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

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often the improvements are in the single or low double digits.

Apple wrapped up its 2024 October announcements with its MacBook Pro lineup for the year, including the debut of the M4 Max chip. MacBook Airs are getting more memory, but no M4.

As for the M4 Pro, apple states that it is “up to 3x faster than models with M1 Pro, speeding up workflows like geo-mapping, structural engineering, and data modeling.” The M4 Max offers “3.5x the performance of M1 Max, ripping through heavy creative workloads like visual effects, 3D animation, and film scoring.”

The MacBook Pro 16 with M4 Pro feels like a powerhouse, even more so against the base M4, but I'm wondering where the hell is WiFi 7?
