Our tech reviewer always wanted a new iMac, and testing the M4 model has shown him the ups and downs of Apple’s latest edition.

While the Apple MacBook Pro M4 launched under a week ago, you can already get a $125 discount on it. Should you get one?

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often the improvements are in the single or low double digits.
