M4 MacBook Pro - Officially! Don't Buy ANY MacBook Right Now...
Just recently, Apple showed off its entire line of MacBooks with the M3 chip (M3 MacBook AIR and M3 MacBook Pro). However, it is already clear that the Apple's chip update is not far off. Very soon, in 2024 Apple will show a completely new series of MacBooks with a new generation of M processors. Is it worth waiting for the novelty, or will the M3 MacBook be enough? Or maybe the M1 Pro is enough? Let's find out!

KZheadr after the M4 release : Don't buy Macbook M4, but M3 or M2 instead.
Don't buy the M4 MacBooks ... just wait until late 2025 and buy the M5 MacBooks ... don't do that either. Wait until 2026 ... and you'll always be waiting for the "perfect time" to buy a new computer. Buy one when it makes sense for you!
Ah shalap
Exactly! Just pretty much commented the same thing. So annoying.. wait… no wait gain.
Really could just buy a decent spec M1 Pro variant and call it a day. I’m waiting on a good price m2 pro myself though. Colors suck since you only get two options.
*stares in 1 week old M3 Pro MacBook Pro* 🙃
Me too!! Literally 1 week old
got mine ordered and it's coming in 2 weeks 😭
@@titohermans9356 enjoy! They are beautiful and amazing machines
Stares into PC with my Macbook Pro M3 max arriving tomorrow .. xD
@@titohermans9356just return it you have 14 days. Let’s all wait until 2025 for the best laptop from Apple!
It’s confirmed!!! The new M4 lineup will come with 512 mb RAM
not 32kb?
I think it's 8 gigabits.
That had BETTER be 512 gigabytes of max unified memory in the M4 Max Macbook Pro, and an 18 inch MacBook Pro variant, or they are shooting themselves in the feet without competitive pricing, after the $200.00 upcharge to the customer, per 8 GB RAM fiasco Apple has to untangle. As a PC person, I remain very impressed by most of Apple Silicon, but it just needs way more gaming support to match PC, Apple Silicon is more than capable of next generation gaming today, at the same level of the modern PC, with the right optimizations and more importantly Apple, real triple AAA video games for the Macintosh, with real third party support and real AI support and real path tracing support. Apple cannot afford to ignore gaming any longer.

People don’t listen to these tech bros If you have a M1 Pro or even a M2 pro YOU DONT NEED TO UPGRADE !
What about intel users?
You should wait until your device is RIP 🫵💀 @@NCHLTII
@@NCHLTII If you're upgrading from an intel you'll see a MAJOR performance upgrade....if you're already on an M series already it won't be as much as a performance upgrade like coming from an Intel Mac.....and it depends on what you use your Mac for. If you're doing really cpu intensive 3d animation and rendering or something like After effects projects with a ton of layers etc...youll want to get the highest performance you can get....but if you're doing something like audio production , you dont need to wait to buy an M4, Im on an M3 Max but and M1 Max would actually be enough but coming from an Intel I just went for the M3 Max because I probably won't need to upgrade for a long time unless I want to get into all the AI features apparently coming but I'm not really interested in having AI deeply integrated in my Mac right now.
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro Touchbar with 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. It‘s my first MacBook I ever bought and already faster than my Windows Laptop. I thought about upgreading to an M1 MacBook Air, but the most intensive thing I do is playing Minecraft… Does it make sense? (Touchbar and Keyboard where almost new when I bought it a year ago and haven’t failed) My biggest hope of an upgrade would be the battery life, as I want to use my MacBook in school more often (in Pages my MacBook has about 2-4 hours of battery time).
Should I get a 16" m3 for 3100 USD? I am sick of windows
Hi Arthur, you have convinced me to wait for the M4 MacBook Pro! May I ask which MacBook stand you are using in the video? Keep up the good work
Honestly don't know why they want to do a yearly upgrade. The M2 and M3 Macs (and even the M1 Macs - rocking an m1 MBP myself) are incredible - don't know what they can improve on in just a few months.
