My m1pro was wonderful....until it was suddenly not. I got into seriuous levels of photo editing with Affinity Photo, and Topaz. Both of these send my 16gb M1Pro in the high levels of yellow or in the red in memory pressure, along with serious amounts of memory swapping from the SSD. I discovered that the program will crash if it approaches 3x the actual RAM memory from swapping the SSD.
And so, I was going to wait but with the uncertain tariff policies, I bought a refurb M4max with 48 gb and 1 tb. I still need to not run anything else when I am running Topaz, but thats really not a problem since the other apps open instantly.
