This year, the MacBook Pro M4 is faster than ever with a great nano display option.
The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 laptops have a lot in common.
They both come with improved webcams and the M4 chip offers better performance than the M3 models.

Cnet's experts conducted a detailed review of the MacBook Pro M4, including running battery tests and performing some tests on older MacBooks and Windows laptops for comparison.
Overall, if you regularly work outdoors or indoors with direct light hitting the screen, spend the extra money to get the version with a nano-texture display.
The product has extremely "top" performance.

In Vietnam, the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 has not yet been officially available.
The lowest version is priced from 44.99 million VND.
This price is quite "expensive" compared to many other products of the same size on the market.

Unless you need the extra bandwidth of Thunderbolt 5 (for faster data transfers and support for more external displays), opting for the new MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro or M4 Max processor is unnecessary.
For the 16-inch MacBook Pro M4, the larger memory versions are quite useful for creative work, and the M4 Max chip also comes with a larger GPU core count, so
they are suitable for professional users, even if they are quite high.
Efficiency
In testing, the display on the MacBook Pro M4 14 has a nano-texture coating, but it doesn’t affect the accuracy, white point, or brightness of the display compared to last year’s versions. The display controller can now push brightness up to 1,000 nits in SDR.
However, the webcam on this new version is better than the FaceTime HD camera. Because of the higher resolution, the new webcam allows users to zoom in or out on objects. On top of that, the exposure and color balance of this part are not much worse than other cameras from Apple.

Internally, the M4 chips have more CPU and GPU cores than the M3 chips, combined with a faster neural engine, so they perform better overall. For example, the 14-core CPU in the M4 Pro chip has essentially the same performance as the 16C M3 Max. If you're using an M2-generation MacBook, the performance gap is significantly wider.
All M4 chips have the same 16-core Gen 2 neural engine that performs exactly the same. They also perform significantly better than the first generation when running Apple's intelligence features, including background removal for video calls, content summarization, text editing, object recognition, translation, upscaling, and more.
The power of the M4 chip on the new MacBook Pro is impressive.

And just like before, the MacBook Pro M4's performance will drop significantly across the board when users switch to power-saving mode to extend battery life.
However, users can still play games smoothly on the new MacBook Pro M4. With some games like Hades 2, the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 can still reach 120fps. To play at higher frame rates, users will have to connect to an external display.
In short, the latest MacBook Pro M4 Series is an attractive and valuable choice. In addition, iFan can consider choosing the previous generation of MacBook Pro to save money. In addition, according to rumors, fans can also wait another 2 years to own the MacBook Pro line with a new, more interesting design.
