Hi friends, how are you? I am Nabeel. Today we are going to unbox another product of M4 chipset. First, we have unboxed the Mac Mini M4 and then reviewed it. Today we are going to review the MacBook Pro M4. This is my MacBook Pro M4 but what is the variant? You won't understand by looking at its box.
I will tell you why you won't understand. The box in front is just like the normal MacBook Pro M4. You can see the MacBook in this space black color. But if I turn it backwards, you can see that it is completely plain back. You can see M4 chipset, RAM, storage, everything is written here. Nothing is written here. Why is that? Why is nothing written here? Because something new is customized. You will understand what is this customization in the next video. You can see the price at the bottom of this box.
It is Rs. 2,04,900. If you buy a regular MacBook Pro from Apple website or Apple authorized reseller and you don't customize it, then the back of the box says everything properly. You can see the two pull tabs at the back. Let's pull it and open the MacBook from this box.
Now let's open the box of our MacBook. Let's lift it. It is a very beautiful experience to open any Apple product and this experience is nothing different. Here our MacBook is looking heavy. Let's put it aside and see what is inside. Inside this you get a black colored braided Type-C cable. Type-C cable is at one end and MagSafe cable is at the other end. This is for charging.
USB Type-C adapter is available. This is a 70 watt adapter. Guys, I have got a very amazing thing here. It is very surprising for me. Let me tell you what is that. I have opened the document envelope.
You can see a quick start guide of MacBook Pro here. This is it. Let's see what is there. There are some other papers. I have got a cloth of Apple for cleaning my MacBook. You can see Apple logo is also made here. This is very surprising. I have unboxed another MacBook Pro.
It was not inside. It was M4. But it is inside. Let's go. We are lucky. But if you are looking for Apple sticker, you won't get that. Because Apple has stopped giving it. Let's take another satisfying experience. Let's take the MacBook out of the paper. Let's lift this paper from here. Let's open it.
This is our MacBook Pro. First of all, look at the colour. It is a very beautiful colour. It is space black. Apple logo is also in black chrome. It is completely made of aluminium. If you see from the back side, you will find these four rubber pads. They hold it firmly on the table.
It is written MacBook Pro inside the metal. MacBook Pro M4 is a very beautifully designed and ergonomically designed device. You can see that it is not very thick.
It is not very wide. It is not very high. It weighs only 1.55 kg. It is well balanced. You won't feel much weight.
I said it as a joke that it is heavy. It is nothing like that. It is just 1.5 kg MacBook. It is 1.5 kg device. It has fantastic specifications. You get the battle app. We will discuss it later. Let's talk about three things. Pricing, specifications and benchmarks.
We will talk about them one by one. Let's understand the variant that I have taken and what is its pricing. Let me show you on my screen. This is Apple India's website. You get three 14 inches MacBook Pro in M4 chipset. M4 chipset, not M4 Pro.
You get 10 core CPU and 10 core GPU in M4 chipset. In all three variants. The two variants of the base get 16GB RAM. In the base variant, you get 512GB SSD. On top of that, you get 1TB SSD. The top model is M4 chipset.
I won't say M4 Pro again. You get 24GB RAM. Our MacBook has a price of 189,900 plus 15,000.
You will understand why 15,000. The variant that I have chosen is with M4 chipset. 10 core CPU, 10 core GPU, 16GB RAM.
It is the same in the base variant. But the SSD is 1TB. I choose this variant. If you choose 169,900, then there is no difference except for the size of the SSD. The price is 189,900. You will understand why it is 2,500,000.
We choose the standard Nano texture display. It is 2,500,000. There are customization options.
You can get 24GB RAM, 32GB RAM. You can get 2DP SSD. You can get 96W adapter. You can get it.
I have 140W adapters already. You don't need it. I didn't get it. If you get this chance, then you can get it. Because giving 1700 extra is completely worth it.
You can upgrade the rest of the SSD. You can get the RAM according to your requirements. The more RAM you get, the more benefit you will get in the log run. The video editing machine we have is M3 Max with 96GB of RAM. There is no more load on it.
But if there was, then I would have taken a different version. This was the specification and variant that I have chosen. You understood. Instead of 512GB, I chose 1TB. Now it has increased to 20,000. And 15,000 for the Nano texture display.
Let's check what are the I/O ports in this MacBook. Here you get a MagSafe port for charging. Only for charging. It won't do anything else. After this, you get 2 USB-C ports.
It supports Thunderbolt 4. If you buy MacBook Pro M4 Pro, then you get Thunderbolt 5 in it. And a headphone jack. On the opposite side, on the right hand side, you get an HDMI out. So here any monitor, even the old one, you can connect it to the projector. Then again you get a Thunderbolt 4 port.
