FAQs

The MacBook Pro M4 Pro is leaps and bounds ahead when compared to the base MacBook Pro M4.

This hardware in this chassis is lot more capable than any desktop computer. The neural engine is also very well combined with 273GB/s memory bandwidth. For almost 2 Lakh INR you will get a machine that is capable of providing more than what 80% of the people need.
Can it handle games?
The macOS and the Apple Silicon are not made for games. Though it has good graphics performance, still it is not optimised for hardcore gaming which Windows laptops offer. It can handle games from Apple Arcade but the experience is not what people expect it to be.
How good is the battery?
MacBooks are very famously known for its long lasting battery life which can give more than 20 hours of battery life (highest in the segment for any Ultrabook). It is packed with the 72.6Wh battery which might sound above average but again its integration with the macOS helps it last long.
Who is this laptop for?
This laptop is not for everyone and most of the people can get their job done with the Apple MacBook Pro M4 or even the Apple MacBook Air M4. This laptop is way expensive for college going students and should be avoided if you as a consumer, do not depend on this machine to make a living. People with career path such as audio engineers, music producers, movie makers, video editors, graphic designers, professional software engineers can benefit from this performance.
