Going from a 2018 i9, 32GB, 1TB, 15" with discrete graphics to a 2021 M1 Max 10-core, 64GB, 1TB, 16" with 32 GPU cores.
Oddly enough, the price for those two machines is/was the exact same, down to the dollar.
I have a feeling the machine is overkill for what I need but I run 4 monitors and so the Max was the only option, the rest of the upgrades were because I wanted to see how my workload would fare on such a beast. Maybe my next upgrade won't be so high-specced but I couldn't pass up 64GB of ram. I'll be using the machine for web (front and backend) and mobile development.
