and now you’re just $50 away from the upgraded MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro processor, faster storage, more cores, 24GB of RAM, and Thunderbolt 5 ports — or $200 away if you want the nano-texture screen upgrade again. And then you’re squarely in Apple ...

Overall, the M4 Pro 16-inch MacBook Pro is a powerful workstation and Apple makes the package even better with Thunderbolt 5, the 12MP Center Stage camera, and the Nano-texture glass display option. It’s a loaded laptop for the most demanding users.

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.
