I have to test two Macbooks:
M2 Max Macbook Pro , 32GB Ram, 1TB Hard Drive.. Cost £2595. Battery Cycles 50
M3 Macbook Pro 14 11c/18GPU. 36GB Ram, 1 TB Hardrive Cost: £2459
My usage:
I produce and edit sound
I DJ with a windows application via Parallels
Usual office stuff
I will use the machine 70 percent at home, sometimes on the couch, sometimes on desk with 27inch monitor
30 percent out in coffee shops
As far as I can tell, both machines have similar power, but the M2 Max obviously has more GPUs. I don't often edit video, but do occasionally.
The 16 inch is massive but I could probably just about cope with it. It will have 12 months warranty from a refurbished vendor. M3 will obviously have Apple warranty and I would be able to add Applecare to this one.
I am really struggling to decide .. what would you recommend me going for?
