[Mesa-users] Need your suggestion for switching from Linux to macOS

[RICHARD H D TOWNSEND]

Dear Amar —

The M3 should work fine (indeed, very well) with MESA — I have very positive experiences with M1/M2 machines running MESA.

Best wishes,

Rich

Now, I am planning to switch to a macOS laptop for my further MESA-specific studies; therefore, I need your kind suggestions on selecting one. I am planning to buy a MacBook Pro with an Apple M3 Max chip having 16-core, 40-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine.
