Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased to replace my 11-year old MacBook Pro that could no longer be updated. This one is great! The most noticeable thing is the battery, WOW, so far it is lasting 2-3 days which I had not expected. I also upped to 1TB storage with this computer, so hoping that will help. It's very fast, does everything I need and I have zero complaints. I did purchase a screen protector and a case for it to avoid scratches.

Amazing laptop! Speed, power and excellent screen and battery life!

This MacBook is amazing. My review is very clouded by the fact my last purchase was in 2017 - MacBook Air. That lasted me all this time (Nov 2024). But because I had such an old system, and couldn’t update it past iOS 12.76, I probably think this is maybe more incredible than the average person. The charge it holds is maybe the best thing about it, honestly. I can go multiple days without charging it. I love the Touch ID, I didn’t know it’d have that and it’s super convenient for not just unlocking it, but also passwords and filling things in. I got it largely to use Lightroom, and it’s great for that as advertised. I also like the mirroring option with my phone. With all this said, I wish it was more affordable. The cost of these laptops are not accessible to the average person, and I had to get the credit card with a co-signer to be able to purchase it. In today’s world, it’s almost required to have technology. I wish they would make these things more affordable. I needed a new laptop and mine just couldn’t do the things I needed anymore, both personal and professional use. So objectively, it just made sense to upgrade to the best available option to secure another long term use out of my laptop. Apple, please make things more accessible to the average person with average income. Overall, it’s worth the hype in my opinion for what I need - but I will be paying for it for a very, very long time.

I bought this to replace my Gen 1 iPad 12.9” (15 yrs old but still worked). It was getting a little old and some of the apps were getting slower. This new Macbook Pro is great. A little bigger and heavier than my iPad but not by much. This gives me the ability to run Adobe Creative products like LR and PS as well as many other apps that wouldn’t work on my iPad. This is fast and great. I haven’t used a Mac since my 2012 iMac got way too slow to edit photos with so it’s a relearning curve for keyboard commands and managing windows after using a Windows machine for a while. It’s so quiet and fast, it’s amazing. The screen is incredible. So vibrant and clear. Very happy with this purchase other than they’re $200 off this week (sad face). Thats the way it goes. Highly recommend this Macbook Pro.

I have had it for over a week and a half & have used photoshop, Lightroom, and some heavy power softwares. I have not had a single problem other than maybe my Lightroom app itself syncing, but I don’t think that was the laptop itself. I am so happy I purchased this as an upgrade. I can get work done faster & on the go. Sleek design, screen looks great. If you are a photographer or videographer I recommend this laptop. I haven’t tried using adobe premiere or Final Cut Pro just yet, but I have a feeling it won’t be lagging or causing disruption. Battery life using photoshoot & lightroom has been good. I’m not sure if I’m just not optimizing it fully, but the battery using heavy powered softwares hasn’t been what I was expecting from other reviews. It’s still good though, but I was assuming it would last a full 48 hours. That’s probably only for web surfing & lower powered softwares/use.

Boy I learned quickly the difference between a MacBook Pro in 2024 from that of 2018!! I needed a new machine because though my former MacBook Pro still works fine, it wasn't able to keep up any more with the work I do on social media at 8 GB RAM and 250 GB SSD. It was a true pro while it lasted! This MacBook Pro M4 is a dream for me and in working with some of my apps for podcasting and Tube, uploading and downloading, among other things is a truly perfect upgrade for me. The screen and batter life are superb! And my hands move very well with little effort across the keyboard. If you like to get one, do it! It's a world of difference when you get one of these when compared to older MacBook Pros before the M chips came around. Note: I purchased the one with 24GB Memory and 1TB SSD. And the space black color is awesome! Get that one!

The MacBook Pro M4 is incredibly fast and powerful. It handles multitasking with ease, has a stunning display, and the battery life is impressive. Definitely worth it!

This is my third MacBook Pro. My first was in 2015. Then I upgraded to a 2019 model. Both of those were the basic entry-level models with 8 GB RAM and 256 SSD. Let me tell you, upgrading to 24 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD is like moving from a Volkswagen to a Ferrari. As usual, everything "just works" but it works so much smoother. I probably didn't need the M4 Pro chip but I wanted a model that is going to last me 7+ years rather than 3 - 5 you get out of the basic level MacBook Pros. The space black is really cool looking. I use this with two monitors in my work from home office and there are no problems there. Nothing I've thrown at it so far makes it break a sweat - it stays cool as a cucumber. The battery life is also incredible. It will last for an entire day in power saver mode. A big shout out to the Best Buy team in West Covina. I had originally purchased an open box version of the same model only to find out that you can't add Apple Care+ to an open box Mac. It's a whole long story involving serial numbers and previous Apple Care subscriptions. Anyway - suffice it to say - the manager price matched the price that the computer was on sale for over the Christmas holiday and set me up with Best Buy Total subscription which offset the cost of the Apple Care + (you should ALWAYS get the Apple Care+). I don't know how she worked her magic but I walked out of the store with a BRAND NEW MacBook Plus for the same price as I was going to pay for the open box one.

