Apologies in advance but im new to post production. A few short films of just scoring and sound design but starting to take on full post sound gigs.

Whats a better choice? Pre-order the Mac Studio M5 MAX (18 CPU/40 GPU, 64gb, 2 TB) or MacBook with the same specs?

Will be working smaller projects now but as I scale upward, is there one that would be more future proof than the other.

Heavy plug-ins (BBCSO, Serum, RX) plus live synths and guitars, ADR and other vox too.

I appreciate y'alls opinions here bc people know this stuff here.

Looking to buy Monday.

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Just the main storyline. I needed to tell someone and y'all are the only ones who can appreciate it. Cant believe how long that took.

Thats all, thank you

Mid-2015 Retina. New battery via Apple.

Startup at 50°C.

Quickly ramps up to 80°

Stays in that range.

Would replacing thermal paste help?

Any ideas or suggestions are really appreciated.

Thanks

New here and just starting my collection over. Are there sites, stores you recommend? Ive jist been using Amazon or Criterion but curious if theres a go-to for anyone here. Thanks!
