After the departure of the Mac Studio with M4 Maxmany people may wonder if it is worth going for this model, the most powerful to date, or is to spend money on a team that we are not going to give a real utility, being able to opt for something simpler like the mini m4.
Today we will analyze these differences and see what people can be profitable for one, being something absurd to the rest, which will be the majority, and that they will not see a Difference between these two teamsexcept in the price, where they will notice.
Studio M4 Max vs Mini M4
If we talk about the cost, which is the first thing we have commented, we will see how a Mac Studio M4 Max, the most basic, will come out of 2529 euroswhile the basic mac mini m4, part of 719 euros, That is, three times cheaper, so we do not talk about a small difference, but of a very different cost.
But what can that M4 Max give us that do not make the M4 Mini? Well, according to Apple, we will have a much higher power, capable of performing the following tasks more quickly.
-
Process images in Adobe Photoshop up to 1.6 times faster than with the Mac Studio with M1 Max and up to 2.9 times faster than with the 27 -inch IMAC with Core I9.
-
Compile code in Xcode up to 2.1 times faster than with the Mac Studio with M1 Max and up to 3.1 times faster than with the 27 -inch IMAC with Core I9.
-
Transcode video proresters in Compressor up to 1.2 times faster than with the Mac Studio with M1 Max and up to 2.8 times faster than with the 27 -inch IMAC with Core I9.
-
Process video in Topaz Video AI up to 1.6 times faster than with the Mac Studio with M1 Max and up to 5 times faster than with the 27 -inch IMAC with Core I9.
Although they do not compare it directly with the Mac Mini M4, we can intuit where the shots go, and yes, this M4 Max is a barbarity, and you can perform much faster processing tasks, however, are you going to dedicate yourself to that? If so, it will not be necessary or read this article, but for the rest of the world, it is absurd to pay three times more for something that we are not going to use, and to see a movie, play a game, or navigate online, it will be as effective in one as in another.
In short, yes, it's faster, but It is not worth its pricebeing clear Winner the Mac Mini M4 For most users, since with those 719 euros it is positioned as one of the best devices in quality and price ratio of the whole year, so do not hesitate, and if at any time it falls short (I do not believe it), you can invest in the M4 Max, but if you do it backwards without being safe, you will lose a lot of money.
