Renewal: New M4 MacBook Pro was announced

We’re pretty sure Apple is working on it M4 MacBook Pro. We have already heard about an M4 Pro chip in the recently announced Mac minibut until recently we didn’t hear about the M4 Max chip, a more powerful version of the company’s latest silicon.

While there have been some faint rumblings, this particular leak comes straight from Apple, so it more or less confirms the existence of a high-end chip.

In response to Mark Gurman, User X pointed out that Apple’s website has had an asset with the “M4 Max” for a while. Of course, Apple quickly removed it, but once the post was published, it was too late to stop the spread (and speculation) about what might differentiate the M4 Max from the already powerful M4 and M4 Pro chips.

“Given that the ‘M4 Max’ image resources now exist on Apple’s website (this was not the case last time I checked).” Post X by Charlie Joseph.

As you’d expect from the Max moniker, this chip is likely to be offered with high-end MacBook Pro models and will go a long way in helping it remain one of best laptops available. It makes sense for Apple to offer all three chips with its high-end notebooks, although we’ll have to wait for the company to announce something official before we know exactly which chips go where.

Hopefully, Apple also includes a minimum of 16GB of RAM with the 14-inch MacBook Pro, as it did with the Mac mini (and the 16-inch Pro). This would be a huge performance boost for an expensive laptop and help make it more enjoyable. deserves the name Pro.
