Macbook Pro

Hi Brian, 

Looking to upgrade my laptop wondering if the new MacBook Pro.

Apple M1 Pro Chip with 10coreCPU & 16 core GPU

16 GB unified memory 

512 Gb SSD is this enough to run photoshop and do it at ease, or should I be looking at increasing the 16GB to say 32, 64?

Currently shooting  with Canon5dIII but would eventually maybe upgrade to the 5R. 

 

Regards

Before we get into that stuff, what display are you considering? The new MBPs can not be calibrated with the current calibration devices as the screens are too new technology-wise and we need to wait for the next gen calibration tools. 
 

As far as HD space, 512 is just not enough. I still recommend at least 1TB at a minimum. With the M1 Macs, they are way more efficient when it comes to RAM, so 16GB should be enough. That said, when it comes to the M1 Macs, everything is built onto one big chip (CPU, Video, RAM, HD Storage) so you need to think 7-8 years ahead and choose the upgrade options now as there is no upgrading after the fact. Didn’t buy enough RAM for your $4000 M1 MBP? Too bad, you need to buy a whole new laptop to get more.
