I've also been hearing nothing but rave reviews of the newer M1 Max machines, and with their dedicated Prores/h264 encoders/decoders, it seems like they can give even a machine with a powerful eGPU a run for its money (and beat it in lots of areas too). And paired with a powerful eGPU (and even without) it seems to work very nicely in Resolve. I recently picked up the last of the Intel Macbook Pros for a series I was working on over in the Middle East (the 16" with the powerful 5600M GPU), and it's very capable - with a healthy processing advantage over the old 12-core 5,1 Mac Pros I used to use, and almost equivalent to the base 8-core 7,1 Mac Pro (in Geekbench CPU benchmarks at least). And I'm wondering what people think the state of play is at the moment? I'm pondering the possibilities of using a Macbook for grading work at the moment (something that seemed pretty unfathomable to me until about 2 years ago).
