I bought my M1 MBP (The OG) in 2020. For the next 3 years, it was my daily for work even though my workload required a Windows VM. The only time I had to take a charger with me was when I travelled interstate/internationally for multiple days. The M1 basically reinvented how I saw laptops, from living exclusively in front of a powerful desktop to suddenly having enough portable battery and compute power. I suddenly had the ability to take my whole life with me wherever I went. Suddenly, everything I did became portable - my hobbies and my work. It honestly changed my life and I still use the same M1 MBP today, even to type this comment. After M1 came along, I suddenly realised I could work from anywhere. I went to Cafe's, pubs, my local river just because I could. I travelled to multiple countries in these 4 years and not once did I ever experience battery anxiety. As part of my profession and hobbies, I live much of my life in front of a computer and the M1 absolutely changed how I live.

M1 Max has two media engines only latest gen of NVIDIA GPUs have two and you need something above the 4070TI. Thats why in rendering any Apple Max chip will be faster or similar to a powerful gaming PC. But with things like Fx, plugins and noise reduction the PC will have the lead.

Read a comment the other day where this person said they enjoyed the sound of opening a sealed box. It’s your box so go for it. That said this machine has freed me up by being so sna-y and enjoyable.
