Apple MacBook Pro 14.2" M4 Max Space Black 2024
The M4 Max’s 40-core GPU and 64GB unified memory power a 14.2-inch Mini-LED display with 1600 nits peak brightness and nano-texture glass, all in a 1.60kg chassis. Thunderbolt 5, HDMI, and an SDXC slot provide ample connectivity without dongles. It excels for software developers and video editors working with 8K footage, but its 40.3/100 gaming score makes it unsuitable for serious gaming.
