The MacBook Pro with M4 Pro is still a beast. In the Czech Republic, you can now buy it with 48 GB RAM and a 4TB SSD for 38 thousand cheaper

It’s still a lot of money. But if you need a MacBook with 48 GB unified memory and a 4TB SSD, you won’t find it cheaper in this configuration. The MacBook Pro 14″ M4 Pro is on Alza for 75,893 CZK after applying the code ALZADNY25 — compared to the original 113,990 CZK, this is a saving of over 38 thousand. The successor with the M5 Pro chip sells from 101,990 CZK, so if you don’t need the absolute latest generation, this is a way to get a premium configuration for significantly less.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you’re involved in 4K/8K video editing, large projects in Logic Pro, 3D graphics, or development — and need huge memory and storage.
⚠️ Consider that the keyboard has a US layout and M5 Pro offers higher performance — but unless you’re working at the absolute edge, you won’t notice much difference in practice.
💡 For 75,893 CZK you get a 14-core M4 Pro, 20-core GPU, 48 GB RAM, 4 TB SSD, Liquid Retina XDR display, and excellent battery life.

Why M4 Pro instead of M5 Pro

The M4 Pro chip with a 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU is still an extremely powerful processor that easily handles editing multiple streams of 4K video, compiling code, or working with large 3D scenes in benchmarks and real-world use. The difference compared to M5 Pro will primarily be noticeable under truly peak loads — and for that difference, you would pay over 26 thousand CZK extra. Most professionals currently working on M1 Pro or M2 Pro will experience a huge leap in performance when upgrading to M4 Pro.

48 GB unified memory can handle even the most demanding workflows — from extensive Logic Pro projects to working with multiple virtual machines and training local AI models. 4 TB SSD means you won’t need to deal with external drives for work projects. And a battery life of up to 24 hours (more realistically 13 – 15) will get you through an entire workday without looking for an outlet.

MacBook Pro offers fantastic features

The 14.2″ Liquid Retina XDR display with 1,600 nits brightness in HDR and a 120 Hz refresh rate is among the best panels on the laptop market. Ports include 3× Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SDXC slot, MagSafe, and a headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones. A 12Mpx camera with Center Stage, a six-speaker sound system with spatial audio, and Touch ID complete the professional features. The weight of 1.6 kg is remarkably low for a laptop with this performance.

The only thing to mention: this specific variant has a US keyboard layout. If you need a Czech layout, check the availability of other configurations. Alza also offers a trade-in bonus of 2,500 CZK for an old MacBook.

Would you switch to M4 Pro with a discount, or would you rather invest in the latest M5 Pro?
