Buying advice

MacBook Pro 16 (M4 Pro) is the large-screen MacBook for people who want long battery life, a top-tier XDR display, quiet sustained performance, and enough CPU/GPU headroom for serious development, photo, audio, and video work. The 16-inch body is not as travel-light as the Air or 14-inch Pro, but it is the better pick when screen space, ports, speakers, and all-day heavy productivity matter.
