I got the pro version of this. My cpu and gpu are barely utilized on the pro. The ram definitely made a difference for me.

I would strongly look at any software you are planning to run before spending extra on the max. It not only cost more but your battery will take a hit.

Give it a year, and your AI agents will have to fight for every single CPU tick they can get their virtual hands on.

Does anyone know how ram usage compares in PC vs Mac with apps like Lightroom or programs like Final Cut / Davinici? I have 64gb on my PC laptop and a good % of it is regularly utilized with photo / video editing. Are macs typically 'efficient' or similar-ish in actual usage? It seems like MacOS has been less ram hungry than windows in the past, but it's not an easy topic to research without actually just buying it.

It's pretty much the same, as someone who is a professional photographer/videographer and edits on both platforms. 64gb on a Windows desktop/laptop will still be better than 48 on a Mac.

i have 36gb on M4Max studio and it is not enough for max upscaling in Topaz Gigapixel AI. however it is enough for large 400 megapixel pano stitching. My pc's 64gb is enough for upscaling to max.

I've never owned anything Apple. Would this edit 4K 10-bit files in Resolve with color grading, de-noising, smart masks etc or should I look at a Studio? I don't shoot ProRes yet.

It would that and more.

Resolve is a good program. It's not really a question of rather or not it could do it. Even the air could do those task. The real question is how much faster do you need it done?

I find that Mac better utilizes ram. So 48 on a Mac would be nearly equivalent to 56 or so on windows. That is just my personal experience. Overall they'll be pretty similar.

Where it really shines for me is without hacking my os is how many things can I permanently remove from my computer. Am I forced into updates when I'm hoping to work? This is where I definitely prefer Mac.

But then other side you have some large companies that just refuse to properly develop their stuff for macOS. Even Bambu uses windows to apply auto fixes. If you are on a Mac they will prompt you to use windows for repair. There are ways around this but there are unfortunately pros and cons to both OSs.

I have the m3max 64gb version for work, and new employees are getting this exact m4max 48gb version. I don't believe I've exceeded 80% ram utilization with all the docker containers and llms and 80 tabs open.
