Some reviews say the regular is a bargain for the performance but if you need the extra performance, the M4 Pro is worth the upgrade.

I know, I know, this is a common complaint, but my thinking/reasoning is a bit different;
I honestly just don't understand how Apple thinks this (latest-gen) laptop is even remotely competitive in todays laptop market EVEN against Apple's own offerings...
I mean, if 512gb is enough for a given buyer, then an M1, M2, or M3 is more than enough as well for those same buyers at about half the cost or less.
It's kinda gone from greed to just stupidity (IMHO)… Unless their goal is to push buyers towards Mac Mini's since 512GB is so small (that you'll need an external SSD), making the laptop far less portable…
I get the 'small drive logic' for the base model (at sub $1K) , but this is supposedly a PRO model… Who could need this minor bump in performance over a base model but not need more storage?
Perhaps the Pro is the sacrificial config to make the MAX more attractive? I really have no idea what Apple is thinking anymore.
I guess maybe they're banking on the fact that this would be worth it for users that want to just have another couple of years until forced obsolescence… like those who like to incrementally update thier laptops every year along with their phone? Again, total guess as it makes no other business sense compared to their own previous (and available) offerings.
I mean if this massively made Apple AI more accessable (over previoys gens) this might make sense, but 'Apple AI' is still pretty much half vaporware at this point. And when it's not, it's going to need a lot more power and a lot more storage than this minor/expensive upgrade provides (over the M1, M2, and M3).
Like, Im a filmmaker, I own a 1TB because when im doing a job, offloading all my footage to my laptop is nice. But even with all my editing software installed, and a bunch of media sitting on my computer, Im still only at 350GB right now. And Id bet Im a 5-10% use case at best.
Apple holds up for a while so nothing materially wrong, but probably more productive with a faster model.
I don't do video editing or anything like that but I have tons of windows / tabs and applications open at most times and speed is everything for me with a lot of time sensitive things as my job.

Just my 2 cents. (And no, I am not an Apple hater, I just don't see the business logic for this from a marketing perspective).
(Well, at least its not another 8gb memory config
Also like the way it looks more, and the weight of course!
But I'm one of those crazy guys who has zero issue with 8gb/256gb.
