    Pre-ordered the 14 inch M4 Pro with 14 CPU 20 GPU and 48GB memory with 2TB. Downgrading in size from 16 inch M1 Max 10 CPU 32 GPU with 64GB ram.

      Gotta ask… why spend the money on storage from Apple instead of an external?

    • @EmptikBestM
      @EmptikBestM 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Quite a bit faster, and not having to rely on external storage, which is an extra thing to carry around (he mentioned to travel around with). Travelling with external storage also means more things to take out at airport security, and some people just like having a lot of internal storage for those reasons. Anyways, I’m not one of them, as I ordered a 14-inch nano-texture M4 Max 16/40 48GB/1TB, arriving tomorrow

      ⁠​⁠@@EmptikBestM M4 Pro internal SSD is somewhere around 4-5 GB/s, whereas with newer Thunderbolt 5 external NVMe enclosures we could see over 7 GB/s
      internal storage is definitely more convenient though. more internal storage means having large files locally without using up a port 24/7 and fiddling with where to put down an external ssd when using a laptop on your lap, unmounting it properly, etc. I've never been to an airport where you would need to take out an external SSD, then again I don't travel to other countries much from the US. around here, it's either items larger than phones (laptops/tablets/cameras are common) or nothing at all (for newer scanners)

      I’ve been to 30+ countries and I’ve never had to take out my external drives. I am a video editor so I don’t have a choice but work with external drives. Different drive for different client, keeping projects and files externally away from the laptop so I can resume work any place, any time on any machine. So I ordered m4 pro with 512gb lol, since I only need internal storage for software.
