Deal on a time machine?
I understand the significance of the 48GB RAM. But I haven't been keeping up with Apple stuff over the past year. And I'm about to get into the market for a new Macbook Pro. Am thinking of the 36GB M4 used off ebay.

With the M5 series, you have severe thermal throttling on the "passive cooled" (aka too-cheap-to-install-a-fan) M5 Macbook Air. It's great for casual brief tasks, terrible on anything that's sustained. Just moving to the 14" Macbook Pro w/ M5 (base chip) -- same specs, same cpu, but the MBP has a fan -- gives you an easy 20% performance bump and much lower thermal highs (all the while powering a graphically more intensive screen -- so it's not even a fair comparison with an Air).
Overall, a fan means you're not stressing the machine, since heat is the enemy of electronics.
Folks have also complained about an underwhelming experience at the highest performance side with the M5 Max Macbook Pros. They just don't have the higher end performance improvements over the M5 Pro chipset -- the M5 Pro is the "best bang for the buck". We probably are hitting the upper limits of the M-series without a major redesign and/or seriously improved thermal cooling.

I was stretching it with LM Studio and Draw Things until I got my 5090 box.
