If you use a Mac for work and graphic intensive stuff, get these new ones, whichever you choose, you will not be disappointed. Although it probably will not be any faster for my current workflow, it should last longer than the Pro, plus, I've been wanting to start getting back into video editing and the Max seems like the machine to get me there. Both laptops had 16GB of RAM and were hooked up to an Apple Pro Display XDR. I know this is not much help but I wanted to assure you there are no hardware incompatibily issues that could prevent those software from launching. ![]() That being said, I think I've decided to send it back and get the M1 Max. The benchmarks were run on 13-inch MacBook Pro laptops, one with an M1 processor and the other with an Intel Core i5. Illustrator runs via Apples dynamic binary translator called Rosetta 2 and Photoshop runs natively on the new Macs with the M1 chip since version 22.3. ![]() I can't believe how fast this thing is, finally, a machine that can keep up with what I'm trying to do. Opened a few files in photoshop, again, no waiting. None of that "Preparing" stuff has been happening, it just starts saving. Even with file saves, I used to get a "Preparing to save" and then it would save the file in the background. Everything that I try to do in Illustrator is instantaneous. I think I saw a spinning beach ball very briefly one time. ![]() Coming back to post my observations: Been working with the new M1 Pro with 16GB RAM this morning and I can't believe it.
