Moon Lock is Honestly worth it imo! - https://geni.us/ANFtJH use code RJEYLOCK
This is my long-term review of the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Max after months of real-world use.
I upgraded from a 2019 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro after six years, not because I wanted something new, but because my old machine could no longer keep up with my workflow. Final Cut crashes, timeline lag, loud fans, overheating, and missed deadlines finally pushed me to make the jump to Apple Silicon.
In this video, I break down what the M4 Max MacBook Pro is actually like for creative work over the long term. Performance in Final Cut Pro, multitasking with heavy apps, thermals and fan noise, battery life in real cafés and travel situations, display quality for SDR work, keyboard and trackpad experience, and why I chose the 14-inch model over the 16-inch.
I also talk about why buying refurbished made sense for me, how it saved me money without sacrificing confidence, and why this Mac finally feels like a machine I can trust to get work done without babysitting it.
If you are coming from an Intel MacBook Pro, considering an upgrade to Apple Silicon, or trying to decide between the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, this review is for you.
