Buying advice

Pick the 14-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro if you want much of Apple’s top mobile creative performance in a smaller body than the 16-inch model. It is best for developers, editors, photographers, and musicians who travel often but still need serious GPU/media-engine headroom; value-focused users should compare the M4 Pro version first.
