Apple’s transition to its custom silicon has proved to be a gigantic leap in the industry. Sometimes all you need is a little nudge to move to the next level and this is exactly what Apple did in the industry. The new 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are very powerful and capable when it comes to the processing as well as graphics.

Lightroom still struggles to accommodate Phase One’s enormous 151-megapixel raw files, but the new Mac handled it much better than my older machine. A panorama merge of two shots took an excruciating 109 seconds on the Intel Mac; it was 3.2x faster on the M1 Max MacBook Pro at 34 seconds. Interpreting the raw files to generate full-resolution previews — the most common delay I experience in Lightroom — was 2.5x faster on the new machine.
