What to choose between these two? Although the M4 hasn't been released yet.. The price of M4 24G + 512 and M2 Pro 32G + 512 is similar by visual inspection.

Poster Jun 12, 2024@ Anonymous10531 mainly needs macOS. Windows small hosts already have them, and desktops also have them.

Anonymous7780 Jun 12, 2024I'm waiting for the M4. First, don't use it in a hurry, and second, buy new instead of old. The M4 upgrade is OK.

Anonymous9778 Jun 14, 2024Doing development? Memory is more important than chips. So choose M2 Pro 32G +512 Machine on my side: -win: SER5Pro (5700U) + 64G memory + 1T solid state (total 2400 yuan) -mac: M2 + 24G memory + 256 solid state (total 6400 yuan)

Poster Jun 14, 2024@ Anonymous9778 The main reason is that you must use macOS, otherwise you will definitely not struggle with this problem.

Anonymous9962 Jul 8, 2024It's better to buy large memory. Many services such as docker and vscode eat memory.

Poster Jul 8, 2024@ Anonymous9962 Yes, I kind of want to go directly to Studio, which is the safest way.

Anonymous10535 Sep 10, 2024Wait for M4 first. If M4 has large memory, choose M4. It's too important to develop memory, but Apple is too stingy in this respect.

Anonymous10083 Sep 11, 2024Waiting for m4, it is said that there are new molds.

Anonymous10536 Sep 12, 2024I would like to ask, can I get headphones with educational discounts when the M4 comes out?

Poster Sep 12, 2024@ Anonymous10536 Not necessarily...

Anonymous7496 Oct 30, 2024It's time to support this post. The main reason is that the power button of the M4 is really anti-human, and the configuration of the basic model of the M4 is too low. I don't know if the SSD is slowed down and castrated

Poster Oct 30, 2024@ Anonymous7496 is easy now, just add a 1500 upgrade hard drive. It's not like 16G of memory can't be used.

Anonymous7496 Oct 30, 2024@ Poster # 19 Yes, I also think 16G is actually enough... So your opinion now is that M2 Pro + upgrades the hard drive, right?
