M1 Max MacBook Pro Review

Hey all,

I've been quiet for a while, the pandemic's really done a number on my photography opportunities. I've also had a career change too, which is working out pretty well. So I've had to find other ways to keep myself occupied. One of them is starting a new blog/podcast. It's generally about retro and modern computing. Maybe there'll even be camera stuff, but it's largely focused on computers.

I did buy one of the new M1 Max MacBook Pros (to replace a butterfly keyboard model) and wrote an extensive review (11,000+ words). The design, size, weight, and such are topics of discussion, along with the screen (how it looks and calibration discussion) and performance too. Lightroom was tested, and the a99ii is the star of course.

There's lightroom comparisons between it and my 5950x/3080TI PC workstation as well. I may do a more photography-focused followup in the future but for a general review I didn't want to get too far in the weeds.
