M4 Mac Mini falls short for heavy users compared to Mac Studio

zdnet.com

The new M4 Mac Mini offers a compact design and powerful performance, appealing to mainstream users. However, it lacks key features that make it unsuitable for heavy users like the author, who relies on a Mac Studio for demanding tasks. Key drawbacks include the absence of a front SD card slot, fewer ports, and a lower number of GPU cores compared to the Mac Studio. The M4 Mac Mini's configuration does not provide enough advantages to justify replacing the author's current setup. Despite its attractive price, the M4 Mac Mini does not deliver the same value as the Mac Studio for users with high-performance needs. The author plans to keep their Mac Studio while considering the Mac Mini for secondary use.
