    Hi folks, Who can inform me about the M1 pro & m1 max SSD lifespan? as IOPS or TBW value? Does anyone know? I am really concerned about SSD lifespan and there is no information anywhere about that subject.

    Are you replacing your 2019 MBP 16" with M1 Pro/Max MBP 16"?

    I'm currently using 2019 MacBook Pro 16" too, and wondering how many 2019 MBP 16" users are buying the new M1 Pro/Max MBP 16". (I'd really like to get one, but am a little hesitant because 2019 MBP's used price dropped a lot after Apple released M1 Macs and the replacement cost is so high...)

    16" M1 Pro vs M1 Max Geekbench scores (violin plot)

    Hey, I parsed Geekbench scores and did a quick violin plot. I was wondering if I made a mistake going with M1 Pro instead of M1 Max. Seems like M1 Max is around 4-5% faster in multi-core and 1-2% faster in single-core workloads. Not a huge deal IMHO :)

    M1 Pro/M1 Max config for a non-creative-pro?

    So, I'm not a creative professional, though I'm not a super casual user either. I consider myself a "prosumer". I dabble in video editing a little bit here and there when inspiration strikes for my YouTube channel(s), and I use Photoshop for my titles and whatnot for the aforementioned videos...

    MacBook M1 Max with 32GB memory bandwidth

    So after first having ordered an 14" M1 Pro 10/16/32GB/1TB, I has second thoughts as seeing quite a few folks on the shipment thread ordering the 24GPU variant instead. So I changed my mind, cancelled the order and instead went for that version, leaving everything else the same. During ordering...
