Here’s where you can preorder the new MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini
Apple has now revealed the entirety of its M4 Mac lineup. It includes a new entry-level MacBook Pro with M4 for $1,599, as well as the step-up M4 Pro (or M4 Max) models in 14- and 16-inch sizes, which once again start at $1,999 and $2,499, respectively. We’re also getting a new 24-inch iMac with M4, plus an updated Mac Mini with an incredibly small build and an M4 chip. Preorders for the desktop machines start at $1,299 and $599, respectively, and all of the new hardware launches on November 8th.
Besides faster processors, a common theme among the 2024 Macs is that they all start with more RAM to aid the Apple Intelligence experience arriving as part of macOS Sequoia 18.1. Apple doubled the memory from 8GB to 16GB on the entry-level M4 MacBook Pro, the M4 iMac, and the M4 Mac Mini. The MacBook Pros with M4 Pro, meanwhile, now offer 18GB as opposed to 24GB.
Most of the new machines look familiar otherwise, with the exception of the M4 Mac Mini. The new model is considerably smaller than the M2 Mini from last year, and features a reshuffled I/O configuration — the front has a 3.5mm audio jack and two USB-C / Thunderbolt ports, while the rear gets three additional USB-C ports in addition to a gigabit ethernet and HDMI port. However, the base M4 Mini still uses Thunderbolt 4, while the M4 Pro model gets Thunderbolt 5.
The same Thunderbolt disparity is true between the M4 and M4 Pro MacBook Pros, though all three get upgraded 12-megapixel webcams with support for Apple’s Desk View mode, along with optional nano-texture displays for reducing glare. The iMac looks the same compared to its predecessor, but also gets the 12-megapixel camera bump and a few new colors. We haven’t tested the new M4 MacBooks, Mac Minis, or iMac (yet), but if you fancy yourself an early adopter, there are a lot of preorder options to consider.
Where to preorder the MacBook Pro with M4
The base M4 MacBook is still only available in a 14-inch configuration, but it now comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD at its $1,599 starting price. Apple also threw in an extra USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 port on the right side and added space black as a color option. Apple is accepting preorders right now ahead of the laptop’s November 8th release date.
You can upgrade to 1TB of storage for an extra $200 before checkout or 2TB of storage for an additional $400. The same for the RAM; you can get 24GB for another $200 or 32GB for $400. You can also opt for a nano-texture display that reduces screen reflectivity for another $150.
Where to preorder the MacBook Pro with M4 Pro
You can now preorder the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro (12-core CPU and 16-core GPU), 24GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage from Apple for $1,999. Stepping up to the 14-core CPU / 20-core GPU version of the M4 Pro chip is an added $200. You can also get a 1TB SSD for $200, 2TB for $600, or 4TB for $1,200. Doubling the RAM to 48GB is another $400.
You can also upgrade the new MacBook Pro to an M4 Max chip. The 14-core CPU / 32-core GPU version is an $800 upgrade and comes with 36GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD to start. You can also preorder a model with a 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU for an extra $1,100. Going with that configuration increases starting RAM to 48GB, plus further upgrade options of 64GB for another $200 or 128GB for an extra $1,000. It’s also the only way to get 8TB of storage, which is an extra $2,200.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro is even pricier, naturally. It starts at $2,499 from Apple with a 14-core / 20-core M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD with the same RAM and upgrade options as the 14-inch model. The M4 Max model starts you out with 14 CPU cores, 32 GPU cores, 36GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage for $3,499, with the same SSD upgrades but no option to increase memory. If you want additional RAM, you’ll need the $3,999 model with the 16-core / 40-core M4 Max, which starts with 48GB of RAM and is upgradeable to either 64GB or 128GB.
You can get the glare-reducing nano-textured display in both the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro configurations for an extra $150, and both are available in space black and silver.
Where to preorder the M4 iMac
The iMac comes with a Magic Keyboard and your choice of a Magic Mouse or a Magic Trackpad (the latter of which costs $50 extra), all of which now feature USB-C ports. It will be available on November 8th, but you can preorder it now from Apple in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver, with the base model starting at $1,299. It’s also up for preorder in select configurations at Amazon for the same price or at Best Buy for $50 off with a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership, which start at $50 a year.
The entry-level version offers a pair of Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, along with an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU. It also offers 16GB of RAM, but you can upgrade to 24GB for $200 more. The iMac also features 256GB of storage by default, but an extra $200 gets you 512GB of storage, while $400 more gets you 1TB of storage. For another $200, you can add nano-textured glass, which helps scatter light and minimize screen glare.
The higher-end models, meanwhile, are available from Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy starting at $1,499 and come with four Thunderbolt 4 ports, 16GB RAM, and 256GB of storage. Paying $200 extra allows you to upgrade to either 24GB of RAM or 512GB of storage. If you need even more storage, you can get 1TB or 2TB for an extra $400 or $800, respectively. Apple also lets you upgrade to 32GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $400 extra.
Where to preorder the M4 Mac Mini
The M4 Mac Mini is currently available from Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy starting at $599 in its base configuration, which includes a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. You can upgrade to 512GB of storage for an additional $200, 1TB for $400, or 2TB for $800. RAM surcharges are similar; jumping to 24GB of RAM adds another $200 to your total, and you can get it with up to 32GB of RAM for $400.
As for the model with the M4 Pro chip, you can preorder it from Apple, Amazon, and Best Buy starting at $1,399 with a 12-core CPU and a 16-core GPU, 24GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Upgrading the M4 Pro to a 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU costs an extra $200. You can also double the storage to 1TB for $200, get 2TB for $600, 4TB for $1,200, or max out with 8TB for $2,400. Memory upgrades are similarly pricey, with 48GB adding $400 to the total and 64GB adding $600.
Both the M4 and M4 Pro Mac Minis allow you to upgrade to 10-gigabit ethernet for an extra $100, too. There’s only one color (silver), by the way, and neither package includes a mice or keyboard. Both will start shipping on November 8th.
