My M2 Max has been super stable also and it works really well with all my emulators and such. Looking forward to testing some of these M3 Pro's and Max that we get for some of our employees. I might upgrade if it's worth the jump from my M1 Max.

I was fortunate about 3 months ago to get a new m1 max with 64gb memory. I have tried the upgraded models and unless you are starting the space shuttle. The m1 max was 2299 as Adorama was running a great deal. In my world which is graphic design, some animation and video editing and it is really good. Yes, the m3 is faster but for what I do the difference is not that big. With the m3 I think apple has made a conscience choice to make the max the true beast. The others are almost slower than the m2 which is weird but it seems like an apple marketing thingie. In the end you need to take what you do and base it on that and not benchmarks. If it works then it works.

Binned at 96GB feels like a smart choice. The full core model's arrangement of cpu/gpu/ram/bandwidth is kind of beautiful. But as good as 64GB sounds today (which is roughly the same price point as the 14core/96GB, whereas its 128GB upgrade means a new price bracket) RAM seems to be the wise thing to future-proof. External storage can be solved for later (sounds looks like you're already in a good place there 🙂) and it will be a while before applications really pressure the cpu/gpu for either of these maxes. But RAM? That always seems to be the thing that gets eaten up first.

To flip that argument, I've only had 1 Macbook Pro which was a 2011 15" (Late Oct) Quad Core, 16Gbs and it lasted me until 2018. (Albeit the graphics card failed twice.) That's 7 years...

Cool but the big question is how has this machine changed your workflow compared to the M1 Max? Based on what I’ve seen, not too much.

I just care about the big bright display, audio drivers, battery life for a safe personal device. Because of safety concerns even if I had M3 max 16cpu, 40gpu I will not use that for any thing heavy, all the so much performance would have been wasted. for 3d ar vr stuff I will get mac studio later. As a safe device air could have been a better choice maybe but with 16 inch display and better audio I timidly hope that it will be fine.

Thanks for this. Great to see a post from someone who paid for and is using the M3 max as an everyday tool, and not just about ootb benchmarks. I feel like the 16" (binned or full) hits this sweet spot where you can use it for pretty much anything, by itself. As well as most workloads be it content, rendering, gaming, coding, or a zillion open browser tabs, it also looks future proof for all the ai agents we're going to see embedded into everything over the next few years that will be gpu, memory and bandwidth intensive. Sure, 16" is big but it can mean some folks won't must have that external monitor, so they'll get to reduce total cost. The chassis size has to help with thermals (great to hear the fans aren't spinning up for you). And the battery lifetime you're getting sounds amazing. Pricey and on the large side physically, but I feel like this max generation will give people 3-5 years of headroom before really needing to upgrade. The only question-still happy with silver?

I do a full dev stack from Unity, Art, animation and rigging (Blender, and Live 2D), Audio work, and writing. It barrels through. I even test games for other project leads using crossover ( I have a ton of games that will sit at around 100FPS at 4K Res) It's nice to have all that power in a small form factor without software breaking all the damn time. So the M3 Max is worth the time saved troubleshooting and forum searching. And it does everything fast. So if you are in windows and think it's ok, just stay there lol. Once you get a Mac that is top notch and realize how many things you do on almost a daily basis just to keep it running right, you will end up very upset with Microsoft. Honestly it's pretty sad too. It's frustration to know that its because Microsoft Devs are taking ALOT of shortcuts, even though you pay for the license. My fans don't even turn on until I am playing an extended game longer than 5 mins. Windows cannot even get close. Idles watching videos or writing at around 42 C with zero fans on. If I was just gaming, I probably would just have a windows gaming rig. When work has to be done, and I need to rely on it, I grab the Mac.

So I made the switch from a Windows PC and bought my first Mac ever (16" M3 Pro with 18gb of ram) to use as my main editing machine. It was great but not flawless for 4k editing without proxies. For science I bought the M3 Max instead with the intention of returning one... and after my testing (which I put on my other channel TheSAHDStudio), the Max blew the doors off the Pro and and I returned it. Now... as much as I love this thing, the price tag for the 16/40 48gb ram has me feeling a little sick to my stomach. I'm wondering just how much worse the M1 Max (with say, 32gb ram) would be vs this M3 Max. I have nothing to compare it to so I'd be curious what you have to say about the M1 Max vs the M3 Max.

