Apple MacBook Pro 14"
The 16-core M4 Max chip and 40-core GPU with ray tracing deliver desktop-class compute in a 1.6kg aluminum chassis, backed by a fast 8TB SSD and 64GB of unified memory. The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display offers 1000 nits sustained brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate, with an optional nano-texture glass finish that cuts reflections for clear viewing in bright environments. This configuration is best for data scientists and 3D artists who need to run massive simulations and renders locally without a desktop.