USB-C port. And here you get an SD card slot. This inbuilt SD card slot is very fast. And if you transfer any video from your camera to it, it becomes very instant. It is much better than the external SD card readers.
I have started to boot the MacBook first in front of you. And the experience of the first boot is also very good. So here, I pick it up with one hand. It won't move from its place. And here we remove the paper.
And it has automatically booted. Here you don't need to press the power button to turn it on. It turns on automatically the first time. Now the hello screen has come. Let me tell you how to set it up. I will tell you the basic setup now.
So that those who are new to Macs, they understand. The hello screen will come in which it will say hello in different languages. And after that you tap on continue. After that you have to choose your language. I choose English.
Let's do next here. Then here choose your region. I choose India. After that you just have to continue. I have done not now. I connect it with my office wifi.
Then here a software update has come. You can do it or you can update later. I update it later. Continue the data privacy. If you want to transfer the whole backup from any other Mac, then from a Mac, time machine or start up disk.
If you are coming from any Windows PC, then do it from Windows PC. For now we do it not now. You have to sign in from your Apple ID. If you don't have Apple ID, then create a new Apple account. After signing in from Apple ID, you will be asked to create a computer account.
So here you have to put your name, account name and whatever password you want. Allow my Apple account to reset this password. So that you can reset it if you forget the password. After that your iCloud account will also set up. So let it do what it is doing.
After that it is asking to continue your new Mac. Then touch ID will be asked to set up. So I will do it later. Apple doesn't work in India, so this is also set up later.
And here the welcome to Mac screen has come. Then tap on continue. And here your Mac OS is ready to use.
Now I will tell you the score of Geekbench. After that we will do the speed test of SSD and final cut of Pro. So the score of Geekbench is shown here.
I have shown the score of CPU and GPU. Let me tell you the score of CPU. This is the single core of 3753 and the multi core score is 151001.
And if we see the score of GPU, then it is 38167. And this is a very good score for Macbook with M4 chipset. Now we will use the blackmagic speed test. And now we will check the speed of SSD, read and write. This is 1TB SSD, let's start the speed test in our Macbook Pro. Let it run once or twice.
Then I will tell you the speed of SSD, read and write. So the read speed is around 2900. And the write speed is around 3300 Mbps. So this Macbook Pro is giving a good speed. In the earlier M1 Pro and M1 Mac, the speed was more.
But I think now all the Macbooks that are coming, you can see the speed in them. Which is more than enough. So your work will be done very well in this also. Now let's open Final Cut Pro.
If you are a video editor and thinking of buying this machine, in which you are getting 16GB RAM, then should you buy the Macbook Pro version for Final Cut Pro? Or you should not buy it? I have a project that is around 23 minutes long. This is the full comparison of S24 Ultra vs iPhone 16 Pro Max. So let's check how it works. I have kept the background render off. So that we can see the true speed of our rendering.
And the view here is better quality. This is a 4K video completely in which there is a video of phones. And in which I am using dual cameras of Sony.
There are two cameras. So it is multi-cam, multi-layer footage. So all this is recorded at 4K 30fps. Some 4K 60fps footage is also recorded here. First of all, look at the scrubbing. It is very smooth.
I am not able to see any lags. If you use it in the long term, then I can explain it better. And you will also understand. But for now, I will show you how it works on this project. Now let's play the multi-cam, multi-layer footage here.
Let's see how smooth the playback is. You can see this thing right here. There is no lag or frame drop here. If there is a lag or frame drop here, then it becomes very difficult to edit the video. So here we have a phone with a stopwatch open.
This 23.35 minutes video was taken by Mac mini M4 to render for around 12 to 13 minutes. Around 12.5 minutes. Let's see how much time it takes in this in our MacBook Pro M4. Does it take less or more time? Let's go to the setting.
Let's do the source file H.264. So it is a project of 11 GB. Let's do the next. I select the folder here. So, I will select the folder in the Documents. and save it.
And here rendering has started. I will start the stopwatch here. I will bring the background task in the middle. I haven't turned on any background rendering here. 50% rendering is done.
And it took around 6 minutes and 38 seconds. So it's 6.5 minutes. That same 12.5 minutes full rendering will do. I think. Same Mac Mini's performance video rendering.
I am feeling the same performance here. Let's see how long full render takes. So here it's 94%.
As soon as it's 95% rendering will complete. From my past experience I say here it's 95%. End rendering. Stop. 12 minutes 14 seconds.
So this much time was taken for Mac Mini M4. And I got to see the same performance in Mac Mini M4. So Mac Mini M4 and its chipset are same. And the task I gave was also same.
So same rendering speed which we got to see. So you can take Mac Mini M4. It's your choice. It's a PC. And with it you have to connect a monitor, keyboard, trackpad. But with it you don't have to do all that. If you want the photo ability then take this.
