This is one of my current Macbook Pro builds, the 2nd one is almost identical (a little less horsepower), and much of the software/programs I use still isn't fully utilizing what these builds can do. Â I usually just max everything out on the build but hold back on max storage (most of my storage is on 4 external ssds for redundancy). Â If I were to upgrade to the M4, the bulk of the software I use wouldn't get enhanced for it for months or years later. Â What I need most is the RAM, thats why I'm going to hold out a little longer for a new Mac Studio. I'm not sure what software you're using for your Graphics design, but going with the largest build you can afford may not pay off immediately, but could be very rewarding years down the road. Â |
I use Abobe Illustrator/InDesign/Photoshop, none of which require the gargantuan specs you've posted above haha. With that said, the M4 Pro is supposedly superior to the M3 Max in many ways, which is kind of nuts.
Guessing you're rendering or running complex modelling software to require that kind of grunt.
I'm also Scottish, we're known for our stinginess, ain't no world where I'd part with over 5K for a laptop!
