m3 max

I recently bought a 16" M3 Max Base Model (14 core CPU, 30 core GPU)... I was planning to upgrade from my M1 Max (10 core CPU, 32 core GPU) but I haven't opened the new computer yet as I've just been realizing that my current M1 Max is totally fine for my needs. I really didn't need to upgrade...

Hey all, I'm curious how hibernate works on the MacBook Pros... I'm used to Windows reserving the amount of RAM in Gigabytes on the SSD, so that it can copy the content from the RAM to the SSD when hibernating. How does that work on the MacBook Pros / in MacOs? I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro...

Hi, i'm currently looking at replacing my archaic 2013 iMac with a Studio Display and one of the following two MBPs: - Apple MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Max Chip 14-Core CPU, 30-Core GPU, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 14 Inch | £2,939.98 - Apple MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Pro Chip 12-Core CPU, 18-Core GPU, 36GB...

I’m completely stumped by this. At home I have a mesh network (ASUS AIMesh) - every other device connects correctly (Wifi 6) Here’s the weirdness. In January I grabbed a completely maxed out 16” MacBook Pro. It’s amazing, but the Wi-Fi isn’t performing right at all. My internet connection...

Hello everyone, I'm considering purchasing a MacBook Pro for my needs in front-end web development. I plan to use it for running Windows 11 virtual machines to test website compatibility and, occasionally, to run software that's not available on macOS. Additionally, I'll be using it extensively...

Just wanted to share in the hope no one else has to waste so much time. It turns out it's one display per port on the mac. Not like with windows where you can use a hub and connect multiple display to the hub. If you do this with a mac you will just end up with an extended display that is...

Hi, I'm looking to get a new Mac and am having some trouble with specs; for context I am coming from a late 2015 MacBook Air (questionable functionality) so anything at this point is a major upgrade. I know this machine is definitely overpowered for what I require but I am looking at it because...

Hey there! I’m a music producer who is using Ableton and I like to finally buy a new machine since my old MBP is very old. Coming from an old MBP from 2009 I know that the M3 will be a massive upgrade for me! But as you can see I‘m not the person who buys a new MBP every 2 years. So I‘m torn...

I recently purchased an M3 Max 14" Pro with 36GB ram, 2TB storage and I'm experiencing excessive heating and fan activity just running a simple Xcode project on the M3 Max. On iStatistico Pro, CPU cores 1-7 are showing around 180-200+ F temperatures and fans over 6k rpm within a minute of...

I side by side tested a 16" M3 Max with the 14/30 36gb Ram (Silver) and 16" M3 Max with 16/40 48gb Ram (Space Black). This was specifically for gaming. I have to say there wasn't much of a difference in my testing with the benchmarks and games I had at my disposal. The 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme...

Any idea if the top of the line Macbook Pro 16" unbinned M3 Max (16 core) would depreciate any faster than the binned 14 core version? Or would it be relatively the same depreciation? Just wondering as this affects my purchase decision. Ideally, I'd like to get something that depreciates...

Long live the Touch Bar… Afterward, I had a good wine with some cheese regarding the pitfall of Apple’s creativity in the design of laptops. It looks like every other professional laptop now :( But the screen is absolutely gorgeous. It makes the monitor I have next to it look so bad… I just...

First, my order: 14" Space Black MBP M3 Max 16/40 64GB 2TB For reference, I'm coming from a 16" MBP Intel i9 2.3GHz Radeon 5300 32GB 2TB and iMac 27" 5K Intel i9 3.6GHz Vega 48 64GB 2TB. I work from home, multitask pretty heavily, and this is replacing both devices. I have a couple 4K displays...

I've seen a lot of people on here talking about returning the M3 Max or going with the M3 Pro over the M3 Max because they want improved battery life or quieter fans. If that is the only thing holding you back—don't do it. What if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds? I was...

When using any Topaz AI photo apps, if I adjust any sliders I can hear the MacBook Pro emit a faint sound. It's almost like hearing the Neural engine processing. It's quiet, but noticeable. Does this happen on other Apple Silicone macs? I would really appreciate if someone could check their...

I just bought a Macbook Pro M3 Max (Base with 14 CPU cores/30 core GPU cores). I'm upgrading from a M1 Max. I haven't gotten the computer yet but I'm wondering if I jumped the gun with upgrading my Macbook Pro when I really didn't need to... I'm curious what you guys think of my reasons for...

Hello I'm looking for some benchmark results comparing the 16" M3 Max 14-CPU / 30-GPU vs 16-CPU / 40-GPU models with regards to the Davinci Resolve benchmark test by Puget Bench. Are there any owners of either of the above machines who could kindly run this test and report the results? Puget...

I have upgraded from a MacBook M1 (not Pro) to a MacBook M3 Max. The M1 has 8 cores, 16 GB memory. The M3 Max has 14 cores and 30 GPU cores, 36 GB memory I am using Davince Resolve 18.6 under MacOS Sonoma. I am kind of disappointed of the Performance of the M3 Max. I used a simple mov-File...

Is this because the M3 MAX 48GB has more ram to work with so it might as well use it? Also my M2 Max is the 30 core vs 40 on my M3 Max so maybe it needs/wants more to run smoothly. I noticed right after turning it on it was using 5-6 gb ram so the base M3 must be restraint

I'm a professional photographer, guidebook writer and video editor looking at finally upgrading my MacBook Pro. Currently torn between the: M3 Max with 14-core CPU/30-core GPU with 96GB of RAM, or 16-core CPU/40-core GPU with 64GB of RAM? The price difference between these two configurations...
