What RAM crisis? B&H Photo has up to $400 off Apple's most powerful MacBook Pros

For photographers, designers, content creators and other creatives who often work remotely in bright environments, this is our top pick in B&H's huge MacBook Pro sale. The 14-inch form makes it portable, while the Nano‑Texture Glass reduces glare, making it perfect for editing on location or in studios with strong lighting. 24GB RAM is ample for Lightroom, Photoshop and multitasking, while a 1TB SSD provides a decent amount of storage for large photo libraries.

Software developers or data analysts, or music producers who need more memory headroom but don’t require the graphics power of a Max chip are advised to consider this configuration. Packed with 48GB memory, it's ready to run multiple VMs, Docker containers or large DAW projects smoothly while still being compact enough for mobile coding or studio work.

A lot of video editors and 3D artists will want to consider a larger display (see below), but if portability is a priority, an M5 Max-chipped MacBook Pro 14 is crazy powerful for such a compact device. The M5 Max GPU cores plus 64GB RAM mean you can finally handle Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Blender projects smoothly, and 2TB storage has you covered for large video files and project assets.

For architects, engineers or digital artists who want a larger display, it's worth considering this nano‑texture glass version of the MacBook Pro 16 to reduce glare in bright light. With 48GB RAM, it can handle CAD software and multi-layer projects in demanding design apps, while 1TB storage balances cost and capacity.

For researchers, scientists, or financial analysts running heavy simulations or large datasets, upping memory to 64GB will usually be a worthwhile investment. The larger chassis of a 16-inch MacBook Pro provides the cooling needed for sustained workloads, while 1TB storage should be sufficient if you're storing datasets externally.

For high‑end film editors, VFX professionals or machine learning engineers, this beast is the ideal mobile workstation. With an M5 Max chip, 128GB memory and 2TB storage, it's kitted out to handle 8K video editing, VFX simulations in Houdini or for training ML models locally. The Nano‑Texture Glass means a greater ability to continue working comfortably even under harsh studio lights.
