Hi! Can You help mi choose?
I am using now base model MPB 13" M1 but I need to upgrade.
Most difficult task that I will do is video editing in Davinci Resolve. For simple edits even my old macbook is ok. But when I add some heavy effects like masks, stabilizers, color change etc. ... it's pain in ass...

Now at similar price there is:

  1. Macbook 16" M1 Max, 10‑CPU/32-GPU, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD
  2. Macbook 14" M3 Pro, 12-CPU/18-GPU, 18 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD

I watched so many benchmarks with different result and even it didn't answer my questions. I don't care if video will export 30s faster or slower. Most important thing for me is fluent playback while editing with some heavy effects.
I don't care about size, but M3 pro has a slight advantage in longer OS support. So which one will You choose?
