KUALA LUMPUR, December 1 – Apple has officially unveiled its 2024 lineup of MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and iMac devices, powered by the highly anticipated M4 processor, in Malaysia. Initially announced in October, these new products are now available for pre-order through Apple Malaysia’s website, with deliveries slated to begin in early December. With advancements in performance, efficiency, and versatility, the new lineup caters to a wide range of computing needs for professionals and general users alike.
The MacBook Pro is available in both 14-inch and 16-inch variants, with options for the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max processors. Starting at RM6,999 for the base 14-inch model, the series offers configurations that scale up to the top-tier 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max, featuring 128GB Unified Memory and an 8TB SSD for RM31,739. Notably, this pricing is more competitive compared to the previous M3 lineup, with differences ranging from RM500 to RM1,000. Additionally, a nano-texture display option, which reduces screen glare and reflections, is available for RM640 for both sizes.
The Mac Mini has also been refreshed with the M4 processor, offering compact yet powerful computing. Starting at RM2,499, the Mac Mini features options for the M4 or M4 Pro processors. The highest configuration, which includes an M4 Pro chip, 64GB memory, and an 8TB SSD, is priced at RM19,599. For users requiring faster network capabilities, Apple provides a 10GB Ethernet upgrade for RM425. Its compact design and high performance make the Mac Mini a popular choice for professionals in creative fields and small offices.
Desktop users will be pleased to see the 24-inch iMac upgraded with the M4 processor, starting at RM5,799 for the base model with 8GB memory and a 256GB SSD. Higher configurations include options with up to 32GB memory and a 2TB SSD, priced at RM11,799. The iMac’s 4.5K Retina display now supports a nano-texture glass option, available for RM850, which reduces glare and enhances viewing comfort, particularly for those working in brightly lit environments. Unlike the MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, the iMac is exclusively offered with the standard M4 processor.
The introduction of the M4 processor brings significant improvements in speed, power efficiency, and graphics capabilities. For the MacBook Pro, configurations like the M4 Max deliver exceptional performance with up to 40-core GPUs, making them ideal for professionals in video editing, 3D rendering, and other demanding applications. Meanwhile, the Mac Mini and iMac offer powerful computing solutions for everyday users and professionals seeking high-quality performance in compact and stylish designs.
For the first time, the iMac and MacBook Pro now support nano-texture displays across specific configurations. This feature, previously reserved for high-end displays, minimizes reflections and provides a smoother viewing experience. The addition of this feature reflects Apple’s commitment to enhancing usability for professionals who require precise visuals in challenging lighting conditions.
This launch also highlights Apple’s strategy to make its premium devices more accessible by offering competitive pricing. Compared to its M3 predecessors, the M4 series is priced to appeal to a broader range of users, from casual consumers to creative professionals and enterprise clients. The lineup also introduces scalable configurations, ensuring flexibility for diverse user needs.
With its 2024 Mac M4 series, Apple continues to set industry standards, offering cutting-edge technology paired with sleek design and reliability. These new devices underscore Apple’s commitment to innovation and user experience, further solidifying its position as a leader in the global tech market. Malaysians now have the opportunity to experience the future of computing with the M4-powered MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and iMac.
