BUYER'S GUIDE
Who it's for: 3D artists, VFX supervisors, film editors and ML engineers who want the largest display alongside the most powerful portable GPU Apple makes — the 16" M5 Max is the desktop replacement for creative professionals.
14" vs 16" M5 Max: Both share the same chip performance. Choose the 16" for the larger display and slightly bigger battery. Choose the 14" for portability without sacrificing GPU power.
36GB vs more RAM: 36GB handles most 3D, VFX and AI inference workloads. If you run very large LLMs locally or deal with 8K+ multi-layer timelines, consider 48GB or 64GB configurations.
Note on charger: EU/UK packaging does not include a power adapter. Budget for a 70W USB-C PD charger (96W for fast charging) separately.
