Apple finished off its week Mac announcements by announcing the new M4 MacBook Pros as well as an update to the M4 MacBook air range.
The MacBook Pro now comes with an M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, with each of the devices now coming with a minimum 16GB of memory which Apple says is required for Apple Intelligence.
As far as other hardware improvements go, there’s a new 12MP Center Stage camera, a longer 24 hour battery life and you can now get a new nano-texture display option (like in the iMac and Apple Studio display) which is said to help with glare. The display also just got brighter with the ability to show SDR content at 1000 nits.
Just like the Mac Mini, you can now get Thunderbolt 5 as well, and whilst it’s probably overkill at the moment it’s great for future proofing.
Apple has also announced that the MacBook Air will now come with a minimum 16GB of ram at the same starting price of $1,599 AUD, which is obviously a big deal.
The M4 MacBook Pro will release on November 8th and is available pre-order now. It comes in space black and silver at the below prices:
