My 2019 Intel MBP is getting long in the tooth. These M4 Pros look great to me.

The base model is perfect. Now to decide between the M3/M4 Air and the M4 Pro.

I’m using the M3 Air 13 in (splurged for 24 GB of RAM, I’m sure 16 is fine) to make iOS apps in Xcode and produce music in Ableton and it’s been more than performant for those tasks

Only downside is the screen. The brightness sort of has to be maxed out to be readable and viewing at a wrong angle makes even that imperfect

That said it’s about the same size / weight as an iPad Pro which feels much more portable than a pro device