I upgraded from a 2019 MacBook Pro. Mine was still chugging along just fine but the idea of tariffs made me nervous so I just gave in and ordered this one. I did order the open-box excellent one and it arrived in perfect condition. Even though I thought my computer was fine, I’m so glad I upgraded to this MacBook Pro. It is so fast. It does not have the overheating and fan issues my old computer had. And the battery life blows my mind. Even though my old computer was a 15.4” and this is 14”, the size difference does not bother me as much as I expected it to. I do also have external monitors if I feel like I need more space. And even when connected to the external monitor, there are no issues with overheating. The weight feels not significantly different than my older larger MBP? But this new one feels more solidly built. And I’m sure the battery accounts for some of the weight. Overall I’m extremely happy with my purchase. Huge upgrade all around for me. And I’m glad I got to save a few dollars with the open-box sale. Same great computer with a little better price.

Has been a great addition to my home office. This computer is more than enough to handle my workload. Like most apple products, the computer is well made and aesthetically pleasing.

Incredibly fast, perfect size, beauriful color. I am a music producer and this machine is the fastest ive ever had!!! Highly recommend

Apple technology and reputation, computer science and digital engineering. Very reliable. Excellent battery life, sound quality. Ease of use. Excellent screen quality.

I recently purchased the MacBook Pro 14-inch and couldn’t be more impressed. The machine itself is a powerhouse—blazing fast, beautifully designed, and incredibly reliable. Whether I’m working on intensive creative projects or just everyday tasks, the performance and clarity of the Retina display make a noticeable difference. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the exceptional support from Best Buy. Not only did they make the purchase process seamless, but they also included AppleCare, which gave me peace of mind from day one. A special shout-out to the Geek Squad team—they were friendly, patient, and highly knowledgeable. They helped me migrate all my data from my old laptop, saving me hours of setup time and potential headaches. Everything transferred perfectly, and they took the time to answer my questions and walk me through the new system features. This combination of an incredible product and first-class customer support made this one of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made. Highly recommend both the MacBook Pro 14” and the Best Buy experience!

Incredibly fast and relatively light. Does everything I’ve asked of it with zero lag. Fantastic package. Won’t need another upgrade for years and years!

The MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 Pro chip, 24GB of memory, and 1TB SSD in Space Black is quintessential Apple—stunning hardware that’s as functional as it is gorgeous. This machine is a testament to Apple’s knack for crafting devices that feel like an extension of yourself. The Space Black finish is sleek and sophisticated, turning heads while subtly elevating the premium vibe. Performance-wise, it’s a beast, effortlessly handling everything I throw at it, from heavy multitasking to creative workloads. The seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem is, as expected, flawless—syncing with my iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch feels like magic. The keyboard is a dream to type on, with just the right amount of tactile feedback, and the display is razor-sharp, making everything from spreadsheets to 4K video editing a visual treat. Battery life? Exceptional. I’ve gone full workdays without reaching for the charger, which is a game-changer for portability. Built for Apple Intelligence, this MacBook Pro feels future-proof, ready to take on whatever innovations come next. If you’re after a laptop that combines beauty, power, and that signature Apple polish, this is it. Worth every penny.

Use as my primary machine (1TB SSD) for complex litigation practice in Fed/State Court involving heavy document production, exhibit organization for MSJ/briefing or BWC rendering. Had heavy calendar in Dec 2024 when I upgraded. This model operates case management software + Westlaw w 20+ tabs open/ dense PDF Adobe depo abstracts for pleadings or dispositive motions. If you run a cloud based litigation practice, this is a great purchase at the price point.

Really fast. Typical Apple high quality from the design to the build to the packaging. Another excellent Apple product.

Every once in awhile, Apple puts out epic products. Solid performers, big tech changes and advances, and this M4 Pro Processor based MacBook pro is such. This by far is the best performant, versatile, incredibly stable/solid MacBook Pro you can buy today. Mark my words, this laptop will be up there with the legends like the Pismo macbook pro, or the 2012-15 series of Macbook pros. There is nothing this laptop can't do.

Upgrading from my M1 Pro Macbook was an easy decision for more RAM, slightly better performance, and slighty better battery life.

Meet my expectations this MacBook Pro is powerful no need for a desktop this MacBook has it all
