MacBook Pro with M3 Pro vs. M3 Max

EH21 — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 15:10:03 GMT

I'm considering a new MacBook pro and trying to determine if the M3 pro or M3 max is best for my use. Given the large price difference, if I don't need the max, I'd rather save the money. I work on highly detailed single family residential and duplex projects.

If anybody has suggestions based on their experience, please share!

See my reply in this M3 thread:

Because of the memory bandwidth difference between the (crippled) Pro and Max, and benchmark scores, the Max is a better and longer-term solution if you can afford it.

Hello, just came across your question and wondering if you ever upgraded and which Mac you ended up choosing?
