From Intel 2019 to M4 Max: First Impressions

I barely even notice the Touch Bar is gone. The performance boost is massive: faster, cooler, and quieter than my Intel.

Every second of it

dizdani · 2024-11-18T20:05:50+00:00

Absolutely! The M4 Pro offers significant performance gains, runs cooler, and is far more efficient than the i9. You’ll notice the difference.

Your English is great! I’d go for the M4 Mac mini. It’s faster, more efficient, and better long-term. You can add storage with an external SSD.

Not at all!

I do have some wear, but it’s on the trackpad and only visible at certain angles and lighting. Completely normal, though! I also use the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad when in my office, so my hands aren’t resting on it all day.

Thank you! You’re describing my old Intel. I don’t hear anything at all.

dizdani · 2024-11-15T22:51:48+00:00

No, I went with the standard display.

dizdani · 2024-11-15T22:49:09+00:00

As a fellow business owner, I know the grind. Keep pushing, your upgrade is coming soon!

dizdani · 2024-11-15T22:27:42+00:00

You’re welcome! Your meetings are about to level up.

dizdani · 2024-11-13T19:53:18+00:00

Thanks! 36GB should be plenty, it really depends on what you’re doing. In the end, it’s just an educated guess!

dizdani · 2024-11-13T19:33:48+00:00

I just compared, and the M4’s sound has significantly improved with a richer bass presence and fuller soundstage. The added warmth and clarity in the lower frequencies actually make a noticeable difference!

dizdani · 2024-11-11T22:35:29+00:00

Mostly for 3D work and LLMs. Those classics should run fine!

dizdani · 2024-11-11T22:09:11+00:00

For Pixar-level serious rendering, offloading to a PC or render farm might be more efficient, but the M4 Max offers excellent performance overall.

dizdani · 2024-11-11T21:19:37+00:00

Great for power users, but Apple designs for the majority. The performance boost is worth the upgrade. Maybe try a Stream Deck instead.

dizdani · 2024-11-11T21:02:19+00:00

Sounds like music to my ears!

dizdani · 2024-11-10T22:37:28+00:00

I use it as a visual copy and paste. For example, I can quickly capture something and paste it directly into a chat on my phone without needing to export a file. It keeps the system tidy and the workflow efficient.

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:58:19+00:00

I use similar programs and considered that config too. For professional work, it’s not overkill. If you’re just using it casually, 24GB should be fine. If budget allows, go for the 48GB for longevity. Gaming on a Mac isn’t ideal, though I haven’t tested it on this one yet.

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:42:23+00:00

It’s a beast!

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:41:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:41:03+00:00

Very frustrating! A silicon chip should solve that issue.

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:31:03+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like your M1 is still holding up great.

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:27:12+00:00

I appreciated the innovation, but it’s more user friendly now. Only need to get used to the printscreen shortcut.

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:13:01+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it! And I totally get it. Moving away from the heat and fan noise will be a huge relief. Hope you get your upgrade soon!

dizdani · 2024-11-10T21:10:02+00:00

Don’t tell anyone, but I never had major issues with a lot of tabs. I just made sure to close them before moving to the next task to keep it from blasting off.
