Apple's 14" pro laptop with the M4 Pro chip is the first MacBook to ship with Thunderbolt 5, delivering up to 120Gbps of bandwidth across all three USB-C ports. Charging is handled by either MagSafe 3 (preferred, magnetic) or any of the three Thunderbolt 5 ports via USB-C PD. The dedicated HDMI 2.1 port supports up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@240Hz to a single external display, and the full-size SDXC slot reads UHS-II cards at up to 312MB/s. The 3.5mm headphone jack supports high-impedance headphones natively, no DAC required.
