I'm going to be primarily discussing the 16-inch version of the new MacBook Pro here; if you're more interested in its little brother the M4 MacBook Pro 14-inch, just click that link for our coverage of the smaller laptop.

The base MacBook Pro now sports three USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 (one more than on the M3 version), an HDMI, an SD card slot, a high-impedance headphone jack, and a MagSafe charging port. It's available in space black and silver.

The new M4 MacBook Pro makes it easier to pick the model you want by making the entry-level option better by adding more memory and a valued port.
