The Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M4, 2024) was announced on October 30, 2024 and arrived in stores on November 8, 2024. It shipped in three chip families under three regulatory model numbers: the M4 (Model A3112), the M4 Pro (Model A3401), and the M4 Max (Model A3185), each in a Space Black or Silver aluminum finish with a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display. Apple sold the M4 version through October 2025 and the M4 Pro and M4 Max versions through March 2026, and every unit was built to order with a different mix of chip, memory, storage, and screen glass, so those choices decide what your laptop is worth today. Many owners don't realize they can skip marketplace listings and trade in their MacBook Pro online for cash: pick your chip, memory, storage, and display glass in the tool above to see an instant offer, ship it free, and get paid within two business days of arrival.

How to identify your exact model

You don't need to be tech-savvy to get the right quote. If your MacBook turns on, click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen and choose About This Mac. The window should read MacBook Pro, 14-inch, 2024, and the Chip line tells you whether you have the M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max. The Memory line shows your RAM. To see your storage size, open the Apple logo menu, then System Settings → General → Storage. If the laptop won't turn on, flip it over and read the small print near the hinge for the word "Model" followed by an A-number.

Display & audio

Display

Every chip uses the same 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display at 3024 × 1964 resolution (254 pixels per inch), with ProMotion adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz, up to 1,000 nits of SDR brightness outdoors, 1,600 nits peak for HDR content, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, P3 wide color, and True Tone. A matte nano-texture glass option was available at checkout and shipped with a polishing cloth; the standard glass is glossy. The screen is not a touchscreen.

Audio

Six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers and Spatial Audio for Dolby Atmos content, a studio-quality three-microphone array with directional beamforming, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones.

Ports & connectivity

All three chips have the same physical port layout, but the speed of the USB-C ports differs: the M4 uses Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40Gb/s), while the M4 Pro and M4 Max use Thunderbolt 5 (up to 120Gb/s). The M4 and M4 Pro drive up to two external displays; the M4 Max drives up to four. The laptop charges through MagSafe 3 or any of the USB-C ports. There is no USB-A port, no Ethernet port, no Touch Bar, no Face ID, and no cellular option.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find out exactly which 14-inch MacBook Pro (M4, 2024) I have?
The easiest way takes about 30 seconds. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen and choose About This Mac. Write down the chip (M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max) and the memory amount. Then open the Apple logo menu again and go to System Settings → General → Storage to see your storage size (512GB, 1TB, 2TB, and so on). If you want to confirm the chip's core count, click More Info → System Report and look at the Hardware Overview. Not sure whether your screen is the matte nano-texture option? Nano-texture glass looks frosted and barely reflects overhead lights, while standard glass is shiny like a mirror. If your MacBook won't power on, flip it over and look near the hinge for "Model A3112," "Model A3401," or "Model A3185." Our guide to finding your laptop's model number walks through each step with pictures.
02 My MacBook Pro looks just like this one. How do I make sure I'm quoting the right model?
Apple has used nearly the same outside design on its 14-inch MacBook Pro for several years, so the case alone can't tell you which one you own. This page is only for laptops where About This Mac reads "MacBook Pro, 14-inch, 2024" with an M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max chip, a Model Identifier of Mac16,1, Mac16,8, or Mac16,6, and an A-number of A3112, A3401, or A3185 on the bottom case. If any of those details don't match, you have a different model, and quoting it here would lead to a revised offer after inspection. Find your exact match on our MacBook Pro trade-in page instead.
03 Will you buy my MacBook Pro if it's damaged, worn, or missing the charger?
Yes. We buy MacBook Pros in every condition, from like-new to cracked screens, liquid damage, worn batteries, sticky keys, unresponsive trackpads, and laptops that won't power on. Choose your cosmetic condition, mark Defective if anything doesn't work, and check each issue that applies so your offer reflects the real state of the laptop. If the original 70W or 96W power adapter is missing, simply select No under "Charger Included." Because the memory and storage on this model are permanently built in, nothing can be added or swapped by a previous owner, so quote the exact amounts shown in About This Mac and Storage settings.
04 What makes my MacBook Pro (M4, 2024) worth more, and why trade it in instead of selling it myself?
Many people don't realize how much the hidden configuration matters. The chip is the biggest factor: an M4 Max with the 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU is worth far more than a base M4, and the M4 Pro sits in between. Memory comes next, followed by storage, then the nano-texture display option, having the original charger, and overall condition. Many sellers also don't realize there's an easier option than listing on a marketplace. With our online trade-in service, you get a firm instant offer that stays locked for 30 days, a free prepaid and insured UPS shipping label, and no listing fees, haggling, or meetups with strangers. If our inspection finds a different condition than you described, we'll email a revised offer, and if you decline it, we'll ship your laptop back free. Learn more in our MacBook trade-in guide and see what affects resale prices in how much is my MacBook worth.
05 How do I wipe my MacBook Pro and turn off Activation Lock, and how do I get paid?
First, back up your files with Time Machine or iCloud. Next, turn off Activation Lock by signing out of your Apple Account: open System Settings, click your name at the top, and choose Sign Out. This also turns off Find My, and we can't pay for a Mac that is still locked to an Apple Account. Then go to System Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings. If your MacBook was issued by an employer or school, ask your IT team to release it from device management (MDM) before you ship. Every laptop we receive also goes through NIST 800-88 data erasure, as explained in our data erasure protocols. Once your MacBook arrives and passes inspection, we send payment within two business days by check, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App. Packing tips are in our shipping instructions.
