[@greccoox]

still dont know why nobody cover mac mini m2Pro vs m4 base model, is 400euros difference and to me is the perfect comparison

I got u. If you care about aesthetics, or want the fastest thing M4 is better. If you don’t, M2 is cheaper save ur money and resale value

New sub here. Great channel. Would you be so kind as to answer a few questions. I mostly use Final Cut Pro & Photoshop to create videos on my Billy Luna Crime Stories YT channel. I am working in 1080p, but plan to start working in 4k. Currently I am Using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD (2TB & 4TB) to edit off whilst using FCP. I like to use Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and 40 web browser tabs open simultaneously. 1) For my needs, which exact configuration of the new M4 Mac Mini should I get? (Pro or no, RAM, SSD) This is the configuration that I have been mulling: $1,799.00 512GB SSD storage Apple M4 Pro chip with 12‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine 48GB unified memory 512GB SSD storage 2) What would the practical difference be when using Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and 40 web browser tabs open simultaneously if I just got the base M4 mac mini rather than the M4 Pro mac mini? 3) If I go M4 Pro what would the practical difference (for my use scenarios) be in upgrading from 24 GB memory to 48 GB? 4) Is there any speed or performance advantage in going with a 1 TB SSD vs 512? 5) Do I need to worry about fan noise when I’m recording on camera video or voice over with the M4 Pro mac mini? Thank you!

View Artisright. He's benched all apps (ie Lightroom, Photoshop, FCP, Capture One, Davinci Resolve using M1 through M4 base, Pro, and Max and will make recommendations based on use case. RAM is a priority upgrade to 24gb or more if you do a lot of video and photo editing work. 512gb SSD is min requirement. M4 Pro is see tangible benefits if you do video/ photo work day in and day out.
