Steady improvement has been the name of the game with Apple silicon, but with M4 Max, Apple is showing a notable jump in performance.
Apple has steadily been improving the performance of its M-series chip generation over generation and if you’re just comparing results versus the previous iteration, “steadily” would be the key word. However, with M4 Max, Apple is showing a notable jump in performance, especially for video editors.
All models support fast charging with either the 96W USB-C Power Adapter with the 14-inch models or the 140W USB-C Power Adapter with the 16-inch model, you can charge the MacBook Pro up to 50% in 30 minutes. While the MacBook Pro 16-inch version will charge with the 96W adapter, the 140W adapter is recommended.
The nano-texture treatment on this year’s MacBook Pro makes an enormous difference. I was struggling to even see what was on the screen of a laptop without it, even with it set to maximum brightness. In contrast, I was able to see everything on the nano-texture display without problems. If you like to work outside or you find yourself near bright light sources this is a worthwhile upgrade.
For Lightroom Classic testing, we import 110 61-megapixel Sony Alpha 7R IV and 150 100-megapixel Phase One XF RAW files, generate 1:1 previews, apply a custom-made preset with heavy global edits, and then export those same files as 100% JPEGs and 16-bit TIFFs. We track all of these tasks by time which is then an average of three runs.
The M4 Max performs pretty much how we expected: it’s faster than the M3 Max, M4 Pro, and M1 Ultra, but slower than both a high-end PC and. It’s not much slower than those two desktop machines, however. It’s an excellent showing and is the fastest laptop we’ve ever tested. If you have last year’s M3 Max, you probably won’t feel a major difference but if you’re rocking an original M1 Max, it’s about twice as fast.
