I am upgrading from a 2017 intel 15" MBP and am having a hard time to determine which new MBP to purchase.
The issue is that I don't think that I need the processor power of the M4pro or M4max as I am not doing crazy 4k/8k video or 3D graphics. But I like a large screen to have my work displayed without having to strain my eyes, which is why it is disappointing that Apple is not offering a M4 16" model.
My normal use of my MacBook Pro currently is office work, spread sheet, video viewing w/ light editing (for example, trimming clips from videos I use my iPhone to take or are from zooms), screen captures, presentations, video conferences, ripping and converting DVD + Blu-ray movies to play on my Apple TV. Other tasks are light web and database design. In the future I want to work on learning coding for the Mac, as I currently work in primarily in VBA on Windows and have been looking into learning new coding skills and language.
I do not know if a m4 pro would really be worth the expense for the limited things that I do/plan to do.
thoughts are welcome
ps my history with Macs have been a 17” MBP 2007; 2013 & 2017 15” (since apple discontinued the 17”)…. I am worried that 14” may not be large enough.
