The 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro is one of the most powerful laptops we've ever reviewed, offering the second-longest battery life of any laptop we've tested. If your budget can bear it, this laptop is hard to beat.

Apple has its work cut out for itself ... That’s $1,150 more than the base 16-inch M4 Pro model and a full $2,050 more than the base 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro. Even so, that puts the review model in the middle of the pack, price-wise.

With the M4, Apple finally has a base MacBook Pro that’s less of a parts-bin compromise and more of an actual Pro machine. It’s a laptop you can buy and not feel like you’re caught in between anything.