If you want the same performance but at a lower price point then Mac Mini M4 is also good and will give you the same performance. This display is guys. It's 14.2 inches. And this is Apple's liquid retina XDR display. It's a 3024 x 1964 pixels display. The XDR brightness in this is 1000 nits. But if you
view the HDR content then you can see here. 1600 nits supports with P3 white color. So this is a display. You won't have any problem in outdoor.
And if you keep the standard HDR then also it gives 1000 nits brightness. In this display also you get true tone technology. So according to ambient lighting this display adjusts its color temperature.
In this you get ProMotion technology for adaptive refresh rate and 120 hertz refresh rate support. And it will be adaptive. Battery consumption is also very good. They have optimized it. Which will not consume excessive battery due to the display. You can take a MacBook with nano texture display or a picture quality. You will get top notch picture quality. If you are editing
movies, watching videos or anything else. You will get superb video quality. But here the nano texture display, the matte finish on top of it, due to this the glare gets finished. How much glare is there? If I rotate it here, then the studio light is directly on it. But there is no glare at all. Now in this same condition, in this same situation, if I bring my iPhone here, then you will understand how much glare is there at the exact same angle. The studio light has eliminated it. So you will use it
in the sun or in studio condition. Even in extreme lighting conditions, if you use it, then you will not face any problem. Here, there is no studio light at all. I
go out from here. See, there is no studio light here. But the light on this reflects so much. So this is the wonder
of nano texture display. And I am really a fan of it. And if you pay 15000 extra for it, then it is completely worth it. Keyboard is the same that you get in all Macbooks.
So there is no difference. The same quality, the same reliability you will get to see here. It is very easy to use. And the keys are well spread out. You will not face any problem in this. Trackpad is also same as the one that was in the previous Macbooks. So it is a force
touch trackpad. It is a big sized trackpad. It is very easy to use. And Mac OS is a gesture based OS. So you can use it very well here. And this trackpad, while it is there, you can use any external mouse, external trackpad, external magic mouse, you don't have to use anything. This is what we use in our office. It is very easy.
It is very smooth. And in this you will get to see the precision control. You can easily scrub, easily zoom in, zoom out.
All these things can be done with this. So I am a big fan of it. And we use the whole Mac OS on this. It is the best experience.
Touch ID is also same as the one that they have given here. So here touch ID is super fast, super quick and super secure. There is no difference. Speakers are fantastic in this. It has 6 high fidelity speakers. It is a very amazing audio experience.
You will get to see it. I will play you a sample. And you can see how much decibel output it gets. [Music] The output is up to 89 decibels here. Which is as loud as the iPhone. But here, because there are 6 speakers, it is a completely next level surround sound. And you get a very good audio experience.
You will not need any external speakers even if you watch a movie. Talking about wireless technology, here you get WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. So you can easily connect it to all your devices and use it well. There is no issue in this. There is a big improvement in the Macbook Pro M4 webcam. Now you are getting to see a 12 megapixel camera here. And it can record
1080p video. Let us check the quality. You can see it from here. I have not used any external camera. However, you must know that the iPhone camera can also work as a Macbook camera.
You just have to take it close and there you can stream from your iPhone camera. But you will get this quality. And you get to see a 3 mic array here. So studio quality mics are also in it. So that your FaceTime calls and meetings can be done very well.
Another feature of this camera is that it is a center stage camera. So if you go anywhere in its view, it will focus on you. If you bring more people then the camera will be wide and narrow. Depending on how many people are in the frame.
And you get it in the desk view. So if you are working and you want to show something through which you are doing video conferencing or FaceTime calls, you can turn on the desk view and show that as well. It will look like you are taking a top down shot from an external camera. So all these features and the camera enhance your productivity a lot.
And you can give a very good impression to the other person because of these features. Macbook Pro M4. This is the M4 chipset. It is made for Apple Intelligence. So what are the features of Apple Intelligence? We will check everything. First of all, you get a Type 2 series here. And this is a new series.
And it is more intelligent than the old series. Now let's check how Apple Intelligence works in notes. So here you will get this symbol of Apple Intelligence. Which is for writing tools. Here you can do
proofreading and rewrite. This whole thing I have written here, it will rewrite. If I type on proofreading, then whatever mistake I have done all the mistakes, all the changes, it will tell me that there are 3 changes. If you want, you can do it here. All the changes will be applied. If you don't want, you can revert. Then here it is written in a friendly,
professional, concise way. So it will write that too. If you want to summarize these points, it will do that too. If you want to take out key points, it will do that too. It will make a list and table. Let's make a table and see. So here you see how quickly and how nicely it made a table for us. Although there was nothing to make a table in it. Still, according to the display, it is written in the display table. According to the setup,
it is written in the setup. So here if there are more than one device, whose comparison I had written here, then it will divide it in the proper table or arrange it properly in the table and tell me. There is also Apple Intelligence in Mail and Notification where it will summarize it. So I have already told you that there is nothing to go too deep in it. But let's check the Photos app. How does Apple Intelligence work in this? So here in the Photos application, what is the thing about Apple Intelligence? I will tell you everything. Here it
will be enlarged. And here, first of all, see this photo. You have to enhance the colors in it. So here it will do it intelligently. Here you see the color has changed. If I want to revert it, it will be reverted. If I want to change it again, it will be changed. It is very subtle.
