I abandoned Apple years ago, but the M1 chip convinced me to give it another chance. The M4 is even better. I upgraded from the 16-inch M1 to the M4, and while it’s more portable, the 16-inch has a better screen real estate and sound.
As expected from an M SOC Mac, it’s great. The build quality is excellent, with every detail nicely crafted. The screen, though not OLED, is great and better than most laptops.
Performance is excellent, with great memory management. I can run many applications and heavy software development tools without high memory pressure. It does all this while on battery, which is incredible. You won’t get this with heavy video editing, but it’s still great performance and more battery life than any other notebook.
The keyboard is comfortable to type with good key travel, and the touchpad is one of the few in the industry that’s usable.
However, it’s an expensive laptop, and there’s no competition that offers the same at a lower price.

Absolutely love it. Been using MACs and Macbooks for years and this one is the best yet. The build quality, screen, battery life and keyboard are impeccable and it chews through all the stuff I want to do - Final Cut, Lightroom, Affinity Suite, Logic Pro and Xcode - without breaking a sweat.
The Most Amazing Lap Top Computer Ever
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2025
Why only four stars then you may say? I am knocking a star off because, let's face it, the cost is completely outrageous. I got the 14" version with M4 with the Pro chip, 24G of RAM and a 512G hard disk. Apple charge £1749 for that in the UK which is utterly insane. Worse still, I'd have loved the 1TB version but that is a colossal £380 more. Seriously Apple, £380 for an extra 512TB????!!!!!!! I get it that it's a captive audience if you are buying a Macbook anyway but that price is completely mental.
So a great computer. But boy do you pay through the nose for it.
