How long does the battery typically last?

What is a Liquid Retina XDR display?
The Liquid Retina XDR display is Apple's advanced screen technology offering extreme dynamic range, high contrast ratio, and exceptional brightness (up to 1600 nits peak brightness for HDR content), making it ideal for professional photo and video editing.
How do I connect to Wi-Fi 6E?
Ensure you have a Wi-Fi 6E compatible router. Your MacBook Pro will automatically detect and connect to Wi-Fi 6E networks when available. You can manage your Wi-Fi connections in System Settings > Wi-Fi.
What operating system does this MacBook Pro use?
This MacBook Pro runs on Apple's powerful and intuitive operating system, MacOS. It comes with the latest version of MacOS installed at the time of manufacturing, with free updates available regularly.
How should I clean my MacBook Pro?
To clean the screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. For the chassis and keyboard, a dry, soft, lint-free cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide.
Is this model suitable for gaming?
While the M4 Pro chip offers excellent graphics performance for many modern games, the MacBook Pro is primarily designed for professional creative and productivity tasks. Many games are optimized for MacOS, but some titles may still perform better on dedicated gaming hardware or Windows-based systems.
Troubleshooting
MacBook Pro will not turn on.
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet or USB-C port for charging. If the battery is fully depleted, it may take a few minutes of charging before it can power on.
Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.
Verify your router is functioning correctly. Restart your router and MacBook Pro. Check if you are within range of your Wi-Fi 6E network. You can also try forgetting the network in System Settings > Wi-Fi and rejoining it.
Applications are running slowly or freezing.
Close any unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) to identify processes consuming excessive CPU or memory. Ensure your MacOS and all applications are up to date. If memory (4 GB) is consistently maxed out, consider optimizing your workflow to reduce concurrent heavy tasks.
Battery life seems shorter than expected.
Check battery usage in System Settings > Battery to identify apps or processes consuming the most power. Ensure your MacOS is updated. Reduce display brightness, disable unnecessary background apps, and disconnect unused peripherals. Extreme temperatures can also affect battery performance.
Display issues (e.g., flickering, no image).
Try restarting your MacBook Pro. Ensure the lid is fully open and free of obstructions. If an external display is connected, try disconnecting it to see if the issue persists on the built-in screen.
