I have owned a 14" M1 max MBP, 64GB, 1TB since November 3rd. It is the best laptop I have ever owned. I use it at home and work where I use Adobe CC to create videos, graphics, and photo editing. This has been the first small laptop I have owned that can out pace my desktop which is a Windows 11 AMD Threadripper, GTX 1080, 64GB and several SSD's. The M1 MBP is just plain fast fast fast - did I mention fast?
I maxed out the specs when I ordered to hopefully future proof it for at least 3-5 years. As videos become higher in resolution the demand on the computer has increased requiring more computing power. This is the first laptop that I have owned that handles 4K with no issues - smooth and fast.
Oh, and battery life is also insane. All day use is not an issue. Unless I am encoding, which eats the battery, it will last all day and then some. Best battery life I have every had.
Um... can you tell I love my 14" M1 max MBP? So said, I highly recommend it!
