Apple’s Mac products are nicely placed. Apple silicon delivering huge dividends. And the product lineup works.

Meanwhile, PCs are a total mess. Intel is flailing, motherboards frying CPUs last year, grossly overpriced GPUs. Also looks like the latest version of Windows isn’t working properly with Intel’s latest CPU release a few days ago. M$FT better fix that scheduler in 23H2.

Nothing the new m4 MacBook Pro can do that the m1 MacBook Pro can’t. The chip upgrades are not needed the M1 Max is still over kill for most people. I wish we had some major changes that would make me want to get the new one
Is it not a good thing that the machine released what, 4 years ago now is still performing so well? I’d rather that than to be forced upgrade every couple of years because I need more performance.

To be fair after 3 years we should see some design changes nothing major but they need to make the notch smaller or put camera in bezel like windows laptops. Just having a m2 m3 and now m4 isn’t a reason to update from m1.

I am sure a lot of RAM base people will be happy today.
RAM is Apple Silicon's weakest link. The chip itself and SSD performance will never be a bottleneck for most people, but as time passes, the lack of RAM in all those 8GB models out there will start to become noticeable.

It wouldn't surprise me that 8GB models start to get left out of certain new features in future MacOS Releases.
