Which One is Worth Buying?

The choice essentially depends on your priorities. If you want the larger screen and the best audio system while saving some money, the 15'' at €1,180 is a deal, especially for those who primarily use the laptop at home or in the office. If, however, you are a mobile professional who needs more RAM for intense multitasking, development, or editing, the 13'' with 24GB at €1,308 is the smarter configuration: €128 more to double the RAM and storage is an investment that pays off over time. Both models are fanless and operate in total silence, as Apple has resolved the limitations of the predecessor M3 with the M4. Among other features, they also support two external monitors simultaneously, making these MacBooks suitable for advanced desktop setups.