They need sales and profit. It’s the trend with any technology. If you don’t improve, innovate, copy and release each year a new model? Then you go down. That’s what happend to many big companies in tech. On the other hand it’s not needed, look at old tv’s, fridge, washingmachine, they still work 50 years later. The light bulbs from 100+ years ago still work. You see the trend? You need to consume preferable each year so they make max profit.
I just bought me an M1 air for 650. AWESOME machine, love it.
You realize not everyone bought the M1, M2, or M3, right? Why WOULDN'T they release a new model every year for those who ARE in the market? Are you equally confused why auto manufacturers release a new and improved model every year?
@@OC-CPAit’s simply and purely a matter of profit as not about innovation as the “improvements are incremental
@@cbastien92 Of course the improvements are incremental; that’s literally how technology has always worked. If you think you can do better; then go start your own company.
That’s ridiculous 8 GB of RAM and 250 GB storage. As excited as I am for the M4 and AI I’m not buying that overly expensive computer with those low numbers. That’s a rip off! People and youtubers keep excusing them too.
Imagine a new M4 MacBook pro with 8 GB of Ram this should be absolutely ridiculous especially for the price of these machines.
Rookie
You realize you don't HAVE to buy the base model, right? That's like going to McDonald's and being FURIOUS that they have a dollar menu when you want a Big Mac.
@@OC-CPA it is called a macbook "PRO" for crying out loud... 8GB is one fat slap
@@subvind It’s literally just an OPTION. Why do you think REMOVING an option would benefit consumers?
Will the newer chips improve on cooling efficiency or will they keep getting hotter? How about this security vulnerability issue that’s been going around on forums, is that getting sorted?
can I get the link to the macbook pro stand in this video please ?
Unfortunately, I just bought MBP 14” M2 Pro last week… But I got it for only 1500$, and it’s basically a brand new with 12 core cpu, 19 core gpu & 1tb ssd. I guess it’s worth it🤷♂️
Nothing unfortunate about that. It's a really good computer and you got it for a good price.
@ArmelVFX please don’t tell us is a 8gb ram 🙂
@@nicmate2543nah, its 16gb.

I have an "old" M2 Macbook Air and I have no need to upgrade until 2026 or if I do it I will go for a M3 Pro. I know my needs and my bank account. I don't buy a Mac following the hype but following my usage...so let's wait for the M5 or M6 a few months later 😂😂
That's where I'm at too
Same here. I got the M2 base model and it works smooth as butter. The M1 was just as good. As long as they can't make the new Macs gaming beasts, then their is no need really to upgrade.
Same here, I have an M2 Air. I still have my old Air 2015 11" 8gb 512gb, bought in early 2018 preowned. Dinky little thing. Good enough for several things still and for the train when I prefer to leave the expensive m2 at home. It'll go out of OS support before long and at that point I'll put the excellent Zorin OS Pro on it. All the things I do on it are cross platform anyway. The M2 is for all that but faster and for getting into iOS development which has to be on a mac and a recent one preferably.
Realistically it’s what you do with it more than what it is. Just don’t get base spec storage
Wish the 15" Macbook Pro was a thing again. 14" is too small and 16" is mahoosive.
I completely agree. 15” with the small bezels is the perfect size.
Nah, 14" with small bezels and without the notch is more than enough. 15" is practically a 16"
Will that make macbook air’s cheaper? Because im buying macbook air m2. So should i wait?
No. The MacBook Air just got refreshed with the M3 chip not even 2 months ago so it will be awhile before the Air gets refreshed again
When??
What about MacBook Pro M4 Extreme? They confirmed this.
wondering why do you have russian keyboard?
I wanted that darn sky blue one from the renders that never came in the first three generations.
I just purchased MBA M3 with 16GB/512SSD. Will it worth to wait for MBA M4 or my purchase will survive until 2029?
