Can an MBP 16 Max do what a Studio can do for me?

Can an MBP 16 Max do what a Studio can do for me?

Needs:
Run Lightroom; maybe video in future
Run Chrome
The MPB would need to run at least 2 external monitors cleanly - an Apple display and a 4K eizo
The Studio (not Ultra) would need to run three.

I know the specs say that they can but can they do so without bogging down?

Thank you.

Yes and with no problem.

They're pretty much equal in power at this point in time.

A Mac Mini with M2 Pro would do what you're asking for without breaking a sweat and would cost about a third as much.

Yeah if you can get by with 2 externals I’d go with the M2 Pro Mac Mini, if not then the M3 Pro MBP will be plenty.

M2 Pro Mac Mini can use 3 external displays:

• Up to three displays: two displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one display with up to 4K resolution at 60Hz over HDMI

So if OP needs 1 Apple Studio Display and one 4k Eizo monitor then they can still connect another Apple Studio Display or any 4k60hz monitor.

I stand corrected head is too far in MBP land!

OK - thanks all.
