Great point. Others may have different opinions, but if you travel with any frequency then I think the 14" is the way to go. I much prefer to take the 14" machine along, compared to the 16" (work machine). It's lighter, obviously, but fits more comfortably in backpacks, on smaller tables, etc. Of course if you NEED the screen space for your work, then 16" it is .

Speaking of storage, since you mentioned 512GB versus the 1TB in this post. I thought I'd reiterate that these machines don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2!!

The Crucial X9 Pro and X10 Pro help to illustrate this. The X9 Pro supports "up to 1,050MB/s", while the X10 Pro supports "up to 2,100MB/s". On the MacBook Pro in this post (and others), you'll hardly see ANY difference between the two drives. Plugged in to a Windows desktop is when I see the X10 Pro reaching ~2,000MB/sec.


If you want to see speeds higher than ~1,000MB/s, you'll want to buy a Thunderbolt external SSD. Something like the SanDisk Pro-G40 (TB3). OR, buy a Thunderbolt NVMe enclosure (with NVMe drive, or supply your own). Something like the OWC Express 1M2.

Oh SH*T!! I just realized that I thought this deal was for the 14" 1TB/36GB M3 Max, which is what I bought last year. Major facepalm... That was a bit stupid of me. Reading comprehension fail.

Thank you for pointing this out! Repped. It's an excellent point, yeah. It's something that I noticed last year when deciding whether to buy. Thankfully the M3 Max has a memory bandwidth of 300MB/sec (at least in my case with the 14-core). The 16 core has 400GB/s ��. Not sure if that 50MB/s difference would be "make or break" for many, but still something good to be aware of.
Consideration for local llms but idk abt many other applications (pro graphics maybe?)

Excellent point, yeah. Agreed.


Probably application load times as well, and application responsiveness. But probably most noticeable for things like LLMs, as you said. Video editing perhaps as well. Anything where memory is being accessed really frequently.

Are they authorized apple seller? Meaning does apple warranty still apply?

It doesn't seem to say on the listing. Good price tho. Best MacBook for dev work.

Can always add external storage, but can't add another screen. So the 16 inch for $100 less wins IMO. Better thermals too.

I know what you're saying, but you can indeed purchase external portable screens (and of course full size ones). The portable storage is a LOT smaller than portable screens of course. I've had both and while I have a preference for the 16in screen and less thermal throttling, I hate the ginormous trackpad—and my 14in M1 Max is plenty fast even 3+ years later.

Jokes aside, sitting on an M1 Pro, and I'm waiting for that M6 Pro! Will be out in just another 18 months!

My M1 Pro will be four years old at that point which feels like a minimum upgrade time.

The 16" MBP is too large and heavy imo. More of a desktop replacement. Best of both worlds may be to get the 14" MBP and an external monitor setup if needed.

Agree! The M1 Pro is still too powerful for vast majority of tasks!! Apple over engineered their silicon.

I'm in the same boat. If you're not traveling a lot like me, I'm thinking of keeping it. That memory bandwith discussion of m3 pro vs m2 pro is whole different topic and can lead to endless discussion. I'm going to install vmware guest os on an external ssd. So, again if you travel a lot getting this makes sense as you can avoid carrying external drives for your storage needs.
