So for example a front end web developer isn't going to see much difference between an M1 Pro/Max and a regular M2. Most of their workload is dependent on single-threaded performance, which the M2 is better at. The exception here is if they're routinely running a bunch of VMs simultaneously for e.g. compatibility testing.
Backend devs might be better off with an M1 Pro/Max depending on the language they primarily work in… some languages and associated toolchains are much better at utilizing multiple cores than others. They're likely to need a lot of RAM though because e.g. running a lot of Docker containers (which are VMs under the hood) is memory intensive.
The group that most unambiguously benefits from an M1 Pro/Max are developers working on native desktop or mobile apps… these devs are mostly writing languages like C, C++, Rust, and Swift which all have well-multithreaded toolchains which will see dramatic speedups in even incremental compiles with more cores in the mix.

Any professional using this power is using external drives so maybe rethink your argument because it's 100% wrong.
The M2 (and M2 pro) chip is a little faster than then M1 Max in single CPU situations for sure.., like Adobe Illustrator.
Nice to have more inputs/outputs and 32gb ram on the Studio, where as the M2 Pro mini deal has 16gb ram.
Maybe theres slightly more fan noise on the Studio?
If youre not in a rush, the M3 chips are gonna def be a step fwd in performance (more than the M2 to M1 mild improvement). Hope you get a good computer deal that fits your workflow and budget!
100% wrong? Just because someone has been trained/ trained themselves to use an external drive does not make it the one and only way. Storage is not that expensive, and bigger drives tend to have the capacity to write more TB over the lifespan of the product. (Not always true, but generally).
And since this is a product that doesn't allow repair on that component, it becomes built in obsolescence. That said, I neither disagree nor agree with the amount of space, but the comment was a little short sighted of other people's workflows. There is not 1 way for all. It is unfortunate the bigger drives are such a high increase in price as well as it forces people who can't afford it to shift their methods.
