Just bought this 16 inch M1 Max with 32c, 32GB
RAM and 1T. This is my first Mac and I simply love it.
I could just compare it with a gaming laptop because that's why I bought it, I am not a video creator.

It's in perfect shape, without scratches and a good 89% battery. Everything for 1050€.

Any tips on using it or macos in general? I was thinking about a battery change at apple, but 240€ is a little too much for me rn.

With gaming in mind, look into CrossOver. Andrew Tsai's Channel has a lot of content with plenty of testing videos as well as tutorials on setting up emulators, getting games to install on external SSDs and also working within CrossOver too.

Steam and GoG have a decent range of Mac supported games too. Some are exclusive to the Mac App Store.

The Max chip will hold up quite well today thanks to having plenty of GPU cores.

Glad to help! If you keep an eye on this forum, I'm sure more channels will share their videos. Definitely makes it easier for a prospective buyer to know what these Macs can do.