As much as needed, see now the brightness on the face has come. If I turn it off, see this type of dark image. I keep it on and here it will apply bright image and vibrant colors. Now here if I have to edit it by tapping on edit, then because it has been shot from 16 Pro Max, all its data has come here. So here I can apply these new color styles, the photographic styles in it.
They will all work here. For now, I keep it on standard. Here there is also an option of clean up. So let's tap on clean up.
Here what is in clean up, I will tell you. Whatever you have to remove, there are people in the background. It will be automatically removed. Objects will automatically be removed. This leaf is made on the T-shirt. It is written on it. If I want, I can clean it here. See
the leaf is the same. What was written is gone. If I have to remove the leaf, then in this way I will select the leaf and here I will select it properly and clean it up. So here it is clean. But something else has come. So here again I will do it in this way and it will clean it properly.
But still it is left, so again I will do it from here. And again it will clean it up here. So in this way I have come in a plain black T-shirt. If there is a person
with you whose face you have to blur, then you can do it like this on his face. And his face will be blurred. And you can hide his photo and send it. For now I will reset it. Image point, image playground, all those things are in the upcoming updates.
For now they are in beta. But here phone mirroring has come. So we can mirror the iPhone. We have to open it. My iPhone is in my pocket. I will keep it here
on the table so that you can understand it better. Look, here my iPhone is in closed condition. Here I will put my fingerprint and my iPhone 16 Pro Max is connected to my Mac. Now here I can access my WhatsApp. I can talk on it. I can use Amazon, Flipkart, Instagram, YouTube whatever I want. Absolutely. Just like
I am using my iPhone, I will feel it. I have to edit the video. Video will also be edited. If I have an editor, everything will be done. I have to use
calculator. Look, iPhone has the entire calculator here. I can use that. If I want to drag and drop any photos on my desktop or anywhere in my Mac, I will pull it from here.
Look, this photo has come here. I can access it. If I want to drag and drop any photos from my desktop or any folder, Mac, I will drag and drop it here. I will drag and drop it here. And here it has come on my iPhone. I can view it. So this data transfer, file transfer has become very easy. By the way, I have made a dedicated video
on iPhone mirroring. You can check it in that. How to connect it, what to do. There is no need to do anything. Everything is done automatically. Still you will see there.
Now let's talk about its battery life. So you get 14 hours of battery life for web browsing. And if you watch videos, stream online videos, you get 24 hours of battery life. And if you edit videos, you can easily take out many hours.
You will edit the entire project and render it. Then also the battery will be saved. But it also depends on how long the project is. It's not like you have a 5 hours project and you want to charge it. It won't be like that. But like our projects of 20 minutes to 30 minutes, after editing the whole project, after rendering, the battery will be saved. So the battery life of
MacBooks is fantastic. It also has fast charging. 70 watt charger or 96 watt charger will also give you fast charging. Now let's talk about the verdict. So here, the MacBook I have taken this base variant. I have taken only 1TB SSD in this.
I have taken 1TB instead of 512GB SSD. If the storage is more internal, it is beneficial. You can keep more applications and data in this. If you have SSD, then you can connect it. Thunderbolt 4 ports are the base variants in this.
So you can take advantage of full speed in it. As far as the Nano texture display is concerned, I found it to be very beneficial. I will show you again here. See, so many studio lights are coming on this display. But you won't see any glare.
In fact, you won't see the lights clearly. And this makes a big difference. That's why I wanted to tell you this. That's why I took Nano texture display. So that I can tell you how my experience is.
And it is a fantastic experience. So if you can spend 15,000 extra for this, then do it. The rest of the performance is excellent. The battery life is excellent. If you want to take it for video editing or for any work, this machine is more than capable. But if you do high-end video editing, as I told you, if you do more than that, then go for more RAM, more storage.
And if possible, go for M4 Pro chipset. I will try to review that too. If you want to buy this MacBook, there is a link in the description.
You can purchase from there. Click on View Products and you will get the buying option here. You can also buy from that. How did you like the new MacBook Pro M4 chipset? Do tell me in the comments. I hope you liked the video.
