M4 MacBook Pro Review Posted By Russian YouTuber Reveals The Lack Of A Design Change, But Incredible Performance Uplift Thanks To Chipset Upgrade
Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro lineup that includes the 14-inch and 16-inch versions, will reportedly launch on November 1, but before the grand unveiling, a review of the smaller portable Mac has been posted on YouTube in what is possibly one of the craziest surprises to come across before the year ends.

The SoC in the M4 MacBook Pro performs slightly faster than the same silicon powering the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, suggesting that the active cooling fan might have given the M4 more breathing room.
