Personally…I would go with 5K vice 4…the Studio Display I have is pretty awesome.
M4 Mac Anyone?

I didn't read what I wrote before I posted it. For clarification - the difference between my macbook air and the new pro is night and day. The difference is less pronounced between the studio and the new macbook - noticable, but nothing that would keep me from using my Studio still.I went from a M2 Air (stock config) to MacBook Pro M4 Pro w/24gb ram. In Lightroom there is a slight difference in performance - I'm guessing if I had opted for 48gb of ram it'd be even more noticeable, but for my planned 2025 workflow to work I need both machines. And it's not a huge difference or enough justifying me to change those plans. If they come out with an M4 (or M5) based studio next year, that may change my plans but as it sits, I am planning on keeping the Studio at my desk, and the Macbook for travel and editing situations where I'm too lazy to trudge out to my office. (Happens more than I will admit...)
Thanks…that makes more sense…and faster laptop which is my main machine outside of LR is better.
I bought a 2023 M2 Max with 32 GB of RAM in early 2023. I expect my next upgrade to be a few years in the future. Previous macs went 2010-2017 the 2017-2023. suggesting it could be 2029 before I see a new system.
