Confused whether to replace MBP M2Max with Mac Mini M4Pro

Nowadays, MBP is usually used by external monitors. Then it was found that the performance of the M4Pro was already higher than that of the M2Max. Considering that it will also be used by external monitors in the future, and when it is played externally, the MBP is always placed on the right side, and the sound is asymmetrical. If you change to the Mini, you can place it directly under the monitor.
The current MBP is ` 32 + 1T `, and I want to change it to Mini ` 48 + 512G `. Does anyone have any suggestions 🤔

Anonymous6288 Apr 16, 2025It is recommended not to change it, you can read my previous post t/1116474. If it's really just about sound, buying a small speaker is better than anything else

Anonymous7203 Apr 16, 2025mac's gpu is actually not very useful. Maybe llm is a little useful? But 48G is not very big, and it doesn't have much value as local models.

Anonymous46 Apr 17, 2025That broken mini speaker is not worth the trouble... If you really care about the sound, wouldn't it be good to buy a desktop speaker for 200 yuan? Of course, if you just want to spend money, feel free

Please open "Audio midi settings" and pull the speaker balance to the middle You can also download a balancelock app to automatically monitor and fix: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/balance-lock/id1019371109? mt = 12
