• Entry-level M4 chip

• 16GB of RAM

• 512GB storage

• 24 hours of battery life

• Available in Space Black

This marks three features that may make the new M4 MacBook Pro attractive for an upgrade. Firstly, it starts at 16GB, which means Apple is no longer stingy with memory for its base configurations. Secondly, the MacBook Pro's claimed 24-hour battery life rating is quite impressive. (The M3 MacBook Pro was rated for 22 hours of battery life.)

Thirdly, Space Black, a popular colorway that was only featured in the M3 Pro and M3 Max models last year, is now available for the entry-level configurations.

M4 MacBook Pro specs

On the M4 model, RAM can go up to 32GB and storage can go up to 2TB. There are also more expensive variants that include the more powerful M4 Pro or M4 Max chips, which substantially increase the price.

The 14-inch M4 Pro model, for instance, starts at $1,999, and as far as I can tell, the absolute minimumyou can expect to pay for a 14-inch M4 Max model is $3,199.

The higher-end M4 chips can go all the way up to 128GB of RAM and 8TB of storage. There's also a 16-inch model with the same internal options, but of course, it's more expensive. The cheapest 16-inch model available starts at $2,499.

As far as ports go, the new MacBook Pros have plenty of options for users to choose from. There are no USB type-A ports on any of these devices, but the M4 model has three Thunderbolt 4 ports with support for external displays, an SD slot, a headphone jack, and an HDMI port.

The M4 Pro and M4 Max models upgrade those Thunderbolt 4 ports to Thunderbolt 5, but keep everything else the same.

In addition to Space Black, the new MacBooks are also available in Silver.