There will always be something better to wait for. You M3 MBA will likely serve you well for several years,
I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro 13".
The keyboard looks crazy!
My M1 Pro barely used over 10% CPU usage.
The world economy not that great people tent to buy 2nd hand laptop n phone
I just want the MagSafe & no screen notch.
I need new Mac Studio or iMac Pro
Meanwhile people who actually want to buy a functioning device - buys a device when they need one
I don't want OLED in the Macbook. The mini led Retina display in the pro models is bright and has amazing contrast
OLED does not have professional grade colour. There are no reference grade monitors using OLED due to inaccurate colour and the lack of an accurate white balance. OLED can’t be calibrated as the slightest change to the viewing angle alters the white balance
True. Oled really weird tech for such big money. Miniled looks more interesting since it kind of evolution of lcd tech.
Oh crap, and I just bought a Macbook Pro M3 Pro …
you'll be fine until 2028
lol, I just bought an M3 Max less than a month ago...Apple always does this to me....two months after I bought a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro they dropped the M1's lol
same...
@@nicolasstrawberry4148 well maybe dodging the m1 wasn’t the best in therms of luck but if you bought that new in 99% times is pointless to wrap our heads, it’s their marketing.. unless you pay the 100% for a 15% more powerful cpu the launch day.. you are like 7 months away from another gen.. this is ridicolous. I’m thinking about buying a mac for years. Still not convinced, apart from the money (i would spend a lot for a good machine that lasts a decade) but bro i need to have an headache only to find an m1 out of the production with 16gb cause it’s like a mirage for humans, the only thing that made me not to buy a mac is the repairment system, i can’t pay 300 euros for a battery change, call me an hater, i still have an iphone i give a objective value at things, apple is really disappointing with his premium clients
Don’t worry guys yall hurting yourselfs for a 10% more power and 1000 dollars more ahaha yall machines are on a new level m3 max will be the best on the market even with m4 and m5, they will be prompted to ai and useless things for most of people (my ignorant opinion) so for marketing they are gold, value meh good for the market since refurbished will drop a bit
Love this update! That means I can wait for M4 so that I can buy the price-decreased M3 Pro :)
Legend 😂 thinking
Late, already bought my new m1 macbook
I Find iPad’s to be much more versatile than Mac’s…thus giving me more options as far as my use case goes!! I love my M1 12.9” pro but definently plan on trading in for the new 13” M4 iPad Pro this year!
Imagine a base M4 Macbook Pro with OLED and 16GB of RAM that would be heaven.
When will the Air and the Pro get touch screens? Seems a huge omission.
touching the screen is the last thing I’ve ever wanted to do.. ever. Fingerprints. Smudges. The trackpad is right there where your thumb can reach without even taking the hands off the keyboard. Why do you wana move your hand? More work. Why create smudges? More work. Senseless.
I only just got my first Macbook in March. Before that, my last 3 laptops have been touchscreen Windows computers. It's not a feature I find myself missing.
Hopefully never. Touchscreens on laptops are SO stupid. My laptop has a touch screen, and I literally never use it.
Damn if I keep waiting I’ll never get a MacBook
8gb of ram will be ridiculous this year, like it was last year, and the year before, and the year before, and you can go on, yes they are gonna be nuts…
Every other year would makes more sense
The release of the M4 Pro/MAX is worth waiting for if you want to buy M2-M3 Pro/MAX after they become cheaper
Whoo. 16GB of RAM. Welcome to late 2022.
I think i will go with M2 pro after M4 release!
Bulltshit titel. And dont buy a m4 bceause the m5 is releasing in 12 months. Oh and dont buy the m5 because the m6 is coming 12 months later. Buy if you need a new computer. Just dont buy if you are like 3 months away and your current computer is dying.
literally, just buy if you really need it.
