Hello

Looking to switch from windows to a mac, I do a lot of editing work with 4k 4:4:2 10bit footage Sony footage (.mp4). I work a lot in Davici Resolve and After Effects.

Currently looking at a few refurbished ones, specifically the:

1. MacBook Pro 16.2-inch (2021) - Apple M1 Max 10-core and 32-core GPU - 32GB RAM - SSD 1000GB
And
2. MacBook Pro 16.2-inch (2023) - Apple M2 Pro 12-core and 19-core GPU - 16GB RAM - SSD 1000GB

Unsure if i should prioritise the m2 pro chip or the 32gb on the m1 max chip for the work I do.

Any suggestions for different models are welcome, aswell as any questions :)!

Thank you
