Pros

M4 chip delivers massive performance leap over M3 with hardware-accelerated ray tracing
16 GB RAM standard — no more $200 upgrade from 8 GB
18-hour battery life is genuinely all-day
Fanless design is completely silent under all workloads
Gorgeous 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display for content consumption

Cons

Still limited to 60Hz display — no ProMotion
Only two Thunderbolt ports — both on the left side
Base 256 GB storage is tight for a $1,299 laptop
No HDMI or SD card slot — dongles still required
