Yep. The real deal. I have only had the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with the Apple M4 Pro chip, 24GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD in Space Black for a day, but I’ve run it through the paces, and of course, it’s fabulous! I didn’t opt for the Nano Texture screen, but I probably should have just for the glory. The laptop is amazing; it runs everything so smoothly and, frankly, is beautiful in the Space Black chassis. I haven’t used the Thunderbolt 5 port yet, but the SD card slot is a game changer.
The 14-inch is the perfect size to throw in a bag and travel to the cafe.
I used some of the Apple Intelligence features, and I must say, wow! It's an excellent time to own a Mac; so much is good now.
I love this device and recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful device with great portability.

I recently upgraded to the MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip, and it has been a game-changer for my daily workflow. The performance is incredibly smooth, even when running resource-intensive applications like video editing software and machine learning tools. The M4 Pro chip truly delivers on speed and efficiency.
What I Liked:
• Blazing Fast Performance: Apps load instantly, and multitasking is seamless.
• Battery Life: I can work all day without worrying about charging – it easily lasts over 12 hours.
• Display Quality: The Retina XDR display is stunning, with vibrant colors and exceptional brightness, making it perfect for creative tasks.
• Build Quality: As always, Apple excels in design and build. The laptop feels premium and robust.
What Could Be Improved:
• Price: While the performance justifies it for professionals, it might be steep for casual users.
• Port Options: It’s great to have Thunderbolt ports, but adding more variety, like USB-A, would have been helpful.
Overall, the MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip is a powerhouse, perfect for professionals who need top-notch performance and portability. Highly recommended for anyone in fields like video editing, programming, or design!

The MacBook Pro M4 Pro is a powerhouse for professionals, excelling in performance, battery life, and design. The M4 Pro chip delivers lightning-fast speeds, making it perfect for demanding tasks like 4K video editing or graphic design. The Liquid Retina XDR display offers stunning visuals, and the battery lasts all day. However, it’s expensive, and the limited port selection requires dongles for some peripherals. Overall, it’s ideal for professionals needing top-tier performance and reliability.

I’m loving my new MacBook Pro 14-inch! The Space Black color is super sleek and gives it such a premium vibe. But the real highlight? This thing is ridiculously fast. I’ve been editing videos and running a ton of apps at the same time, and it hasn’t slowed down once.
The screen is gorgeous—bright, and colorful, and just makes everything look amazing. Plus, the battery life is a lifesaver. I can easily go all day without needing to plug it in.
Yeah, it’s expensive, but honestly, it’s worth it. If you want a laptop that can handle whatever you throw at it, this is the one to get.

I’m super impressed with the MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M4 Pro chip! It’s crazy fast—whether I’m juggling multiple apps or working on heavier tasks, it never slows down. The 24GB memory and 1TB SSD give me all the space and speed I need. Plus, the new Space Black color looks so sleek and modern. The display is gorgeous, and the battery lasts way longer than I expected. Overall, it’s just an amazing laptop—I couldn’t be happier with it!

My Daily Driver Going Forward for Multiple Years

For my previous job as a software engineer, I had used the M1 Macbook Pro and I was impressed by the overall build quality and power efficiency. This new model I have bought for personal use is a huge step up from that. Despite having the ‘minimum’ RAM for the M4 Pro chip configuration, it is more than enough to handle my need. The 1TB SSD space also gives me peace of mind for using lots of data and assets for any software development I intend to do on this machine.
Regarding screen size, if you feel doubtful about screen size, go for the 16 inch model. The 14 inch model is perfect for me because I prefer a workflow not dependent on space (i.e. small cafe table or on the plane). However, if that is not a dealbreaker, the 16 inch model is better to comfortably open multiple windows of code with split screen. Personally, the 14 inch model without an external monitor is not suitable to have more than 1 window of code open at the same time.
Also, if this is your first Macbook with a notch, note that the Menu bar items will be hidden and practically are inaccessible when they are extended to the notch area. Having used a Macbook without a notch before, this was somewhat frustrating.
Despite this, the pros of this device are outstanding enough for me to keep this for multiple years as my daily driver. Unless you need to perform graphics intensive work that may require more RAM or SSD space, this is the best value laptop in the industry with this level of computing power for personal software development, alongside its industry leading build quality and power efficiency that allows a workflow away from the charger basically all day long.

