Battery life is another area where these models differ slightly. In rigorous testing, the MacBook Pro M4 retained 74% of its battery after a full day of use, compared to the Air’s 68%. Despite its higher performance capabilities, the Pro benefits from a larger battery and an efficient cooling system, which contribute to its longer runtime.

Apple's latest M4-powered MacBook Pro is its best yet, but it's also an expensive computer even at its cheapest. That means that it's more important than ever to find the right deal, and that means taking advantage of this $204 discount while you still can.
