I have a pretty well spec'd M1 Max I've been using for years now. I noticed that I'm barely using 1tb of space on this computer. In the past I used the space to edit home movies, but I haven't done it enough to warranty the Apple Tax on the hard drive.
I'm considering selling it for around $2k, and spending about $2700 for the newer M4 Pro base model computer (maybe upgrade to 2tb). Would that be worth it in my situation? Seems like single core benchmarks and multi core stuff is significantly higher in the M4 computers.
Other perks would be a tax write off, and a new battery (this one isn't bad but has 300 cycles, 86% battery).
Should I "upgrade"? Or will I not notice any improvements for casual use?
This M1 Max has been a great computer! Are there any downgrades with the M4 Pro?
