Hello!
I'm interested in trying macOS and have decided to purchase a MacBook Pro. As I've never used this type of machine before, I'm unsure about the necessary configuration. My work involves using the Unreal Engine, DaVinci Resolve, and Photoshop + Lightroom. Currently, I'm using a Legion 5 Pro with i7 12700h + 3060 +32 RAM, which adequately handles my tasks.

After doing some research, I've found two interesting configurations.

1. m3 pro 16 + 36 ram (16in is a big plus)
2. m2 max 14 + 32 ram

Could you recommend which MBP is good for such applications?
Could there be another configuration to consider?

Depending what interested in unreal engine for, the m3 is probably more worthwhile due to the newer gpu with raytracing supported, though the total graphical/cpu grunt would be less than the m2 max
