Apple MacBook Pro 14.2" M4 Pro Space Black 2024
85 out of 100 medium confidence 17 reviews
The M4 Pro MacBook Pro is widely praised for its exceptional performance, especially for photo and video editing, AI tasks, and multitasking. Users upgrading from older Intel or M1 models note a dramatic improvement in speed and efficiency. However, one verified buyer reported receiving an older 2024 model instead of the expected 2026 unit, and there are minor concerns about the SD card reader speed and lack of Wi-Fi 7 support.

Cons
- Received older model instead of new
- SD card reader slower than advertised
- No Wi-Fi 7 support
