Hey everyone,

I’ve decided that im going to be purchasing a Macbook Pro this holiday season.

I’m not too familiar with Macs as I’ve come from Windows so not too good with their Chips and stuff.

I definitely want the 16 Inch MacBook Pro, but im not sure which specs to go for.

I definitely want the 16 Inch MacBook Pro, but im not sure which specs to go for.ey on thresholds I’ll never reach or even get close toh Pro I should get.

I was thinking of maxing it out and calling it a day but I don’t want to waste money on thresholds ill never reach or even get close to

Current Laptop Use/Usage:

8 hours per day, medium brightness, mostly Google Chrome, Excel, Google Sheets, Shopify, and YouTube. I am working for an e-commerce brand in their Marketing/Website department so im often on the Shopify website and on sheets like Google Drive, Google Docs, etc. I usually have around 25-30 tabs opened at once simultaneously. I am often downloading many pictures, videos, and designs. I only ever use Canva for anything art. I don’t do ANY editing (so no Photoshop, no editing tools, no rendering, etc). Just canva. I usually have 2-3 chrome profiles opened with each having 10-15 tabs. I also have to check YouTube many times as a lot of our material is unlisted on YouTube channels. I record videos with my camera and screen using Loom. Very importantly as well, im often importing lots of material, products, and pictures onto the company website in BULK. Often thousands of pictures, descriptions, variants etc, using CSV.

That’s pretty much what I use the laptop for only.

If I could get some help from any Apple/MacBook gurus as to what kind of MacBook Pro 16-inch I should get, I’d really appreciate it.

Not sure if I should get the M3 Pro, or M3 Max, what kind of SSD, ram, etc.

Thanks again!
