Apple MacBook Pro M4 Max (36GB/1TB) Specs and Price

Design and Build

The MacBook Pro M4 Max is a premium machine in every sense. With its Space Black and Silver options, it looks sleek and modern. Its dimensions (35.57 x 24.81 x 1.68 cm) and weight (2.15 kg) make it portable but still substantial, as you'd expect from a laptop of this screen size. The addition of MagSafe 3 for charging feels convenient, and the build quality is what you'd expect from Apple.

Display Quality

This laptop features a 16.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR display, which is nothing short of stunning. It supports a billion colors, has a peak brightness of 1600 nits, and offers sharp detail at 3456 x 2234 pixels. The 120Hz ProMotion adaptive refresh rate makes everything look smooth, whether you’re editing videos or just scrolling through webpages. True Tone, HDR10+, and the Wide Color P3 ensure vibrant, accurate colors. For anyone who works with video and graphics editing, it’s hard to find fault here.

Performance and Hardware

At the heart of the MacBook Pro M4 Max is the Apple M4 Max chip, featuring 10 performance and 4 efficiency cores, a 32-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. Combined with 36GB of RAM and 1TB SSD storage, this machine can handle heavy tasks like video editing in ProRes or 3D rendering without breaking a sweat. The 21 hour battery life (or 14 hours of web use) is impressive for such a powerful device, and the 140W power adapter charges it up quickly.

Audio and Connectivity

The six-speaker system delivers wide stereo sound with Dolby Atmos support, making it great for music or movies. Dynamic head tracking adds a cool spatial audio effect, and the three studio-quality microphones pick up clear audio for calls or recordings. Connectivity is modern with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt / USB4 ports, and MagSafe. Whether you're working or relaxing, everything feels seamless.

Starting at KSh 480,000, this laptop is aimed at professionals who need top-tier performance and graphics capabilities. It’s overkill for casual users but perfect for video editors, designers, or anyone who needs a powerful machine for demanding tasks.
