i completely had to ditch my 16in m1 pro and still just use my PC. It works on the max but crazy slow compared to just an I7 and 3070ti desktop

You bought a laptop thinking it would out perform a full sized desktop?

No i bought a laptop as a toy to mess around with. I have a 3070 laptop. 3070 desktop rig and a dual 3090 rig. The m1 render times are significantly slower for octane and AE on the m1 compared to the 3070 laptop. Not all workloads get hit so hard. But larger pipelines will eat away at the memory. Like the difference in my render times is nearly 3-4x. It’s just upsetting because the m1 was over 1k more than the 3070 laptop. The performance for my sled at 3.5k was just a lot of money to put in the table for what i felt were not the best returns. Just my personal experience.
