Comments

Switched from an Intel Mac mini to this M4 Pro — night and day. The 12-core CPU rips through my video edits, and the 16-core GPU with ray tracing is overkill for my needs but welcome. Love the tiny 5x5 footprint. Only downside: 24GB RAM is soldered, so think ahead. At $1,599, it’s a steal for this performance, but that 512GB base storage fills up fast.
