10/21/2021, 11:38 PMI went with M1 Pro because it’s plenty for what that laptop will be used for. the most intensive stuff it’ll be doing is Photoshop, and maybe some light video work. I think M1 Max is more for heavy video editing, or 3D rendering, etc

10/21/2021, 11:42 PMI remember long ago when laptops could give you like 8-12 hrs of battery. and then one day, it was like 3-4 hours..and I’m like, “how is this impressive??” 😄

10/21/2021, 11:44 PMMy MBP 2019 is at 76% battery health and still gives me 5+ hours of battery life with a local k8s cluster always running. It’s so funny. Switching to m1 is like getting high availability for the hardware lol. 😂
