M1Max 32/32/1 Base model vs. CTO

[Jára Tyky]

Can you please post if your M1Max is base model or CTO?
You will know it from bottom of the box. Base model has black title M1Max 32GPU 32GB RAM 1TB while CTO has nothing.
I got new M1Max from local store and not understand why they sell CTO instead of base models.

I think base model is more stable and powerful because my CTO model shows little bit lower score in benchmarks. Is it possible?

Not likely. Hard to see any reason that would be the reason for lower scores. Did you do your benchmarks after indexing was over, after restarting, with all other programs shut down?

How I know that indexing is done?

I haven't checked on how to do it in Monterey, but I think one way is to check Activity Monitor and see if Spotlight is using a lot of CPU. (Used to be you could search "indexing" in Spotlight and it would show a progress bar while indexing.) It's something done automatically for new machines.
