MacBook Pro M4 – Buying guide
Compare M4 Max configurations
For the offered M4 Max MacBooks, check the GPU version, memory and SSD. The M4 Max name alone does not describe a complete configuration.
Applications before model names
Base performance needs on your projects. Photo, video, music and development applications use CPU, GPU and memory differently; a bigger model name alone does not decide usefulness.
Choosing memory
Plan memory around your simultaneous applications and projects. Choose the offered configuration carefully; later upgrades must not be assumed for every model.
SSD and your files
Allow space for applications, photos, videos and local projects. Compare actual SSD capacity; external storage can hold archives but does not replace a backup.
