If M1 Pro manages RAM better than the Intel-based i9 MacBook Pro and fits your needs, why bother to pay a pretty penny 💸 to M1 Max?
I performed an honest comparison between the 16GB M1 Pro and 32GB i9 MacBook Pro using real-world examples and ZERO benchmarks. (I think other youtube videos have already covered enough benchmark results)
The result shows you don't even need M1 Max in order to get a smoother experience that the high-end i9 model failed to deliver.

This is the 1st part of the video that focused on comparing the screen and video editing experience. I also spotted a compatibility issue when using a Logitech wireless mouse.
Here are some things I didn't mention in the clip:
1. MagSafe charger connects tighter than before so you still need to be careful the cable gets dragged accidentally.
2. The foot stops below the chassis are more slippery than previous gen MacBooks. You might want to place the laptop on a flat surface to prevent it from falling off.
3. I notice the notch less than I thought when using the machine.
FYI, This 4K 60FPS video has a length of 9 minutes and the M1 Pro took 9 minutes to export. During the process of exporting, I heard ZERO fan noise and the machine stayed all-time cool.
I hope you found this video helpful in choosing the right machine and for saving your money for good.🍀
