I have been having a blast throwing everything I can at the MacBook Pro 16-inch M2 Max, and at first, it was a challenge even to awaken the fans in this thing. Being a content creator on every level since the mid-2000s, first shooting footage with an old Canon mini-dv cam that I could plug into my laptop and edit my low-res videos, it's been quite the journey to where we are today. I currently shoot footage with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K, which creates large BRAW files that many laptops struggle to edit.
It can be anything from sputtering performance while cutting clips over a minute long or when you zoom into your timeline to get an exact cut, things will start getting choppy as the GPU and CPU struggle with the high-res footage. This slows the editing process down quite a bit and can affect the quality of your content.
