As many of us do, I have a habit of trusting others opinions over my own. If people believe in something so strongly they're willing to assert their opinion I tend to lean in their direction of belief. THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE when it came to using Windows the majority of my life ( I'm now 42). Given windows does the job perfectly well ... Most of the time... But Windows can be very frustrating. Especially if you grew up in my generation ( 1980's kid). The constant switch and change to the styles, formats, and innovations has slowed my professional production down considerably. Yesterday I purchased my first MacBook for personal and business use. I am absolutely mind-blown on how powerful this marvel of technology is. Given, it is only been 24 hours, but in those 24 hours I have accomplished more productivity than I have in the last month and a half. The visuals are out of this world. I've seen a lot of comparisons on a lot of different visual display units but this tops even my television. I cannot believe how clean and crisp and vibrant the colors and images are, it's amazing. The speed of the magnificent MacBook pro is unreal. I previously purchased a Microsoft studio 2 laptop (latest model, 16 gig RAM, 500 plus gig storage). Given the Microsoft computer was absolutely amazing in build and design design. I honestly miss the feel of it and how techy it looked. However, it couldn't handle a fraction of my workload and I spent most of the time just trying to figure it out. Please keep in mind, this is after a lifetime of using this software and very similar hardware. I can't believe how easy it is to transition to Mac. Unless then an hour I was flying along. For my job I have to work quickly and have many apps open all at once. On top of this i am online constantly loading documents, videos, images. I can have an uncountable amount of windows open in both documents and online pages and this thing doesn't even slow. I kid you not the second you click a button as fast as you can blink you are onto the next job. With all the different touch pad shortcuts I swear this thing is the bohemoth. I don't think I'll be buying another computer for at least 8 years. Thank you Best buy and thank you Apple! Also a shout out to Daz The Best buy manager in Pensacola Florida. Super knowledgeable and very patient a with Gen x middle-aged man like me.

The MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip redefines performance and efficiency, offering blazing speeds and remarkable battery life. Its enhanced processing power handles intensive tasks effortlessly, making it ideal for professionals. The display is stunning, providing vibrant colors and sharp details. Despite its price, its capabilities justify the investment, making it a top choice for power users.

The design is appealing and sleek. However, the performance and reliability is definitely worth the investment. This unit replaces my last MBP which is over 10 years old and still performs well. If you’re on the fence, I say give it a try but utilize Best Buy pricing. My purchase was only possible through Best Buy sales events/offers that seem to occur regularly and not just holiday sales events.