I am a battery addict, as I’m coming from an Asus ROG strix g15 advantage edition and my usual battery life is around 3-6 hours depending on usage, and if I’m doing any heavy usage or gaming I might as well just keep it plugged in from the moment I turn it on. With that being said, I’m a computer science major, I game every so often (I have a desktop at home if I get the itch), and I may or may not get into some visual/graphic work in school depending on my major requirements and my elective choices. But I keep seeing videos and posts about the insane differences between the max and the pro chip, especially with gaming where the pro chip will sometimes just crash at certain settings and the max chip gets usually 40%+ better FPS, but is that all worth the battery loss? Also, can ANYONE actually tell me how many hours their m3 max 16 inch lasts??? I feel like I can NEVER get a straight forward answer on this. I’m a numbers guy, I want to see how many hours an m3 max lasts comparatively to a m3 pro in similar tasks but I feel like most KZbinrs avoid this comparison.

Anybody who needs a M3 Max already knows they need it. I got the M3 pro and I love the computer even though its slightly overkill for me.

I have the M1 Max 16 and I am just trying to figure out if they have solved the serious issue with how easy it is to embed/scratch dust into the screen. It also does a wild rainbow diffusion of sunlight across the screen. IMO whatever material they are using for the screen is a huge problem vs any other laptop I've used. I agree in general that the macbook is just wildly superior to other laptops other than this screen issue.

I found the fan noise on the M3 Max 16 (same configuration as yours) to be too loud for my liking when doing even moderately intensive tasks. It didn't sound that far off my Lenovo gaming laptop under similar conditions. I have been much happier with the 14-inch M3 Pro. While not as outright fast as the Max, it is for all intents and purposes silent while performing the work that I require of it.

Your reviews have always been appreciated, especially since you've also covered the Dell XPS. Glad to see a review based on real world use and not pushing the absolute top specs for benchmarks. Using both Windows and MacOS for work, this is my first MacBook. Especially with holiday deals, the 16" M3 Max 14/30 seems to be the sweet spot as the M3 Pro downgraded components from the M2 Pro. The 16/40 Max models are said to have more fan noise and throttle more easily and are probably overkill for most people anyways.

I have an M1 MBP 14" with a trade in offer for 820... I'm debating on the M3 Pro 14" or 16" Pro which spec'd out would cost roughly the same as the 14" ... wondering how much space it would take up in comparison any input?

Bru I have an M1 Max and is still kicking everything smoothly. I will never go back to Windows at all. No hate for those who can't afford it as of yet. But once you can, give it a shot. You won't regret it.

I need something to run 20 3d printers and a laser with fusion, multiple slicers, and light burn at once. My alien ware can kind of do it. I need serious gpu performance. Going to order one and hopefully it’s worth the tax write off.

I have a Lenovo Legion 7 pro with 64GB of ram and an RTX 4080. Beautiful 240hz screen. The batterly life makes it unusable. You might get 2.5 hours on battery gaming and the fans are so loud it sounds like a 747 taking off. It's just not even CLOSE to the quality of these machines. I don't touch my $3000 Legion at all unless I am gaming at my desk. That's it. Otherwise I am using the Macbook Pro and if I need something in Windows I just fire up a VM. I've been a WIndows/IT guy for 30 years and I am moving over to these machines full-time. Other than gaming, they are better in ever single way.

Hey, I know this is not related to this video, but I am not sure what tablet to buy! My price range is 600-700 max for EVERYTHING (including pencil/ accessories) I am a stem student in college and I am unsure what to get samsung or ipad for note taking! I have an android, but I am unsure what to buy! Most ppl have ipads. (I like 10in-12in screens)

I just changed over to Mac m3 max I’m so accustomed too all the fans constantly running on my windows pc sometimes when I’m editing videos on my Mac I will get up to get something to drink and I realize I can’t hear anything from my Mac i wonder is it running is it actually doing anything then I remember they have little men running around in their with slippers on so we can’t hear them
@minstrelca8 ай бұрын
m3 max like yours but 14 but since I wanted it smaller. I believe it "throttles" in wow in valdrakken sometimes, but I think I fixed it by using mac fans control to ensure the fans come on a bit but sooner. But overall it's amazing :)

I found something weird on the macbook pro m3 max while gaming! Atleast for wow. If you keep the max on standard resolution and ingame have 4k the game wont have steady 120fps! But if you put the resolution of the mac on mac resolution and then start the game it will have almost all the time a steady 120 fps! Super weird i dont have other games so can’t test on them
