MacBook Pro 23,000 cheaper! It has insane performance, a beautiful display, and incredible battery life

In November two years ago, Apple introduced the MacBook Pro 16″ with M4 Max for 104,990 CZK. Today, after the arrival of the M5 generation, which again starts above the hundred-thousand mark, last year’s flagship model is available on Heureka from 81,994 CZK. Almost a quarter of the price down — and the hardware remained absolutely the same.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you’re looking for a top-tier work laptop with maximum performance for video, 3D, or development and don’t want to pay a premium for the latest generation.
⚠️ Consider if you need more memory — this configuration offers 36 GB, higher M4 Max variants go up to 128 GB.
💡 For 81,994 CZK you get an M4 Max chip, 36 GB of memory, a 1TB SSD, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and up to 24 hours of battery life.

M4 Max: still a top-tier chip

The M4 Max chip with a 14-core CPU and 32-core GPU is no slouch two years after its introduction. 410 GB/s memory bandwidth, second-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and a 16-core Neural Engine for AI tasks — this is equipment that can easily handle high-resolution video editing, work in demanding professional applications, and modern games. The MacBook Pro 16″ with M4 Max also supports up to four external displays simultaneously — including 8K via HDMI.

Display and battery life that competitors struggle to match

The Liquid Retina XDR display with a 16.2″ diagonal offers a resolution of 3456 × 2234 px, a peak brightness of 1,600 nits for HDR content, and adaptive ProMotion up to 120 Hz. The 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio is a figure practically unmatched on laptop displays, with the exception of OLED panels. The 100 Wh battery then ensures up to 24 hours of battery life — and the included 140W adapter will replenish 50% capacity in half an hour. For 81,994 CZK, it’s still one of the best work laptops you can buy today.

Would you buy last year’s MacBook at a discount, or would you prefer to pay extra for the latest generation?
