Apple's latest MacBook Pro is a powerhouse of a laptop for professionals and prosumers. But if you're just looking for something to browse the web and stream Netflix, stick with the MacBook Air.

Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・Excellent performance ・Thunderbolt 5 is a boon for professionals ・12MP CenterStage FaceTime camera ・Nano-texture glass display option Cons ・Wi-Fi 7 would’ve been nice to future-proof it a little Our Verdict The M4 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro is a powerful workstation and Apple makes the package even better

The liquid retina XDR display of the MacBook Pro is incredibly sharp and natural in colour. The 14-inch model offers a 3024x1964 pixel resolution, while the 16-inch display has a 3456x2234 pixel resolution – both with a pixel density of 254 pixels per inch.

However, Apple dropped the M4 chip and obliterated Windows laptops in one fell swoop. On Geekbench 6, the MacBook Pro notched a sweet multi-core score of 15,199. This beats our most powerful non-gaming PC laptop, Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, which delivered a score of 14,548 on the same test.
