only reason for going for the max is if you need 32gb of ram it doesn’t cost that much more..
mind you do you need the 16” I find the 14” I have far lighter and not much slower…
I can't think of a reason why I need more than 16".
Not really considered the 14" but I'll pop into the apple store to see if I can get way with a smaller screen size

Apple MacBook Pro 16, M2 Pro or M2 Max cpu
My 2012 MacBook Pro retina has served me well. I am ok with the 30min battery life and busted left speaker only annoyance is lack of updates on office 365 or some apps requiring a higher Mac OS.
I'm not into video or audio processing and most database development software I run tend to be on windows/unix vm's hosted on another windows laptop or mini pc. Occasionally I have to run the vm's on by 2012 MacBook and speed seems ok .... when I don't know better.
Is the M2 Max an overkill compared to the M2 pro?Tags: None
