Avast, me hearties! The treasure of Apple’s High Power Mode be settin’ sail on a bounty o’ Macs, includin’ those sportin’ the mighty M4 Pro chip or grander! Hoist the sails and power up, for the seas of speed be callin’! Yarrr!

Ahoy, matey! Gather ‘round as I spin ye a yarn about Apple’s latest contraption, the M4 Pro, a chip so mighty it could unscrew the very hull of the Mac Pro! With a jolly tweak in the software, the fine folk at Apple be callin’ it “High Power Mode,” which cranks up the fans and cools the beastie for peak performance. Aye, it’s now available on more vessels than a pirate’s treasure chest!

But hark! While this High Power Mode be a welcome addition, some scallywags claim the boost be as slight as a seagull’s squawk, with only a cacophony of fan noise to accompany it. The crew at Ars Technica found the gains to be naught but negligible, yet Apple be insistin’ it’s meant for those long, arduous voyages of video rendering and such.

For those of ye who wish to hoist the sails on a MacBook Pro or Mac mini, ye can now access this mode, even if yer purse be light, starting at a fair $1,399. So, fear not, landlubbers, as ye may set sail on an adventure of performance, just don’t expect a cannonball of speed—more like a gentle breeze, with a side of ruckus!
