I was going to get an M4 Pro, but I ordered the M4 instead. I already know I’m going to order the Mac Studio upgrade in June. The M4 is just a bridge that offers significant improvements over my current M2 in the meantime.

[@DennisADeschamps]

This is the reason I bought the Mac Mini M4 Pro with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 64GB unified memory, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI port, two USB‑C ports, headphone jack staying with the 512GB SSD storage trading in a Mac mini M2 Pro with 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 64GB unified memory, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, four Thunderbolt/USB-C ports, HDMI port, headphone jack staying with the default 512GB SSD storage that I currently have and use. I custom ordered this configuration to future proof myself and have yet to try it since I have not yet received the computer which I should receive sometime in early December. Since I am not a graphic designer, photographer, 3-D artist, video editor, I will test the M4 Pro using Adobe Acrobat Professional where I create fillable forms and scan all of my paper documents into digital documents, Oracle VirtualBox for running MS Windows, dabble with photos that I have in Affinity Photo and also stream TV shows and movies

[@nuggyfresh6430]

Wait you literally didn't need that machine at all but you paid 3-4x the base unit to "future proof"? That is the worst possible idea. You could have bought THREE base units over 9 years (1 unit every 3 years) and had infinitely- 2x better computer in just 3 years and probably 4x as good a computer in 6 years, all spending the same or less. You got played my man.

[@zachwarner7164]

I'm using a studio display and 2 1440p on either side. My base m4 idles at 10-13gb "window server" us uses a ton of resource. M4 pro handles the displays better, from sleep to monitors on is quicker, clicking in tabs with videos running resumes the render quicker, it just feels a bit more capable. At the same time, the base m4 actually has a higher clock speed, so single core stuff is genuinely faster on the base m4, the minute you need more cores in the fight, it's no close. When creators say, "it's great as an everyday machine" they are referring to the same usecase as an iPad, the m4 iPad Pro has the exact same spec as the base m4 Mac mini. Ultimately, do you want an iPad level of compute, or more. Coming from m4 iPad Pro, it felt weird to have the same compute in a desktop. I'm leaning towards the pro for that reason.

[@hakeemawbrey8571]

@ lol I’m using 2 studio displays on base Mac mini and it’s perfectly fine for all kinds of video editing and more that I do. But your experience is completely valid, when that third screen comes into play it seems to be really taxing, what your usecase for 3 screens?

[@zachwarner7164]

@@hakeemawbrey8571 frankly im just used to it, but now knowing 3 is where the problem lies, i may just move to 2. main display is x/youtube, left is activity monitor/mail/msg/spotify, right is any long form content, or spare desktops with inactive tabs i need to get back to. basically i got this machine so idont need to use my 7800x3d/strix 4090 for everyday use....thats nutty. 55w TDP and tons of compute is perfect for every single other thing but gaming. For whatever reason, i cant sell myself on 16gb of ram for future proofing. the only way it makes sense, for me, is if this were a stop-gap to the m4 studio

[@DennisADeschamps]

Reviewing the Mac Mini M4 Pro as the Mac Mini of choice is a no brainer. Future proof yourself. Since Apple doesn't really have interchangeable parts, it just makes sense. Adding $200 extra for 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, $600 extra for 64GB unified memory, $100 extra for 10 Gigabit Ethernet may be high in cost but in the long run be $$$ well spent. I pretty much did myself good future proofing purchasing a Wi-Fi 6 router when 802.11 ac/Wi-Fi 5 was still around, purchasing CAT 7 now CAT 8 cables over CAT 5/5E/6/6A cables, purchasing a 1Gbps cable modem so that I don't have to pay ISP Cable Modem rental fees. Therefore future proofing is what this about and buying a computer that meets your work flow, to also review, is important.

I have been upgrading from Mac Pro 3.1 2008 Frankentosh 2.8 x8 core duo with PCI M2 SSDs and Nvidia 1050Ti that worked just fine until the power supply unit died. I first picked M4 mini but then realized that 256 to 512 Gb SSD upgrade looked like a steal (by Apple), same as the RAM upgrade. So I took the M4 pro base. I hope that it will do it's purpose for the next decade or two.

[@shavockiphea]

Question for you. I have an M2 MacBook Air (512/16 specs). Do you think it would be a worthy upgrade to the m4 base model? I do light video editing and that is handled from an external drive so I haven’t really touched the internal storage much at all. Oh and….🐬

[@Michaelpalomataoneaperture]

As any of tech on the market now days it really depends on your use cases. Most people will be happy with based model Mac mini M4 for daily light task. But for future proofing I opt in for Mac Mini M4 Pro based with 48gb unified memory & 512gb of storage for mainly 4K video editing and adobe photo editing. Not to brag even though I own maxed out MBP 16inch M3 Max if needed power. Definitely happy with my choice and can’t to use once it arrive few weeks. Superb review and recommendation. Keep it up! 👍🏽

[@itravelers]

I had come to the same decision based on bench scores and the simple fact that the Mini hasn’t enough full-speed cores nor GPU cores. The sad thing is that the attraction is lost when you have to spend Apple’s prices for memory and SSD storage for a Mini Pro. ☹️

[@tomsun3159]

To be honest its either the right choice or even an maxed out Mac Mini M4 Pro will limit you compared to a M4 Hydra Maxed Out Mac Studio or if Single Core performance is the deal even a M7 Generation Apple Silicon will limit you. The real question is is the limitation relevant and can you justify economical an upgrade, and where is currently the most economical configuration (heavily relying on the rates you can charge to your customers). How big is the percentage of the WHOLE production process of a 10 Minute 4 K Video, How long does it take to make A-Role and B-Role shooting, how muchdoes it take to prepare the video instructions, how much time does it take to go to the shooting locations, how much does the preparing of the cutting and the arranging of the scenes take,......... How much relevance has it to save 10s in exporting a 10 min 4 K Video where the whole production process took a full working day. Even if you save 50% in rendering time it does not mean you produce the double amount of videos you probably produce 5% more videos on the longterm, IF ANY!

It's probably to do with throttling on the MacBook.

On performance profile they were able to push the CPU higher at the cost of more noise. Don't remember the channel name, could be Max Tech.

Another youtuber has shown that the read/write speeds of the base model 256gb SSD are slower than the 512gb option. I suppose it's possible that this is some of what you felt when rendering on the M4 Pro since it comes with the upgraded ssd also.

[@glamoagency5642]

not upgraded, but different. The SSD on the base mini has two chips, 2 x 128GB. The SSD in the base mini Pro has four chips, 4 x 128 GB.
