Apple had transitioned most of its Macs to 8GB of RAM by 2016. But now, after eight years, that quantity feels increasingly insufficient. Reviewers have criticized the entry-level RAM as limited since at least 2022. Local AI features like Apple Intelligence, which need constant RAM to work, have only accentuated the need to change things.

Last year, Apple’s VP of Worldwide Product Marketing Bob Borchers claimed that “8GB [of RAM] on an M3 MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems” because its machines make more efficient use of memory through advanced memory compression and a unified memory architecture.

Apple just made 16GB the standard minimum RAM for its M4 Macs and the MacBook Air, so the new M4 MacBook Air will be unbeatable.

The Mac mini is finally back with two M4 chip options, 16GB of unified memory in its starting configuration, and a refreshed design for the same price as before.

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.

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.

This detailed comparison covers the M4 MacBook Pro vs M3 Air when it comes to performance, features, specs, and more.

Apple's brand-new M4 MacBook Pro 14-inch is already on sale, with preorder discounts knocking triple digits off the new release in addition to savings on three years of AppleCare.
