My current laptop literally started smoking yesterday while I was trying to render a simple project and now I am panicking because I have a massive 4K wedding video due in two weeks. I am stuck between getting the new MacBook Pro M3 Max with 64GB of RAM or the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo because that second screen looks so useful for my timeline.

I have about $3800 saved up and I am really worried about making the wrong call since this is basically my life savings. Is the Mac really that much better for 4K color grading or should I go with the Asus and save some cash for lenses? I need to order something by tomorrow night...
