The M4 MacBook Pro models may be featuring quantum dot technology. The jury is still out on whether these displays are better than before.

That's according to prominent display analyst Ross Young, anyway. Young took to X on Thursday to point out that Apple has adopted a "quantum dot" display for the M4 MacBook Pro.

The Apple Mac Mini M4 launched only a week ago, and people are absolutely loving it. It also just got its first discount!

Apple outdid itself with the M4 MacBook Pro. Now, a top insider revealed yet another major change that no one knew about until now.

Apple's new M4 MacBook Pro has a significant upgrade to the display, and the company somehow forgot to mention it.

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple adopts QD film for the M4 MacBook Air, which uses an LED display, instead of the mini-LED display in the MacBook Pro. Reports say that the new Air will be revealed in the spring of 2025 and it’s expected to be nothing more than a chip upgrade.

The M4's single-core performance is between 14 and 21 percent faster than the M3s in our tests, and tests that use all the CPU cores are usually 20 or 30 percent faster. The GPU is occasionally as much as 33 percent faster than the M3 in our tests, though more often, the improvements are in the single or low double digits.

The biggest reason to upgrade to the MacBook Pro M4 is the performance. This machine gets the newest M4 chip that is based on a 3-nanometer process, promising the fastest CPU core and better multithreaded performance than M3. Based on our testing, the M4 blows a lot of the competition away but not on every test.

As I wrote in my review, my MacBook Pro M4 is a performance beast that I use hours a day. And it has a benefit I didn’t even realize. In an X post display analyst Ross Young says Apple used a quantum dot film instead of a red KSF phosphor film in the laptop.
