Photographers looking for the best possible performance in a laptop should be looking at the 16-inch model of the Apple MacBook Pro M1 Max. Several things might not be obvious that are worth being aware of:
Fastest SSD Yet in the MacBook Pro M1 Max, but Will Apps Run Things Faster Because of It?
Only the 16-Inch Apple MacBook Pro M1 Max offers “High Power Mode” for Intensive Usage

If you invest $4K to $6K in a laptop, you might want to use it for up to 5 years, and this model is not boing to be slow by any metric even in 5 years, even if there are faster ones. So you might want to maximize its lifespan by making sure it can be repaired.
