Is anyone using a mbp with M3 and multiple displays, modelling in 3D ?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Mine is an M2 Max with two external displays. Totally happy with the speed for all tasks. More than that, happy with how quiet and cool the MBP runs... rarely warm. (Our older Intel MBP, in comparison, has the fans blasting when multiple displays are connected.)

So, the M3 Max should be even better 😀

EDIT/UPDATE: I just re-read your thread from last year about how unhappy you were with the M2 Max:

I've not encountered anyone with experience such as you reported there...as the responders there said, something else had to be amiss.

cheers Karl,

It would be so very helpful if GS just did some annual comparisons each year with just to help eveyone.

Hi Jimmy, yes MBPro M3 Max is a real desktop replacement.

It runs smooth and very calm.

I use it with an Apple XDR Display in combination with an Apple Studio Display.
