Apple MacBook Pro 16",Apple M1 Pro Chip 10-Core CPU,16-Core GPU,16GBRAM,512GBSSD, Space Grey £1799.98 @ Costco online (Membership Required)

I can’t believe how great these M1 Pro chips are…exporting timelines on my high end PC would take 30mins at best for a 40min timeline , on these chips it’s taking 5 mins…mind absolutely blown and a huge time saver

Is there much difference between the M1 and M2 chips ?

Was mulling this deal over until I realised that for £250 more, you can get the same Macbook Pro 16" chassis but with M1 MAX processor, 32GB and 1TB drive from Very as a new customer on credit (20% discount) + potential TCB (8%).

Granted its still not cheap, but if you're already happy to spend £1800, another £250 isn't a great deal more for a much better spec. (edited)

My experience so far
I’ve got the 1Tb version of this, it’s alright but not worth the RRP money.
Pros: Fans never come on (silent), very well built, lovely screen, battery life
Cons: Sound very boomy to me - not enough top end no eq as with windows laptops disappointed when you read the hype of six speakers blah,blah,blah
Some Apps slow loading
Can’t record straight from sound card i.e. audacity has to pick-up from mics!
I use Ipads and love them. The sound is better on my Ipad Pro than this.

if Apple sorted the sound side of this it would be great (accept the slow apps loading) not sure why as seems fast enough when up and running, just loading.
PS Costco are great! (edited)

Too make everyone here aware, the price is down to £1700. You could probably update the price OP.

Either the 14” is more popular, or they mis-judged how many 16” they will sell. Costco seems to still have quite a few of these lying around in the warehouse (edited)

Anyway of upgrading the SSD, or are you screwed two years down the line when you realise what you have is not enough?
