Macbook Pro, M4 Pro, 24gb unified memory, 1TB possible?

I need to upgrade my dinosaur MacBook and during my research I've only come across a couple of websites offering 24gb unified with 1TB memory (most are 512gb).

My specs: MacBook Pro 16.2" with M4 Pro, 24gb unified memory, 1tb storage.

Am I missing something? Will the laptop run perfectly with 24gb/1TB. I believe 48gb unified will be too much for my 'at home' workload so I would like to stick to 24gb (unless advised otherwise), but I want 1TB storage.

Many thanks for any advice.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7

Are you buying new? YOu can custom order if not stock: Buy 16-inch MacBook Pro - Apple


RAM is memory

SSD is storage




Surface mount technology there is no upgrading hardware after purchase.

This is the state of the new SoC (System on a chip)

the [physical] shops will allow you to test these devices, and see how shiny they are. But I find the physical store too noisy and bustling with activity to concentrate on the complex details and tradeoffs of what needs to be included in building a Mac.


Almost every unit beyond the entry models will NOT be available for immediate sale, and when you order one, it will be typically be custom built for you in a factory in the Far East, and rushed to your store or your door for delivery to you, typically in a few weeks time. You can see the expected delivery date when you order, and they have tended to be very accurate.
