#2I bought the 14 inch 10 core with 32gb ram upgrade. Using it for coding. I am replacing my current 13 inch i7 with it. I got the 16 inch i9 but it’s pretty heavy and not so portable so I picked the smaller model to upgrade.

How much storage did you get? I am thinking of 1Tb, but aren't sure its future proof enough.

#4Replacing my 2012mbp with a 14” new MBP 16gb.
I think I got everything base except the faster charger. Anything is going to be absolute light speed compared to my old one.

#5Ordered the mid-range 16" 32G/1TB M1 Pro MBP.
For software dev, don't see a lot of need for the M1 Max. Def. need the 2 4-6K monitor support, which is poor in recent MBP's (overheating).

#8Replacing a 2019 16" (i9-2.3GHz, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD) with 14" with M1 Pro 10cpu/16gpu, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD.

#9Decided on the 16" M1 Max. Debating rolling the dice with shipping delays on upgrading 64GB mem or simply picking up the default configuration in store next week...

#10Going from a 2018 i9, 32GB, 1TB, 15" with discrete graphics to a 2021 M1 Max 10-core, 64GB, 1TB, 16" with 32 GPU cores.
Oddly enough, the price for those two machines is/was the exact same, down to the dollar.
I have a feeling the machine is overkill for what I need but I run 4 monitors and so the Max was the only option, the rest of the upgrades were because I wanted to see how my workload would fare on such a beast. Maybe my next upgrade won't be so high-specced but I couldn't pass up 64GB of ram. I'll be using the machine for web (front and backend) and mobile development.