I recently picked up an Open Box 14-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro chip, 24GB Memory, 1TB SSD, Space Black) from Best Buy, and I’m really happy with the whole experience! Ordering online and picking it up in-store was super smooth, and the laptop itself has been awesome—no issues or blemishes at all. My fiancée loves how much faster and more spacious it is compared to her old MacBook Pro, and wow does it hold a charge, she's probably charged it twice in the last week. We got Apple Case without any hassle about it being "Open-Box". It came in the original Apple box (just sealed with a bit of Best Buy tape), and there aren’t any blemishes we can see. Plus, we saved a few hundred dollars by going the Open Box route, which is a great bonus. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking to save some cash.

Buy this Editing Power house

This MacBook has been a gamechanger for me. I do a lot of video editing for my bands social media accounts and it has allowed me to render out these videos much quicker (and also while on the road) than when I edited on my pc desktop. It is also much more convenient and reliable that when I edited footage on davinci on my m2 iPad Pro.
my desktop has a 2080ti which was no slouch for editing and gaming, but now that Im using 10 bit 4k S log footage, I needed something that could handle the footage in the timeline without lagging.
the display is beautiful. it seems to be pretty accurate for color grading and also is super bright for editing HDR content
the other thing that has blown me away is the battery life. even though im doing some heavy duty editing, I don't need to be plugged in to get a full day of work out of the machine. this is great since I live my life on the road with my band. I haven't had to worry about not being able to complete a project before the battery dies.
Overall, I think that this is probably the nicest piece of tech that I have ever own. It is almost unbelievable the performance to price and the battery life. If you don't have an M series MacBook Pro, get one now

From Windows to Mac: A Seamless, Stunning Upgrade

After 15 years on Windows, I finally made the leap—and the MacBook Pro M4 24 GB didn’t just meet my expectations, it redefined them.
Switching to macOS felt like learning to drive a luxury car: a bit unfamiliar at first, but instantly smoother. Trackpad gestures are game-changing, and the Liquid Retina XDR display is bright, crisp, and easy on the eyes for long hours.
The first thing I noticed was the silence. The M4 chip is incredibly fast, yet cool and whisper-quiet.
With 24GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, I’ve run demanding applications like Final Cut Pro, even AI model training—all without a single hiccup. The results were stunning: fast, efficient, and smooth, even under pressure.
Build quality is top-tier. Yes, macOS takes some adjusting, but once you're in, there’s no going back.
The MacBook Pro M4 isn’t just a laptop—it’s a high-performance creative companion. I only wish I’d switched sooner.

Sleek, fast, everything i could need. It was time to replace my 9 year 27 inch 5K iMac and i couldn’t be happier with the Macbook Pro. Its fast, portable, and perfect for taking my productivity on the go. Even when it’s just another room of the house.

Excellent computer if you want to have the MacBook Pro M4 pro power. I have the 16” one too. The only difference is the screen size, resolution, less found but it what you sacrifice for portability. It is reliable and your shoulder will appreciate the less weight compared to the MBP 16” that is way bigger and heavier.

overall I am very pleased. I think this is now my 5th MacBook Pro and they just keep getting better. With the M4 Pro chip this machine is very fast and fluid between tasks and processes. I have used it for both video editing (Adobe Premiere) and CAD (Autodesk Fusion360) and it handles those graphics and memory intensive softwares with no issue. I'm especially pleased that the mag-safe power connection has been returned!

A Long Overdue Upgrade That Blew Me Away

Just upgraded to this Macbook after using the same laptop for 15 years — and wow, what a difference. This thing is fast. Everything runs so smoothly, whether I’m opening a bunch of tabs, editing photos, or just working on documents. What really impressed me, though, is the battery life. I can go almost an entire day without needing to charge it, which is a huge upgrade from constantly being plugged in. The screen looks amazing, it’s super responsive, and it just feels good to use. Honestly, if your laptop is as old as mine was, this update is 100% worth it — total game changer.

I absolutely love this computer! It has been an amazing asset with music and video recording! The battery life lasts a long time! I purchased the silcer model, and it is gorgeous!
Going from a Windows to a newly Apple Macbook user, I am very pleased with the product!

It’s been working great, it’s super fast, perfect upgrade from my M1. I like that the charger is now separate from the usb c ports and I like that it’s magnetic and displays the charge. I do miss the Touch Bar however, since it made it easy to fine tune volume and brightness and toggle through video. Maybe we can have that again in the future, but it’s no big deal since the F keys do the same. 24gb of memory + 1 tb of storage and I’ll be set for a good while. Shout out to Best Buy having discounts on Macs!
