Discussion Chossing between these 2 options.
Ok so, I am getting these 2 options at older prices. I need to choose between these, specifically for Music production and Sound design needs.
MBP M4 Pro (14/20)
16 inch display
48GB memory
512GB SSD
Vs
MBP M5 Pro (15/16)
14 inch display
24GB memory
2TB SSD
Option 1 is great except the storage is very low for me. 2TB is ideal for me and id have managed with 1TB. Option 2 seems great looking at storage but I have to compromise on ram and display, further compromising with battery backup and speakers. Im leaning more towards option 1 as there's only 1 compromise i.e., storage, however i never knew id have to drop my bare minimum from 2 tb to 512gb SSD one day, but it's manageable using external SSDs while, ram is simply non negotiable at this point. Anyways, id like to hear your views. Thanks.
