Hi everyone,
I’m currently using an M1 Max MacBook Pro 16" (32 core gpu, 1 TB SSD, 32 GB Ram) and considering upgrading to the M4 Max (40 core gpu, 1 TB SSD, 48 gb RAM).
I was wondering if anyone who has made the jump has noticed any noticeable speed improvements in day-to-day tasks like web browsing, app loading, or general responsiveness. Are these incremental or something that feels more substantial?
My primary use case is video editing. If anyone has done any video editing comparisons between the two, I’d love to hear your thoughts... specifically around rendering speeds, export times, or handling heavier timelines.
I typically sell my MacBook on eBay before it gets too old, so upgrading is part of my usual cycle, but I also know that an OLED MacBook is rumored to come out in 2026.
Should I wait for that, or do you think the M4 Max offers enough of an improvement to justify the upgrade now?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts... thanks!
