Excellent powerful machine or rather say beast.. Updated to this base M4 Max 16” 48gb 1tb on Black Friday for my old Intel i9 based 2018 MacBook Pro 15”... What an update, mind blowing! The fans use to spin up a lot with work load’s especially on my old intel based MacBook Pro but this M4 Max with like 50 chrome tabs and another 50 safari tabs open + heavy applications like Docker desktop, IntelliJ, GitHub Desktop (I’m a programmer/software developer) & many other applications (like mail app, music app, heavy user of Apple Notes App and many more apps) running barely spins the fans and Memory Pressure is bare minimum.. Just superb & amazing to see and work/code on it! For programmers this is a fantastic machine or rather say beast! Wouldn’t need another Mac for like easy 5+ years…. Worth every penny! Battery also is excellent, will easily last 1.5 to 2 full days once 100% charged for all your daily activities & even heavy coding…Also watching movies on this 120Hz pro motion display is phenomenal! If you are a Best Buy member, will get excellent discounts price for members & early Black Friday Deals.. Wait for the right time & Just go for it!

I recently purchased the MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip from Best Buy, and the entire process was seamless. I was thrilled to get the laptop on the same day, and it has been an absolute game-changer for my workflow over the past few weeks. As a software developer working on machine learning (ML) projects, I needed a machine that could handle demanding tasks effortlessly. This MacBook Pro exceeded my expectations. Running open-source ML models like Llama and others locally has been a breeze, thanks to its outstanding performance. The M4 Max chip delivers unparalleled speed and efficiency, making multitasking feel incredibly smooth. The battery life is another highlight—it lasts for hours, even under heavy workloads. This has been a lifesaver during my long coding sessions and when I’m on the go. Additionally, the display is phenomenal. The brightness remains impressive even in outdoor settings, ensuring a crystal-clear viewing experience regardless of the environment. I’m still exploring all the possibilities this powerhouse has to offer, but one thing is clear: the MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip is a beast of a machine, perfect for anyone tackling resource-intensive tasks. Whether you’re into software development, ML, or any other heavy work, this laptop is worth every penny.
