Starting prices range from $1,599 to $3,199, and preorders are now live through the Apple Store, Amazon, and Best Buy.

What's new
Announced Wednesday (Oct. 30) following a brief leak on Apple's website, the new models include a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip, plus 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. They all come in space black and silver.

The M4 MacBook Pros are all equipped with Liquid Retina XDR displays that offer up to 1,000 nits of SDR brightness (a bump from 600 nits for SDR in their predecessors), and buyers have the option of upgrading them with a new "nano-texture display" for $150 more. This "dramatically reduces glare and distractions from reflections," says Apple. It throws in a free polishing cloth worth $19.

Apple also claims that the new MacBook Pros offer up to 24 hours of battery life, which would make them the longest-lasting Macs ever made. (The 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro lasted nearly 17 hours per charge in Mashable's testing, for what it's worth. A 24-hour battery life would put Apple's laptops on par with fresh Copilot+ PCs like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7.)
On the connectivity front, the M4-series MacBook Pros all have an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 charging port, a headphone jack, and support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The M4 model tacks on three Thunderbolt 4 ports, while the M4 Pro and M4 Max versions have three Thunderbolt 5 ports that promise faster-than-double transfer speeds.
M4 configurations
Geared toward "entrepreneurs, students, creators, or anyone doing what they love," Apple's new starter MacBook Pro comes with 16GB to 32GB of memory and 512GB to 2TB of SSD storage. (That first number is a welcome bump from the M3 generation's 8GB of base RAM.)
It starts at $1,599 and maxes out at $2,749 if you tack on the nano-texture display option. It's only available in a 14-inch size.

The M4 Pro MacBook Pro is aimed at "researchers, developers, engineers, creative pros, or anyone that needs even faster performance for more demanding workflows." It can be configured with 24GB to 48GB of RAM and 512GB to 4TB of storage.
