The new M4 MacBook Pro makes it easier to pick the model you want by making the entry-level option better by adding more memory and a valued port.

Right now, the base MacBook Pro 14 M3 starts at $1,399 via Best Buy, though it's often discounted even lower. For this price, you'll get an M3 chip (consisting of an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine), 8GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with 3024 x 1964-pixel resolution.

The latest MacBook Pros get an upgrade to the Apple M4 family of processors. Unless you are a real power user, though, using raw performance as a reason to upgrade may be faulty if you already own a Mac with an Apple M-series processor. They were introduced in 2020.

I recently mused about how the Mac lineup has been the most compelling for a while, and one of the reasons is that Apple introduced worthwhile features besides the chip upgrade to the M4. For the M4 MacBook Pro,

As I wrote in my review, my MacBook Pro M4 is a performance beast that I use hours a day. And it has a benefit I didn’t even realize. In an X post display analyst Ross Young says Apple used a quantum dot film instead of a red KSF phosphor film in the laptop.
