While the Apple MacBook Pro M4 launched under a week ago, you can already get a $125 discount on it. Should you get one?

Apple's latest MacBook Pro is a powerhouse of a laptop for professionals and prosumers. But if you're just looking for something to browse the web and stream Netflix, stick with the MacBook Air.

The M4 Pro and M4 Max deliver exceptional performance and potential to the new MacBook Pro laptops. Then there's the M4

The 16-inch MacBook Pro, like the previous model, features a 16.2-inch, 3,456 x 2,234-pixel resolution display with ProMotion technology (i.e., up to 120Hz refresh rate). As expected, the display looked gorgeous while I feasted my eyes on the new Squid Game 2 trailer. It's rich, vibrant, and pure visual eye candy.

Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman is well known for keeping on top of Apple rumors across the tech spectrum, and the MacBook Air is no different. In a September newsletter, Gurman cites sources close to Apple that have pinned the MacBook Air M4 launch date as coming in Q1 2025.

Apple's brand-new M4 MacBook Pro 14-inch is already on sale, with preorder discounts knocking triple digits off the new release in addition to savings on three years of AppleCare.

However, Apple dropped the M4 chip and obliterated Windows laptops in one fell swoop. On Geekbench 6, the MacBook Pro notched a sweet multi-core score of 15,199. This beats our most powerful non-gaming PC laptop, Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, which delivered a score of 14,548 on the same test.
