I am primarily a stills photographer. I do a little bit of video work for some classes I teach, but I edit those in iMovie only and then compress in handbrake. I currently use a 27" 2017 i7 iMac, and my husband told me yesterday I can get a new computer as a mother's day present. I've been wanting a regular M1 Pro MBP, but with supply chain issues, I am thinking I will get a base model M1 Max sooner.
I currently have 40GB ram and a 1TB SSD in my iMac, so I would spec 32GB ram and also a 1TB hard drive in a laptop; if I choose the Max, that's a standard configuration. I really don't think that I need the Max, but the wait times are a couple of weeks shorter if I go for a base model vs custom. Other than price, is there an inherent disadvantage to me if I get the Max?
