    Are you replacing your 2019 MBP 16" with M1 Pro/Max MBP 16"?

    I'm currently using 2019 MacBook Pro 16" too, and wondering how many 2019 MBP 16" users are buying the new M1 Pro/Max MBP 16". (I'd really like to get one, but am a little hesitant because 2019 MBP's used price dropped a lot after Apple released M1 Macs and the replacement cost is so high...)

    16" M1 Pro vs M1 Max Geekbench scores (violin plot)

    Hey, I parsed Geekbench scores and did a quick violin plot. I was wondering if I made a mistake going with M1 Pro instead of M1 Max. Seems like M1 Max is around 4-5% faster in multi-core and 1-2% faster in single-core workloads. Not a huge deal IMHO :)

    M1 Pro/M1 Max config for a non-creative-pro?

    So, I'm not a creative professional, though I'm not a super casual user either. I consider myself a "prosumer". I dabble in video editing a little bit here and there when inspiration strikes for my YouTube channel(s), and I use Photoshop for my titles and whatnot for the aforementioned videos...

    Intermediate M1 Pro chip comparisons

    Just looking at the m1 pro chips available on apples site and i'm wondering which of the intermediate m1 chips people feel is the best value for money. Apple didn't say a lot about these chips, they really just emphasised the fact there was a pro then a max, but there are scales of pro before...

    MacBook M1 Max with 32GB memory bandwidth

    So after first having ordered an 14" M1 Pro 10/16/32GB/1TB, I has second thoughts as seeing quite a few folks on the shipment thread ordering the 24GPU variant instead. So I changed my mind, cancelled the order and instead went for that version, leaving everything else the same. During ordering...

    Which has the most colour accurate screen M1 Pro or Air?

    Hey, I've understood in the past that Macbook Pros have had better colour accuracy than Airs. Is this still the case with the M1 laptops? I'm wanting to advise a friend who will be occasionally doing colour critical work. Thanks in advance, B.
