M4 MacBook Pros spotted in Russian unboxing videos were apparently legit.

That’s according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who writes today that he is “certain these machines are the real deal.” The machines from last week’s leaks seem to be base model M4 MacBook Pros with 16GB of memory and 10-core CPUs and GPUs, he adds.

Apple is expected to announce the laptops along with a smaller Mac Mini, a refreshed iPad Mini, and more soon.
