MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro

It’s amazing how far Apple has moved me down the chip line. I started using Macs on a Power Mac G5 dual 1.8Ghz in 2004. At the time? That was just sort of expected if you were serious about photo or video. That G5 became a Core2Duo 24” iMac around 2008, which led to a 27” i7 iMac around 2013 which b

Base config on the M5 MacBook Pro is still 16GB RAM. With all the stuff running in the background, they should have bumped base RAM up to at least 24GB. My M1 Pro with 16GB needs to use swap to handle stuff. But it will probably be another 10 years before Apple increases base RAM across the lineup.

You definitely could use it for all of the basics of graphic design. As an Art Director, till last year I was using my work supplied Intel MacBook Pro that was inferior to a Neo in all regards other than display accuracy. The computers we have these days fly through most Adobe apps compared with wha

A thousand cuts of poor software quality. Yes, all those shaders seem badly implemented. But ever since going to "faster" Metal over OpenGL, which just made everything slower back then, that's been a trend anyway. But there are also all the memory leaks. I don't mean the obvious big ones like "calcu

What do you intend to do with this computer? If it's general knowledge worker work, then the standard M4 is certainly capable and would continue to be so for the next 5 years at least. I have a M1 Pro MacBook Pro from 2021 with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage that is sufficient for most of what I d

I'd go for the air. 3y and you're probably gonna spend a lot of time in a billion tabs and a latex or word doc so I'd take the air. I did my thesis on an m2 air 8gb (though all of my data crunchies were actually done on an m1 pro MacBook pro, I carried two laptops for a while lol) and people here ar

I do professional web backend development using the Go programming language on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16GB. And I can say that 16GB is barely enough, as the system often starts using swap. I'm running macOS Sequoia. On macOS Tahoe, RAM consumption would be even worse.

Os modelos Pro Max são poderosos. Tenho um MacBook M1 Pro Max 64GB e fiquei impressionado. Pegue 64GB ou mais pois trabalham em paralelo e faz diferença.

A Mac is generally the best option for graphic design and photography. Instructors will know the software, Apple displays are very accurate, and modern Macs have plenty of power. Most Apple Silicon (M series chip) Macs should be powerful enough. Avoid used Intel Macs. A used MacBook Pro would be my

M1 Pro MacBook. If I had bought more RAM in the just place I’d stay on this machine for the next 5 years.
