Apple's refreshed M4 24-inch iMac sports a fast chip, but that isn't the only reason to upgrade. Here's how the hot new model compares to the year-old M3 iMac that it replaces.

Apple's new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are impressively fast in terms of CPU performance, topping the M2 Ultra, but what about graphics

Compared to the M3 chip, the M4 chip has an extra 3 billion transistors and more memory bandwidth, great for faster processing speeds. For most devices, it also has a higher max memory capacity than the M3 chip. The only exception here is the iPad Pro, which has a max memory capacity of 16GB due to its own limitations.

Months after a debut on the iPad Pro, Apple has finally moved the M4 to the MacBook Pro. Here's what's different in the base 14-inch MacBook Pro between the M3 and M4 versions.

Apple's latest MacBook Pro sports more ports and RAM for the same starting price. While the base model is short on RAM and ports, Apple's M3 MacBook is still a portable powerhouse.

The Apple M4 chip is the most significant upgrade coming to the MacBook Pro line. As with the Apple M3 chip, the new processor comes in three flavors: the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max. Apple says all the M4 processors will deliver stronger performance and better energy efficiency than their respective predecessors.

The M4 Max still looks like a good upgrade compared with the M2 Max, with up to four additional high-performance CPU cores, a higher maximum RAM capacity, and two additional GPU cores. But again, it looks like the increased memory bandwidth could drive most of the GPU performance increases.

When it comes to choosing between the M4 Pro and M3 Pro MacBook Pro models, it's essential to have a clear understanding of their features and

You can get Apple's M4 chip in both sizes of the new-for-2024 MacBook Pro. What's the difference between the two versions of the flagship Mac laptop? We break it down.
