Thank you! I really appreciate you revising the thread. This helps!

Thank you!

Howdy! I need to order a bag to safely transport my new 16” MacBook Pro and large Wacom Tablet and accessories for constant travel. I’d love to get it right on the first try, so seeing what recommendations there may be.

Thank you!! This was very helpful. We ended up settling on a model (Pro, M3 max chip, but 48GB rather than 64). If it lasts me a few years, it buys time until I can purchase my own. I appreciate your advice to help me land!

My Mac finally flipped me the bird, so I’m getting something new. I edit photo and video for work and for a side photog gig. Portability is key. Time is of the essence as I have 3 jobs to edit for my side gig. I was prepared to purchase the MacBook Pro with all the specifications Brian outlined and then found out if I get a MacBook Air or maaaaaybe a much less powerful Pro my job will purchase through their account. So my question is…do I get something less powerful to avoid paying out of pocket (a bill that I really can’t afford to take on but will if I must) and get something less desirable or just buy the good stuff myself and suffer financially? And if something less expensive (and for work it must be Mac), how much less of a machine can I get and be able to do my editing work for at least the next couple of years? Thanks!!!!!!
