Although I have seen the latest version of them and they look more like 3rd place in a Lego building contest. 🙄

Aha... 'Pro' is not 'Pro', but 'Pro' is 'Pro Pro'!! 
I am looking at switching from an old ailing Windows 10 laptop, to a decent new Macbook.
It took me ages to realise why I was getting confused by reviewers suggesting it might be better to buy the M4 Pro version rather than just the Pro M4 version...
Many of you non-Macbook users will be as confused as I was! People familiar with Apple's daft product naming will possibly be nodding in agreement.
To put you out of your misery - there is a product line named 'Pro', a processor line named 'M4', and 3 levels of processor power - '', 'Pro', and 'Max'. No I didn't forget to name the first level of processor power - Apple didn't bother!! Basically, I (and lots of other people) got confused between the MacBook Pro M4 and the MacBook Pro M4 Pro!
Naming the product line 'Pro' makes sense - it is an upmarket/more powerful range of laptops than the 'Air'. Why not call the processor levels something less confusing, like 'Base', 'Plus', and 'Max'?
