A: You cannot actually upgrade a machine you have to order it with the 64gb. This machine's internal components cannot be upgraded.
Q: will bestbuy be selling the M1 Max chip wtih 64GB memory and 4TB hard drive?
A: Most likely not as bestbuy usually tends to keep configurations that sell the most vs those that are higher end/custom orders. You will most likely have to go to apple or a different store.
Q: Can you add another SSD, or are you stuck with only 1TB?
A: At the moment, even the standard setup with “only 1TB” is hard to come by and on backorder! So, though special orders of 2, 3, & 4TB drives are possible, it’ll be a while in coming. Initially, I wanted a 2TB Drive, but when I saw that by adding it, I’d have to wait an extra month(!!!), I went for 1TB! On the plus side, that saved me $400, which I’m putting toward more cloud (which was already becoming a necessity), a few USB-C thumb drives (which I kinda needed to get anyway), and possibly another external drive. And that still leaves me with some of that $400 left! :-)
A: This computer is doing great. I am editing music and 4k video from my go pro. I found that the more memory the better. 32gb definitely better than 8gb or 16gb for multitasking. Not overheating at all. I have not been able to overload a video/music editor yet so I am not sure how far you have to push it to see any slow down. This is the most capable computer I have owned.
A: Most likely not and you will probably have to go to apple for that.
A: I use both Illustrator and Photoshop and it’s lightning fast. Large images open almost instantaneously.
A: I believe and understand that Best Buy does provide discount to certain profession and branches. They also do price match. Always good idea to chat with them to double check
A: If you haven't looked, the ProBook 16 is ready to order with 32GB MAX 1 card..

The MacBook Pro 16” with the M1 Max chip is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. It handles everything I throw at it—from intensive video editing to running multiple demanding applications—without breaking a sweat. The 32GB of memory and 1TB SSD ensure smooth multitasking and lightning-fast storage access. The display is stunning, with vibrant colors and incredible brightness. The ProMotion technology makes everything feel buttery smooth, and the speakers are some of the best I’ve heard on a laptop. Battery life is also impressive, lasting me through long work sessions without needing a charge. However, the reason for four stars instead of five is the price. While you get top-tier performance, the premium cost might not be justified for everyone unless you need this level of power. Also, it’s a bit heavier than I expected, which can make it less ideal for frequent travel. Overall, if you need a machine for professional-level tasks and can justify the investment, the MacBook Pro 16” is a fantastic choice. Just be prepared to pay for the performance.

This MacBook is amazingly fast. Editing multiple 4K timeline projects is a breeze in DaVinci Resolve. I came from a 13” M1 MBP and this screen real estate & XDR display hands down gave me a better experience. It’s nice not having to be next to an outlet while completing projects. The battery performs amazingly well while editing and crazy when just utilizing it for normal use. Only gripe I have was how poorly Bestbuy packaged this. There was one 8 part air pack in a box way to large. There were indication of it being dropped which am lucky Apple does a great job boxing it’s products.

i use this computer for everything! i am a graphic designer and when i tell you this computer has horse power it really does. i can use all Adobe programs, including 3D programs such as Blender & Rhino. i’ve been using this computer for the past 6 months, and as a design students it’s been working through programs like Adobe Aftereffects like nothing. I haven’t even heard the fans kick in once. Highly recommend this for any designers out there, as i have enough RAM to keep programs from closing and so much storage to last a long long time, especially since i offload into an external hard drive. this is my experience coming from using a Macbook Air 2017 model.
