- If you're doing anything taxing, M2/8GB might not make you happy. I had a similar spec MB Air M2/8GB that stunk for work. I used a lot of SaaS apps and did research, so lot's of browser tabs. And Zoom calls would have choppy video. I had to reboot daily to make sure things would keep running smooth. YMMV!
- $500 (if you buy student discount or at Microcenter etc) is 66% more than $300. If spending $300 on a computer is already a lot for you or budgets are tight, the extra $200 is a pretty big deal (and with the Costco warranty, this adds some extra protection without AppleCare). If you already aren't batting an eye at $500, and you want the added value of the new M4 and 16gb, then you're going to lean that way.
Is it right for you? Maybe. I think it's a matter of intended use and financial situation.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank drachen9d8
but is it worth extra $200 for the new Mac Mini? I'm thinking it is...
For most, that's easily worth $200. But if it's just a Plex server or docker or Homekit or somesuch server, for example, then that $300 is a bargain and will just sip power.

I do believe it's personal, based on how it's used and someone's financial situation.

I bought the m2 8gb 8 months ago and apple is giving $260 for trade so I upgraded to m4 with 16gb of ram ( i was getting a lot of spinning with the 8gb for what I was doing )
Back then m2 16gb was $800 and now m4 16gb is $500. ( seems like one heck of a deal now compared to then )
