Release year20242024
ChipApple M4 Pro: 12-core CPU (8 performance + 4 efficiency) with 16-core GPU, or 14-core CPU (10 + 4) with 20-core GPU; 16-core Neural Engine; hardware ray tracing

The M4 Pro has no separate graphics card; the GPU is integrated into the chip and shares memory with the CPU.

Apple		—
Unified memory24 GB standard; configurable to 48 GB; 273 GB/s memory bandwidth

Memory sits in the same package as the chip and cannot be upgraded later; it is chosen at purchase.

Apple		—
Storage512 GB SSD standard; configurable to 1 TB, 2 TB or 4 TB

The SSD is soldered to the board and cannot be replaced later.

Apple		2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots in total

ASUS counts two M.2 PCIe slots including the used one; a second SSD can go in the other slot.

ASUS
Display14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR; 3024 × 1964, 254 ppi; mini LED; ProMotion up to 120 Hz; 1,000,000:1 contrast

The mini LED backlight dims and brightens in zones, deepening blacks and letting bright HDR areas reach high brightness.

Apple		ROG Nebula Display: 16-inch, 2560 × 1600 (16:10), IPS-level, anti-glare; 240 Hz, 3 ms; 100% DCI-P3; G-Sync; Pantone Validated

240 Hz makes motion smoother when a game approaches 240 frames per second; G-Sync matches refresh to frame rate to reduce tearing. 100% DCI-P3 means a wide gamut covering the cinema colour space; Pantone validation refers to factory colour calibration.

ASUS
BrightnessXDR: 1000 nits sustained full-screen, 1600 nits peak (HDR content only); SDR: up to 1000 nits outdoors

The 1600-nit peak applies only to HDR content and below 25 °C ambient temperature.

Apple		—
Glass optionStandard glass or optional nano-texture glass

Nano-texture glass scatters reflections for better readability in bright places; a special cloth is recommended for cleaning.

Apple		—
Ports3 × Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C, up to 120 Gb/s); HDMI; SDXC card slot; MagSafe 3; 3.5 mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones

HDMI output supports one display at 8K 60 Hz or 4K 240 Hz. The laptop can also charge over the Thunderbolt ports instead of MagSafe 3.

Apple		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbit/s, DisplayPort), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gbit/s, DisplayPort / power delivery / G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (10 Gbit/s), 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × RJ45, 3.5 mm audio

ASUS lists G-SYNC only for the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, which also accepts charging from the 100 W USB-C adapter. HDMI 2.1 FRL allows high refresh rates at high resolution on compatible TVs and monitors.

ASUS
External display supportUp to two displays at 6K 60 Hz over Thunderbolt, or one 6K 60 Hz over Thunderbolt and one 4K 144 Hz over HDMI

The M4 Max version supports more external displays; the M4 Pro is limited to two external displays.

Apple		—
Battery and charging72.4 Wh lithium-polymer; up to 22 hours of video streaming, up to 14 hours of wireless web; 70 W USB-C adapter with the 12-core model, 96 W with the 14-core model

Fast charging needs a 96 W or higher adapter; on the model with the 70 W adapter it has to be chosen separately.

ASUS
Graphics switching—MUX Switch + NVIDIA Advanced Optimus

The MUX connects the display directly to the RTX GPU to cut latency and performance loss in games; Advanced Optimus can switch without a restart.

ASUS
Memory—32 GB: 2 × 16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM, dual channel; up to 32 GB
