The results of the comparison between the 2021 MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro with an Intel processor were surprising: In disciplines like SSD speed and video editing with Final Cut Pro, the M1 Max notebook literally raced ahead of the 15,000 Euro desktop computer, even in battery mode on the go. This is a dream for creatives and media professionals alike.
