MacBook Pro 16 (M4 Pro) vs MacBook Pro 16 (M4 Pro)

Both laptops share the same M4 Max 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU, so CPU/GPU performance is identical. The 1TB/36GB model is for professionals editing 8K ProRes video in Final Cut Pro or running 10+ VMs simultaneously—48GB RAM and 1TB storage prevent bottlenecks during multi-track rendering or large dataset handling. The 512GB/24GB model suits software developers compiling large codebases or photographers managing 50,000+ RAW files, where 24GB RAM and 512GB SSD are sufficient for macOS 15 Sequoia workflows without external storage. In UAE at AED 12,399 vs AED 9,999, the 512GB/24GB model is better because it saves AED 2,400 with no performance loss for most pro tasks; in India at ₹309,900 vs ₹249,900, the 512GB/24GB model wins on value because ₹60,000 saved can buy a 2TB external SSD and still leave budget for accessories.
