I upgraded from an MBP M1 Max to the M3 Max in December 2023 after two years with the M1. I work with Final Cut for 4K/8K footage and Capture One for 50MP images, so I needed the power of the M3 Max with 128GB RAM, maxed-out cores, and a 2TB SSD to handle fast turnarounds right after filming.

Staying on the cutting edge is crucial for my business, where speed directly impacts sales.

For those in a similar position—are you planning to upgrade to the M5 Max or hold out for the M6? And if you moved from the M3 to the M4, was it worth it?
