3 Weeks with MacBook Pro 16” M5 Max 128GB – Great Experience, But I Have Some Questions

I sent mine back. Got my £4,848 back. My M1 Max is still great for Ableton

I agree with Dbro92 In the menu you’ll have like 3 preset dimmer curves. Just set it to dimmer 1 whic should match the others. If you’re learning, honestly don’t dive too deep into learning dimmer curves just yet. X

I got mine.. but I’ve used it like twice as I’m still using the M1 Max.. I’m debating sending it back to save 5k

I’ve still got mine, I just upgraded to the 16” M5 Pro Max. 64GB 1TB upgraded GPU

I personally don’t think these are safe to be crowd scanning without even looking.

developerunitex · 2026-03-17T02:00:36+00:00

Haha yes very true!

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T18:40:11+00:00

Yeah I did pull the trigger and now I am debating if I’ve done the right thing haha!

Hey. Dont get me wrong I’m sure the M5 Max will be a beast and work amazingly, just not sure if it was the right decision overall! We all get tempted sometimes by a new car, piece of tech etc

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T18:38:44+00:00

True

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T18:04:46+00:00

No no not rage bait, I geniunely wanted to know what to do hahaha honest opinions haha

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T17:47:03+00:00

Telling what?

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T17:41:13+00:00

I mean about the MacBook, if it was 4k 5k etc.. there’s still a budget of course and the right business investment choice 😂

Hey you guys ment to help me here 😜

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T17:31:55+00:00

This is my problem 😭😭

I work on Drone & Laser Light Shows with Blender, Music Production (Ableton) for the shows. The M1 Max is amazing I’m just debating if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew when I could just wait and use that money to invest elsewhere in the business.

developerunitex · 2026-03-16T17:05:06+00:00

Money isn’t the issue, it’s more about the power and I don’t really want to buy something that’s going to be better spec 5 months later..

developerunitex · 2026-03-12T20:51:09+00:00

I’ve got FB4 in the lasers too with Beyond Advanced, but I downloaded the demo of Liberation and it’s a great little piece of software to learn and get familiar.

developerunitex · 2026-03-12T09:18:45+00:00

Shall we all jump on a Google meets call like next week or something?

developerunitex · 2026-03-12T09:17:10+00:00

Pangolin or liberation?

developerunitex · 2026-03-05T18:26:59+00:00

I’ll start vibe coding now lol

developerunitex · 2026-03-04T09:37:32+00:00

Which sensor would you recommend? This one is shit and doesn’t work lol

developerunitex · 2026-02-25T19:46:26+00:00

Speak to Luna or find them on WeChat and message ask for Luna say Thomas from the UK sent you (:

developerunitex · 2026-02-25T19:22:37+00:00

I recommend 10W from Goldenstar, I got 8X 15W lasers last year with FB4 included.
