Considering Apple is up to M3 Max, I didn’t expect an M1 MBP to blow me away in c/[email protected]

I don’t, I had parallels running FL Studio and the rest of the things I mentioned were on macOS (including photoshop)

I just looked at the specs here https://www.apple.com/macbook-air-m1/compare/?modelList=MacBookPro-13-M1,MacBook-Air-M1

It looks like the only differences are that the M1 Pro has 1 more GPU core and 100 bits more brightness than the Air and some other tiny things, otherwise they’re the same 🤔

Lol I kid you not I was referring to baldur’s gate 😆

And yes I do, I use Final Cut Pro at the same time as the other things I mentioned— so if you’re only planning on running premiere with office apps and baldur’s, all in macOS without parallels, M1 will be plenty. I’m sure m3 pro will do all of that quicker and be more future proof, so that’s a good choice too.

I figured I was buying a solid machine, but I didn’t know just how awesome the first gen silicon chip would be. If you’re interested in a new-ish MacBook but don’t know if M1 will be future proof, go for it.

I can run FL Studio (a DAW) in Windows 11 (parallels) while also running a demanding game, browser with multiple tabs open, and software like photoshop or Final Cut open in macOS all at the same time.

Blows my mind that all of this stuff can run simultaneously without even heating up the device. I have a 13-inch with 16gb RAM so im not sure how 8gb performs, but I imagine it’s still pretty impressive.

I’m so happy with this purchase, and basically just wanted to put it out there that M3 and M3 max chips probably aren’t necessary for 90% of people.
