Apple Unveils MacBook Pro with M4 Chips, AI Photo Clean-Up, and Enhanced Features
November 1, 2024
Apple has unveiled significant upgrades to its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, now equipped with the new M4 chips, including the M4 Pro and the recently launched M4 Max.
These upgraded models are set to be available in stores starting November 8th, following a preorder period.
In addition to hardware improvements, Apple has introduced an AI-driven Photos App Clean Up Tool that enhances images by removing unwanted background elements, although the effectiveness may vary.
A personal experience shared by a user highlights the tool's effectiveness, as they successfully removed strangers from a vacation photo of their daughter.
Despite these enhancements, the pricing remains unchanged at ₹59,900 in India, making it an appealing option for consumers.
Users have the option to disable summary features if they find them unhelpful or annoying, allowing for a more tailored experience.
While the benchmarks for the new chips are promising, caution is advised as the results should be interpreted with skepticism until the devices are widely available.
The announcement event included a concise 90-second video recap showcasing the key highlights of the new products.
However, Apple CEO Tim Cook did not clarify whether the adoption rate of these new models is global or limited to the U.S. market.
Concerns persist regarding the effectiveness of the system in preventing fake reviews and discouraging the purchase of reviews from third parties.
Additionally, users without hearing issues can benefit from improved audio quality through individualized frequency adjustments.
The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining hearing health while enjoying new technology, reflecting on the balance between volume levels and audio quality.
