$2,499 and then $200 off using code APINSIDER. This code also gives you $80 off AppleCare+.
$2,299 is the lowest price I have seen for a new M1 Max with these specs. Note it is the 24 core not 32 core M1 Max if that is important. Previously it was posted on SD for $2,599 about a month ago.
Supercharged for pros.
The most powerful MacBook Pro ever is here. With the blazing-fast M1 Max chip - the first Apple silicon designed for pros - you get groundbreaking performance and amazing battery life. Add to that a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, the best camera and audio ever in a Mac notebook, and all the ports you need. The first notebook of its kind, this MacBook Pro is a beast.
• Up to 3.7x faster CPU performance
• Up to 13x faster graphics performance
• Up to 11x faster machine learning
• Up to 21 hours battery life
Pro to the Max.
M1 Max - Scary faster.
M1 Max is the most powerful chip ever created for a pro notebook, with 10 CPU cores, up to 24 GPU cores, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It delivers two times faster graphics processing and double the memory bandwidth of M1 Pro. And it has a dedicated media engine for decode and two for encode - with up to two times faster video encoding - and two ProRes accelerators for even higher multistream performance.
• 10-core CPU
• 24-core GPU
• 64GB of unified memory
• Up to 400GB/s memory bandwidth
• Support for four external displays
• Up to 7 streams of 8K ProRes video playback
M1 Max scale the amazing M1 architecture to new heights - and for the first time, they bring a system on a chip (SoC) architecture to a pro notebook. Both have more CPU cores, more GPU cores, and more unified memory than M1. Along with a powerful Neural Engine for supercharged machine learning and upgraded media engines with ProRes support, M1 Max allow pros to do things they never could before

GPU Performance

We can do this all day.
Ferocious performance with game-changing battery life - that efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. A single charge lets you compile up to four times as much code in Xcode or edit images for up to twice as long in Lightroom Classic. And unlike other notebooks, MacBook Pro delivers the

(this is sarcasm) I have been instructed by the apple mafia of slickdeals to report that the best macbooks to buy are always the ones with the lowest ram because apples now have infinite memory thanks to unified memory architecture and therefore this macbook is not a good purchase

Interesting, when I had 8GB M1 I was always getting memory warnings, and it was slower than the 16GB. Now that i have 16GB its much faster, but i do have a cache in the SSD that is being used. The SSD will wear down with more writes/reads. So if you want to keep that quick I would imagine having more ram would do the trick. I use google sheets a lot and have multiple tabs I keep open. The more i can store in memory the better. I would love to test out the 64GB for that purpose.

I would venture to bet that you won't see a noticeable performance difference however, just maybe the data would already be loaded on multiple browser tabs. So it is a decision of how long you are going to keep the laptop. If you are going to keep it for a year, go with 16gb, but longer and want to maintain SSD life, go higher GB.
