Hello everyone,

I’m contemplating about which Macbook Pro to get, since my old one from 2014 isn’t doing it for me anymore. I work in UI/UX design, which is what I am mostly gonna use it for. I probably wont do a lot of video editing - maybe some little clips I can add to case studies on behance or whatever, but no editing of entire movies - and also no crazy 3D stuff. Generally I probably need a MacBook that is fine with occasionally having multiple Adobe programs like XD, Illustrator and Photoshop running at the same time, as well as websites that might take up a lot of GPU/CPU. My current one is starting to get more and more overwhelmed with that, especially when I want to save documents.

There are the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips and maybe someone can tell me, what makes the most sense, because I don’t want to end up buying the M1 Pro and shortly afterwards realize that I should have went with the M1 Max. At the same time the M1 Max is “too good” and nit really necessary, so yea…maybe some can help

Thank you so much in advance!
