your mindset is all wrong..
this is a machine for professionals to get work done. It's not some toy you get cause you have money

To be fair, Costco just had the M1 Ultra Studio 64gb/1tb for 3200 and that's double the processing power of the M1 Max. If you don't need the screen and portability that was a superior deal IMO.

I scored an M2 max mbp from Best Buy open box with zero battery cycles for 2600 + tax a few weeks back, otherwise I'd have hopped on this deal.
I saw the deal on the Studio Ultra, but what held me back was the amount of storage for the price, which for my usage would've come to be an issue long before lack of multicore performance did. If it had 2TB of storage instead I probably would've pulled the trigger. Yeah you can swap stuff between the internal drive and external storage as needed but it's a nice quality of life upgrade to not have to think about it.

I can justify this beast because I still have unused B& H gift cards from youtube and the trade in on my macbook pro at costco is $975. Plus I need to spend some money on office stuff to write off on my taxes. this should future proof me for a few years.

Since when does Costco start a trade-in program?

They use Phobio like a lot of stores with trade-in programs.

Too bad these got thicker and heavier than the previous gen MBPs or else I would be all over this. My 2012 is getting long in the tooth but I can't justify getting a heavier and less portable laptop. Whoever designed these new machines' form factor needs to get fired. Wish Steve Jobs and Jony Ive were still around to make sure things were designed slimmer and sleeker.

Damn, one of these days, it's going to cost more than a car for an Apple laptop

Better cooling, incredible battery life etc for being a bit heavier is something most people are fine with it. You won't find a comparable laptop in a smaller form factor.

And if weight is such an issue for you that is the reason they make a 14" version and alternatively the air line laptops series

People might want to check the benchmark to see if they want this CPU.

Looks like the Apple M1 Max will not even beat the M2 Pro.
Correct me if I am wrong.....

If you have a legitimate need for this machine you probably don't care that it's on sale because you bought it back in 2021.

Nice machine, gorgeous screen.

It has fewer CPU cores than the M2 pro so it's not going to beat it in CPU tasks but you're getting the M1 Max for the improved GPU performance over the Pros. If you don't need that, then there's no reason to pay more for the reduced battery life on the Max.

Thanks for the information.
Yes, if I need that extra 4tb and 64 GB of memory then I will get this machine.
otherwise, a 4 TB drive cost us around 220.

I understand the memory cannot be updated on our own anymore on these Apple machines. Too bad for that, otherwise we can easily install that for 150 or so at Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2x...10ad0&th=1

Yes, when I do this math, I am trying to compare it with this https://slickdeals.net/f/16647713-costco-members-16-apple-macbook-pro-2021-m1-pro-chip-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-1500-select-stores-in-store-only?attrsrc=search%3Aterm%3Amacbook+pro%7Csearch%3Apage%3A1%7Csearch%3Aposition%3A13%7Csearch%3Aresult_type%3Athread%7Csearch%3Aresult_id%3A16647713&src=SiteSearchV2Algo

as this is 3200 and it is 1500+ 150 + 220 =1870 plus that extra GPU( updated after someone pointed out this) .
I think we will have to pay the extra 1330 for the extra GPU....( have to argue that I cannot update it on my own) then it is the Apple tax we have to pay for...

I edit the post as I found that Apple value the cpu diff to be 500:

Apple M1 Pro with 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU. as the base.
Apple M1 Pro with 10-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine – +$200--- the 16 inch laptop I am referring to is this.
Apple M1 Pro with 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine – +$300
Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine – +$500
Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine – +$700--- this laptop comes with.

I wish my employer can pay that for me Smilie

Internal vs external storage
LPDDR vs DDR
I don't think it gets extra CPUs….
