i’ll be buying the maxout 64gb 2 tb version. my current MBP15 sometimes struggles sometimes whit large photoshop files(20gb multi layered 10kx15k pixels PSD’s) when you have that many adjustment layers/masks etc any brushing cloning you do then asks the graphics card to do all the adjustments on the pixels you have just pushed around and you start to get brush lag. had a few ‘cannot do that dave your scratch disks are full’ and a few times had to go make a cup of tea while it does something.
i still think 3-4k is cheap, you sell the outgoing laptop for 600-900 plus i get the vat off which means over 3 years of ownership it costs me a day and a half of work to pay for it.
from a business point of view it would still make sense if it was double the price, a hot rodded mac mini would make even more sense as i mostly am sat in front of an Eizo but they will not be out for a while yet.
there must be loads of users like me where any speed you gain actually makes you more money and more productive.
Mr_Smyth-

This. Anyone complaining about the price is someone who just uses it to watch Netflix and browse FB etc.
As a business tool for creative professionals, where render time is paid time, it's a no brainer.

Yeah, I'm not saying nobody has any use for a high spec machine.
But I asked Corny
'What do you do that needs that sort of spec - or is it just trying to future proof?'
And he said it was mainly future proofing. So I inferred he didn't need the spec today.For those that need a high spec now then sure.

Presumably that's the 64GB RAM, 2TB version?

If the latter then would make more sense to buy the entry level one and then sell it in 2yrs and upgrade to the next iteration of the entry level one, then do the same again a couple of years later. You'd spend the same (/less) overall.