Wait till the neuralink update
I see this right after I buy a MacBook m3 pro
OMG. I hate these wait don’t buy now since the new hotness is coming. If I listened to these forewarnings then I would never get anything, clutching onto whatever super old tech I have since I need to wait just a bit longer for the next best thing since I might regret it otherwise. Then when it does come out the cycle starts again. Sigh. Just get stuff as you need it. I’m not saying upgrade every year or so, that’s dumb too.
Im sill using a pentium 3 . And tbh its fine for me.
Apple gonna be sourcing 256GB nand chips from ebay sellers soon
I don't want more cores, I want a fckin high clock speed. i9 processors can hit 6.0 clock speed. Most apps can't take advantage of multi CPU cores.
I think they will skip this year. M2 pro and m3 pro are already incredible
I JUST GOT MY MACBOOK PRO M3 MAX YESTERDAY 😡
There are Russian letters on your MacBookPro keyboard.
thats why i stopped buying anything from that company
so if someone needs a computer now they should wait til much later this year because the M3s are garbage and the M4 will be so much faster they won't even be comparable for most tasks, is that what you're saying? 🙄
M3's are more focused on efficiency than the previous generations so they don't have as high of performance but they also last longer per charge. The M4's are likely to be faster than the M2's AND have more tensor cores which are designed for AI integration.
Naaah, wait for the M5. They will be better at the performance related tasks and better in the efficiency department too. Actually wait for the M6, that’s where the real upgrades will take place.
lol, Im running an M3 Max, no complaints whatsoever .....but what exactly makes them garbage in your opinion? just curios.
@@nicolasstrawberry4148 The "Higher end" M3's have more power cores and less efficiency cores but the lower end ones like the M3 and M3 Pro DO have more efficiency cores than previous generations.
@@Spladoinkal Where did you get this info from ? M3 is faster than M2...
Oled would be nice, but we all know apple’s “revolutionary upgrade” will be AI and stuff on the chip enabling it. - none of which I even want. I think I speak for all of us- ALL we want is increases base storage and ram- OR decreased storage upgrade costs. Even the average consumer can look at 256gb or 500g and be turned off when windows machines costing half as much have twice as much storage. It’s basic simple numbers. And it’s not even expensive for apple to do. I really think they’d break even, Or even gain more profit than the upgrade would cost them. Only getting a 2gb ram upgrade with M3 was laughable, especially considering there was no upgrade with M2. If they did 2gb every single year then that would be one thing- but if it’s 2gb every 2 years.. I mean come on. M4 pro should start with 24g ram/1TB ssd. I don’t even care about chip speed that’s already impressive. I’ll gladly take just a 5% chip boost if it means I get those other things for the same $2k starting price.
the first chip to update is always de air
M4 first in ipad pro :D
No excuse for 8gb of ram in 2024. Not buying there pos airs. On my windows machine I use up to anywhere from 16-28GB of ram when I'm using the machine. 8GB of ram is laughable.
Are you dumb enough to believe the base model is the only configuration available?
imagine spending all that money to buy an m3 macbook pro only for it to be completely obsolete in less than a year lmao
It would be obsolete If only m4 had high performance increase compared to m3
This is complete and utter nonsense
Apple probably already have an M8 🥱
display still not 4K? we are in the year 2024... guys, what the hell is wrong with you?
Only an idiot would want a 4K display on a laptop.
Just marketing. The M chip numbering is arbitrary and defined by Apple themselves, to my mind. The criteria to increment the number does not have foundation in technical specification bur rather marketing. They could have called the new chip in the iPad the M3 Ultra, for example. Calling the chip in the new iPad the M4 is to create the perception of leaping even further ahead and to persuade that the new product is more than just incremental improvements. I'd expect the benchmarks of the produce with the M4 will be a significant improvement on the previous, as they claim and the new functionalities such as the multi-screen filming and accessories like the Pencil Pro to be distinct improvements. But all of these could have still happened if the chip was just called M3 Ultra or something else.
