Its a beast
I just finally upgraded because I could not take having no more storage and running low on ram with my original M1 Pro 16gb/512gb. Running benchmarks puts me at nearly 2x-3x the power in both cpu and gpu from my previous machine, and I am so happy to have 2TB of storage that I have been able to finally replace my windows laptop with a VM in parallels so I only need my macbook now. I mostly do web/app development with occasionally doing game development, 3d cad modeling, video editing, car tuning with windows vm and also play some games when I am on the go or want to be on the couch. It simply handles everything and really makes it seem like I could just keep going and do everything at the same time, only thing I would be hesitant to do on this spec is run my own local LLM but I wasnt very much interested in that to begin with. Purchasing online, I was able to price match to apples education discount and pick it up locally, which saved me having to drive 2+ hours away to my closest apple store and I still qualified for an extra member bonus so all around I am super happy to support my local store where I used to work all those years ago! Also, silver is the color to get, space gray and black used to be my favorite but something about the classic silver just looks better these days!

MacBook Pro m5 max 18/32 cpu/gpu
It’s a beautiful computer, lots of power for just about any level of work needed. It does get warm, keep an eye out for throttling. Benchmarks aren’t quite as good as advertised, but still very impressive. As always, Best buy customer service was great and worked with me on price matching!

Incredible Speed for 3D Work
The speed in this laptop is insane. I use my computers for 3D modeling and rendering. For Blender, the M5 Max is as fast as a 5070 Ti desktop GPU, which is honestly mind-blowing. CPU work like simulation is also very fast. I think Apple has finally destroyed the competition in the hardware department. This is great if you know your specific software works well on MacOS.
