than the M1 series.

Below we see indicative examples of how much better the new processors are compared to the previous counterparts:

2. Battery

The battery of the MacBook Pro is improved and can serve you with a single charge for up to 24 hours, reaching 50% charge in 30 minutes.

3. Connectivity

The versions with the M4 Pro/Max processors now feature Thunderbolt 5 compared to Thunderbolt 4 of the previous generation. 

Practically, this means that:

• With Thunderbolt 5, file transfers will be faster, saving time.
• It can connect three 4K displays or even displays with higher resolution and refresh rates, such as 8K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz.
• It supports charging up to 140W.
• It provides double the PCIe bandwidth compared to Thunderbolt 4, which improves the performance of external units, such as external graphics cards (eGPU) and storage units (SSDs).

4. Nano-texture Display

The Nano-texture display is an optional feature available on MacBook Pro. Its purpose is to reduce reflections and glare without affecting image quality. This technology is designed for professionals and users who work in bright environments where traditional glossy or matte screens cause issues due to reflections.

Overall, we would say that Apple, wanting to focus on the literal meaning of the word "Pro," offers the best it has once again in processing power, autonomy, and image. Certainly, those who need these specific features in demanding professional fields such as image and sound editing, music production, 3D editing, and programming will find a valuable ally.
