The M4 Revolution
The Apple M4 chip brings a 3nm architecture that pushes performance and efficiency to new heights. For the first time, Apple has included 16GB of unified memory in the base model, addressing years of user requests. This means you can run dozens of browser tabs, professional creative software, and multiple background apps without hitting the 'memory pressure' warning.
Design & Display
The design remains the flat, modern unibody introduced with the M2, which is still the best-looking ultrabook chassis in the market. The Liquid Retina display is exceptionally bright and color-accurate, making it perfect for photographers and designers. The MagSafe 3 charging port is a lifesaver, keeping your two Thunderbolt ports free for peripherals.

Finally, 16GB RAM as base! I can run Docker and my dev environment without any lag. The M4 is crazy fast and the battery life is just insane. Best laptop I've ever owned.
