It's been long-anticipated, but this is my review of the M1 Max MacBook Pro. I'm a full-time composer, producer and musician, so this is definitely an investment for me, but I hope you get some insights into this laptop and feel a little more certain about whether this computer is for you.

My chosen spec is: 14" M1 Max with 64GB Unified Memory and 2TB SSD. Generally, I'd recommend: 16" M1 Pro with 32GB Unified Memory and 2TB SSD - I think this will be enough for most people.
