💻 M4 Pro vs. M4 Max vs. M3 Pro: Which MacBook Should You Buy in 2025?

New chips. Better screens. Faster ports. But… which MacBook is actually worth it? 🤔

In my new article, I break down everything you need to know before buying a MacBook in 2025:

  • 🧠 M4 Pro vs. M4 Max vs. M3/M2: real CPU, GPU & Neural Engine benchmarks
  • 🎨 New quantum-dot display tech — is it a game changer?
  • 🔋 Battery life & thermal throttling: who wins in real-world use
  • 💾 SSD speed tips, accessory must-haves & nano-texture pros/cons
  • 🎥 Final Cut, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve — which chip renders best?

Whether you're a dev, designer, editor or power user — there's data, advice, and some unexpected insights in there.

👉 Read the full comparison here (with all the charts and buying advice):
🔗 Which MacBook to Choose in 2025: M4 Pro, M4 Max, or Something Else?

If you're still on an M1 or (gasp) an Intel Mac — yes, the jump will feel massive. But if you're already on an M2 or M3… is the M4 upgrade really worth it?
I’ve got answers (and some surprising results 👀)

💬 Got your own benchmarks or experience with these machines? Drop a comment — always curious how others are using theirs.
