    M2 Pro/Max Macbook Memory pricing

    I’m a computer science major who will have big coding assignments but nothing crazy. I don’t do a lot of high end editing on a regular basis. My only professional use would be these coding projects, other than that, maybe a light gaming(not a big gamer at all), Netflix and everyday things on...

    MBP14" 32GB/1TB or 16GB/2TB for Design?

    Now that the dust is well and truly settled on the M1Pro Macbook Pros - what's the general consensus now on whether it's better to sink money into RAM or SSD capacity?
