I've been complaining for a while about my M1 MacBook Pro with 8gb RAM(plus the stupid touchbar). It still has a lot of life left in it, but 8gb was never enough, especially when running a program like Lightroom and trying to do anything else in the background.
My wife's 2015 MBA is on its last legs, so I finally bit the bullet and got something that should last me as a main computer for a while-and what I'd have bought when I bought the M1 if it had been available.
I opted for a refurb 16" M1 Max 1tb/32gb. Ideally I'd have liked to spec 64gb, but you're at the mercy of refurb availability. Basically I ended up at the M1 Max because the improvements for what I plan on doing have been incremental.
Overall, I'm excited about what the 16" form factor offers, including getting rid of the touchbar and the return of Magsafe. I'm not wild about the notch, but most people I've talked to say you get use to it(and I did on my phone). Battery life should be on par with if not better than my M1(18 hours rated for the M1, 22 hours for the M1 Max). As long as it's at least as good I can't complain-my M1 already can easily go all day.
It should be here tomorrow.
