The Apple MacBook Pro with M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max was announced on October 30, 2024 and went on sale November 8, 2024, in two sizes and five models. The 14-inch was offered with all three chips: the M4 (A3112), the M4 Pro (A3401), and the M4 Max (A3185). The 16-inch came in M4 Pro (A3403) and M4 Max (A3186) versions. Every model has a Liquid Retina XDR display, Space Black or Silver aluminum, three Thunderbolt ports, and Apple's M4-family silicon with hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Apple sold these laptops with five chip tiers, memory from 16GB to 128GB, storage from 512GB to 8TB, and an optional nano-texture glass screen, so two machines that look identical on the outside can be worth very different amounts. If you're ready to upgrade or simply want cash for a laptop you no longer use, you can sell it directly to us online with free, insured shipping. Select your screen size, chip, memory, storage, and condition with our tool above to see an instant cash offer for your exact MacBook Pro.

Which M4 MacBook Pro do you have?

The fastest way to check: click the Apple menu () → About This Mac. The window shows "MacBook Pro 14-inch" or "MacBook Pro 16-inch," your chip name, your memory, and the year (2024). For the exact model number, turn the laptop over and read the small print on the bottom case near the hinge, which starts with the letter "A."

Display & audio

Display

Liquid Retina XDR display in two sizes: 14.2-inch (diagonal) at 3024 × 1964, or 16.2-inch (diagonal) at 3456 × 2234, both at 254 pixels per inch. Both reach up to 1,000 nits for everyday SDR content, 1,000 nits sustained full-screen XDR brightness, and 1,600 nits peak for HDR content, with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, P3 wide color, True Tone, and ProMotion adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz. Neither size is a touchscreen.

Standard glass vs. nano-texture glass

Apple offered two screen finishes on every model and both sizes. Standard glass is glossy and shows clear, mirror-like reflections. Nano-texture glass is a paid build-to-order upgrade with a matte, etched surface that scatters glare, so reflections look soft and blurry instead of sharp. Easy checks: turn the screen off and look at a light source in it, look for the black Apple polishing cloth that came only with nano-texture units, or find "Nano-texture display" on your original receipt or box label. Nano-texture screens should be cleaned only with that polishing cloth.

Audio

High-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers, wide stereo sound, and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos. A studio-quality three-mic array with directional beamforming supports voice-clarity modes for calls. The 3.5mm headphone jack supports high-impedance headphones, and the HDMI port supports multichannel audio output.

Ports & connectivity

Both sizes share the same port layout. Every M4 Pro and M4 Max model has Thunderbolt 5, while the 14-inch M4 model uses Thunderbolt 4 and supports fewer external monitors.

Left Side
  • 1× MagSafe 3 charging port
  • 2× Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports (Thunderbolt 4 up to 40Gb/s on M4; Thunderbolt 5 up to 120Gb/s on M4 Pro and M4 Max; all support charging and DisplayPort)
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone jack
Right Side
  • 1× Thunderbolt (USB-C) port (same generation as the left-side ports)
  • 1× HDMI port (up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 240Hz)
  • 1× SDXC card slot

External displays: M4 and M4 Pro support up to two, and M4 Max supports up to four, all alongside the built-in screen. Not included on any model: USB-A ports, an Ethernet jack, Face ID, or a touchscreen.

Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Bluetooth 5.3 Touch ID

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find out exactly which M4 MacBook Pro configuration I have?
Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen and choose About This Mac. You'll see "MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2024" or "MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2024," along with your chip (M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max) and your memory. Next, click More Info, scroll down, and open System Report. The Hardware Overview shows your Model Identifier (Mac16,1, Mac16,8, Mac16,6, Mac16,7, or Mac16,5) and total CPU cores, and the Graphics/Displays section shows your GPU core count. To check storage, open System Settings → General → Storage. If you can't turn the laptop on, flip it over: the model number (A3112, A3401, A3185, A3403, or A3186) is printed in small text on the bottom case. Our MacBook model number guide walks you through each step with pictures.
02 My MacBook Pro looks exactly like this one. How can I be sure it's an M4 model, and which size it is?
Apple has used this same design, with the same ports, notch, and Space Black and Silver colors, across several generations, including the newer M5 family and the older M3 family, so looks alone won't tell you. Go by the chip name and model number. Your Mac belongs on this page only if About This Mac lists Apple M4, M4 Pro, or M4 Max and the bottom case shows A3112, A3401, or A3185 (14-inch) or A3403 or A3186 (16-inch). If you see an M5, M3, M2, or M1 family chip, or any other "A" number, choose that model from our MacBook Pro trade-in page so your quote is accurate. Not sure about the size? The 16-inch is about 14 inches wide and weighs 4.7 pounds, while the 14-inch is about 12.3 inches wide and weighs 3.4 to 3.6 pounds. Also make sure you select the correct chip tier. The 12-core and 14-core 14-inch M4 Pro share A3401, and the 14-core and 16-core M4 Max share A3185 (14-inch) or A3186 (16-inch), so the core counts in System Report are what set them apart.
03 Can I sell an M4 MacBook Pro with a cracked screen, liquid damage, or a worn battery?
Yes. We buy MacBook Pro laptops in every condition, from like-new to cracked displays, dented corners, sticky or missing keys, liquid damage, and units that won't power on. Just choose the condition that best matches your laptop in the quote tool above. If you own a nano-texture model, note that scratches, smudges, or wear on the matte coating count as screen damage, and the coating can be harmed by cleaning with anything other than the Apple polishing cloth. Since memory and storage are built into the board, there are no aftermarket upgrades to worry about. Simply select the configuration your Mac shipped with.
04 What makes one M4 MacBook Pro worth more than another, and where can I trade it in?
Many people don't realize that the chip tier has the biggest impact on resale value. An M4 Max with a 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, and 128GB of memory is worth far more than an entry 14-inch M4 model, even though they look nearly the same. After the chip, the next biggest factors are screen size, unified memory (since it can never be upgraded), storage size (up to 8TB on the M4 Max), and the nano-texture display upgrade, which many sellers forget to mention. Good battery health and an included original power adapter (70W, 96W, or 140W) also help. Many people also don't know they can skip the hassle of listing a laptop on a marketplace: GadgetSalvation buys your MacBook Pro directly, sends a free prepaid and insured shipping label, and pays you after a quick inspection. Learn how our trade-in process works, or read our guide on how much your MacBook is worth.
05 How do I erase my MacBook Pro before shipping, and how do I get paid?
First, back up your files to iCloud or an external drive. Then open System Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings, which signs you out of your Apple Account, turns off Find My, removes Activation Lock, and erases your data in one step. A Mac that is still locked to an Apple Account can't be processed until the lock is removed, so please don't skip this step. If your MacBook was issued by an employer or school, ask the IT department to release it from device management (MDM) before you ship it. We still run certified data sanitization on every device we receive. See our data erasure protocols for details. Once your laptop arrives and passes inspection, payment is approved within two business days through PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, or a mailed check. Your shipping label is always free!
06What's the trade-in value of my Apple MacBook Pro M4 (2024)?
The calculator at the top of this page gives you the current cash offer in a few seconds — no sign-up, no haggling and no waiting on an appraisal. Pick the configuration that matches your Apple MacBook Pro M4 (2024), then tell us its cosmetic condition and whether everything still works. The quote updates as you answer, and the amount you accept is what we pay, provided the device arrives as described. If something is wrong with it — a cracked screen, a tired battery, a laptop that will not power on — say so in the calculator; we still buy most faulty devices, the offer simply adjusts. Offers track the resale market, so it is worth checking again if you are not ready to sell today.
