MacBook Pro 14 (M4 Max) vs MacBook Pro 14 (M4 Pro)

Both models share the same M4 Pro 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, so CPU/GPU performance is identical. The 24GB RAM version is sufficient for video editors working with 4K ProRes timelines and coders running Docker containers with 8+ virtual machines. The 36GB RAM version supports professionals editing 8K RAW footage in Final Cut Pro while simultaneously rendering in After Effects with 12+ background processes. In UAE at AED 12799 vs AED 10399, the 36GB model is better because it saves AED 2400 for double the memory, critical for heavy multitasking. In India at ₹319900 vs ₹259900, the 36GB model wins on value because it delivers 50% more RAM for ₹60000 less, enabling smoother 8K workflows without upgrading later.
