Joe Osborne from PCMag praises the 16-inch MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) as a powerful, content-creation powerhouse that continues Apple’s dominance in high-end mobile workstations. He highlights the impressive M4 Pro chip performance, which outpaces many AMD and Intel competitors, and lauds the new optional nano-texture display for significantly reducing glare—though he criticizes its $150 premium, arguing it should be standard. The inclusion of Center Stage webcam tech is noted as a useful but less exciting upgrade. Battery life impresses with nearly 26 hours in testing, maintaining Apple’s reputation for all-day use. Osborne points out the laptop’s hefty price and weight, emphasizing it as a desktop replacement rather than a portable machine. He also notes the limited design changes and cooling fan noise under heavy load. While the M4 Pro excels in CPU tasks, its GPU lags behind Nvidia’s offerings in 3D workloads. Overall, the review conveys measured enthusiasm, recommending the MacBook Pro primarily for specialized professional users who value power and premium features.
Andreas Osthoff from Notebookcheck highlights the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch with the M4 Max as a powerhouse in mobile processing, boasting top-tier single-core and multi-core CPU performance that outpaces most competitors. The review praises its stable performance even in battery mode, excellent mini LED display, sound system, and long battery life. However, Osthoff points out that the MacBook Pro’s cooling system limits the M4 Max’s full potential, especially under combined CPU/GPU load, causing throttling and preventing the chip from reaching peak power consumption. The GPU performance is solid and competitive with high-end Nvidia laptop GPUs, though gaming on macOS remains limited by software availability. The review also notes the high price and lack of upgrade options as drawbacks. Overall, the MacBook Pro 16 M4 Max is described as one of the best multimedia laptops available, combining cutting-edge performance with premium build quality, but with some thermal and cost compromises.
