Hi Mac rumors community,
I am trying to choose a macbook pro for my use cases but it's not eazy.
My context :
I am a developper working with differents technologies (Python, Javascript, C#, R, ...) and I want to dive more into IA/Deep learning work.
I am also doing video editing with DaVinci Resolve (paid version) using 4k 10 bits rush from a Sony A7 IV and effects from the toko graphics pack.
I worked with Mac a few years ago (in the intel ERA) but actually I am more a "desktop user" with this config :
13700k (16 cores cpu), 32 go ram and a RTX 3070 (8 go GPU vram)
My experience on this config is not good.
When I use effects from toko on top of the rush, the playback is only about 10 fps, something like 30 fps would be really better.
The bottleneck is probably the GPU ram.
Another need : I want to be able to work anywhere, and not only in my home with my desktop.
With this context I consider that the perfect match for that is a Macbook pro with the new stellar m3 max.
But I really not sure about 2 points : the ram and the screen size.
I think I prefer the 14' size to be mobile but I am wondering if the video editing experience would be good. Does any video editors arround have feedbacks on working with a 14' macbook pro ?
After researchs I know that if I take the 14' is preferable to take the M3 max 14/30 in order to limit heat/loud noise because of the fan system of the 14'.
About the ram the unified memory seems to be awesome but I am affraid by the numbers.
Apparently 36gb of ram could be enough for video editing but it's less than my 32 go ram + 8 go vram that is not satisfactory.
Playback can take a lot of memory (probably 16 ? 24 ? I don't know).
About that need do you think I need to go to 96gb or the 36gb should be ok ?
The memory is really expensive on these macbooks...
About the deep learning, if there is an IA expert arround here, how many ram do you think I need ? I really don't know if going after 36 gb would be a little comfort or waste or crucial.
Thank you by advance people.
Regards,
Anthyme
