Our verdict

Mid-range

Apple M4 Pro 16-Core GPU is a mid-range professional graphics chip built into the processor and sharing its memory: made to speed up video, design and 3D work, not to play games. It came out in 2024.

It is currently fitted in 2 laptops from €2075, at an average price of €2076.

Above €2449 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M5 Pro 16-Core GPU is 24% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
