@jsnell did you ever decide on replacing the m1 studio? Im on the fence of the m4pro mini vs the base m4 max stdio. Sure i could get a 48gb ram but you are basically at or over the studio price with less ports/cooling etc. Most are overkill for my needs but i plan to have this at least 5 years so it seems that even though base studio is 36gb ram bumping it up to to 48 requires a chip bump too. Work machine is m2max MacBook and i definitely dont want anything for personal that i would notice a slowdown. #macmini #macstudio #m4pro #m4max
