MacBook Pro 16" Laptop - Apple M1 Max chip - 32GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Space Gray

This MacBook is amazingly fast. Editing multiple 4K timeline projects is a breeze in DaVinci Resolve. I came from a 13” M1 MBP and this screen real estate & XDR display hands down gave me a better experience. It’s nice not having to be next to an outlet while completing projects. The battery performs amazingly well while editing and crazy when just utilizing it for normal use. Only gripe I have was how poorly Bestbuy packaged this. There was one 8 part air pack in a box way to large. There were indication of it being dropped which am lucky Apple does a great job boxing it’s products.

I am a software engineer who uses this as my daily machine now. Our shop is mostly .NET so I run Windows 11 ARM and do all of my work in Visual Studio. I have run into very Few compatibility issues (other than having to run a really old version of SQL Express). Aside from that being able to use my air pods for meetings, answering calls and texts directly from my Mac has been fantastic. It’s super fast even with a VM chewing up resources. I don’t recall my fan ever coming on either. I also have an M2 MacBook Air and will say that’s a great machine as well.

This is amazing. I bought it to run Ableton Live mostly since I was having issues with projects on my maxed out 2013 iMac which had a 3.5GHz Quad Core i7 and GTX780M with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut TIM and Gelid Extreme pad for vram, 32gb of Mushkin BlackLine ram, OWC 1TB Aura Pro X2 and 1TB Mercury Electra 6G. It also runs DaVinci Resolve super quick. My old iMac had issues with all of my usb midi controllers which this does not. A good thunderbolt dock and usb hub, two external thunderbolt drives and 4k monitor. I can run a video editor, DAW and record video simultaneously on the same machine. 32gb is still good for me now. My largest projects open with other apps I still have a few gbs available. Usually tops out around 28gbs.

i use this computer for everything! i am a graphic designer and when i tell you this computer has horse power it really does. i can use all Adobe programs, including 3D programs such as Blender & Rhino. i’ve been using this computer for the past 6 months, and as a design students it’s been working through programs like Adobe Aftereffects like nothing. I haven’t even heard the fans kick in once. Highly recommend this for any designers out there, as i have enough RAM to keep programs from closing and so much storage to last a long long time, especially since i offload into an external hard drive. this is my experience coming from using a Macbook Air 2017 model.

Waited for long time for it. Waited for the mini-led, waited for the high-performance ARM chip especially for graphics. And all of these came true this year. Though didn't expect the unwanted notch. The performance is really good! No more media optimization is needed to smoothly playback the 4k video or even 8K video during editing in Davinci Resolve or FCPX. Also tested on playing dota2, amazingly, with the highest picture quality, it steadily run on 60FPS and the fans are barely running!! As for appearance! Tool should be the tool! I do like the screen, and no word is needed here for the amazing XDR screen! Pro: - Very high performance that could compare with rtx 3080 while maintaining a very low power consumption. - Good battery life speaking to the given performance. - Very good screen with mini-led tech. - Very good sound quality. - Good webcam quality, but give a notch. Cons: - The apperance just got a little bit ugly than previous gen, but it's definitely ok - The notch!! (Would be hidden during full screen mode) - The M1 Max would be threshold after a while heavy duty. And overall M1 Max is only 40~60% more performance than M1 Pro, which is a little bit less than expected. - HDMI is only 2.0 Overall, if with budget, m1 pro 16 ram is highly recommended, but if you have the extra budget, go for m1 max, and you won't regret it.

Excellent product! This Mac has excellent memory capacity both ram and graphics. Not to mention the long battery life, so it was the perfect match for me, since as a product designer, I have to manage various programs and software, and at the same time I have to spend hours working remotely and nomadically. so i really recommend this product.

Fastest laptop I've ever used. Tons of RAM, Tons of storage.

This macbook is a BEAST for using for my work! I only regret not buying more storage space.
