These are also still very fast when the memory is full.
I think for your usage listed the 512GB storage is overkill though. But since it is basically "free" on this deal, no problem.
If I had to pick between 512GB storage and 16GB of memory though, I'd select more memory.
These with Apple Silicon are awesome computers. The battery life truly is impressive and they are very fast.

Basically: I bought an open box 14 inch m2 Pro with 16gb RAM for $1760 a couple weeks ago… but then the 16 inch M1 Max with 32gb RAM went on sale for $2500 so I got that too, thinking I'd return whichever I liked less.
Problem is I like them both. I'm leaning toward the 14" for portability and form factor (just feels better on my lap, on the sofa, in bed etc), plus I have an external monitor if I ever want more screen real estate…the 1tb ssd on the M1 Max is nice but I think the 512gb on the m2 pro is plenty for me and I can always get an external hdd.
… but I've been stressing over the RAM. I feel like the 32gb will last me much longer and "future proof" the laptop more.
What would you do in my shoes? The $2499 deal on the M1 Max was a flash sale that I doubt will occur again any time soon - the lowest I've seen it go normally is $2799 - so my choice will definitely be permanent and that's why I'm so indecisive about it and can't make up my mind.
Think I just need someone to convince me that 16gb will be enough for my needs. I do plan to do some video and photo editing but probably nothing super duper intensive unless I begin doing a lot of 4k rendering.
