I am in the same boat. my exisitng Asus laptop is starting to fail because I don't have enough RAM and it's time for an upgrade. I've always has a PC, but am considering a MacBook Pro as I've been told that it's great for graphics. This is what Apple told me I need to get based on the X16 requirements. Is this similar to the M4 that you purchased @designergy? 16-inch MacBook Pro
