Ordered an M3 Max MacBook Pro

Black MacBook Pro

I thought about it for a bit, but the boost in performance, and the doubling of the memory were really the key points that made it a decision worth making. So I ordered it. A new M3 Max MacBook Pro - Black, 128GB RAM, and 2TB storage (seems silly to call it a disk, or drive anymore). And the target delivery date is around the end of the month. Not bad.

After watching the Scary Fast announcement, it was clear that skipping the M2 Max was going to make this jump a much more significant one, and I was right. Also, there's nothing really wrong with my existing M1 Max MacBook Pro, but the doubling of memory, and 50% increase in speed is going to be something I will use every single day.

The new Space Black color looks good, and I'm sure it'll be just fine with regards to the fingerprints mentioned in so many reviews, and it'll be nice to see it next to my iPad Pro that's similarly dark... it should be a nice addition. 🙂
