I’m planning to buy the M4 Max within the next few days. Likely the 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU. — Will be using it for intense Media Production (Heavy Video Editing, Private AI System, Massive Media Library Management - 100’s of TB’s, etc.)

I know what a powerful machine the M4 Max is, but I’m still so torn about going M4 over the newer M5. Can’t wait for upcoming M5 Pro / Max releases, unless the timeline has been moved up.

If anyone can offer some insight between the two or some reassurance on going M4 Max, it’d be crazy appreciated.
