The M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch has hit a new record low price of $1,699, with units in stock with free store pickup as early as today. But don't delay, as the deal ends on Christmas Eve.

Apple is rumored to have many product announcements planned for the first half of next year, including updated MacBook Air models, an iPad 11,

The M4 Pro is 84 percent faster than the M4 in the PugetBench Premiere Pro video benchmarks, and the M4 Max is an extra 39 percent faster on top of that. (Of course, the large amount of RAM in our test units is also pulling extra weight with video and photo work.)

Apple already offers quality laptops with powerful M4 chips, but the company doesn't have an M4 MacBook Air yet. There's been no shortage of rumors about Apple's MacBook Air M4, and the latest suggests that the device is already in mass production, which means it should hit the market soon.

While Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the launch of the M4-powered MacBook Air, everything points toward a release in early 2025. With the impressive M4 chip, along with improvements to the camera and connectivity, the new MacBook Air is shaping up to be a strong contender in the ultra-portable laptop market.

Apple's M4 chips have showcased their impressive performance capabilities through the recent launches of the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. However, the MacBook Air featuring the M4 chip has yet to make its appearance.
