You're correct that the base model is great for most people but this has the M4 Pro processor and not the standard M4. The M4 has 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency ones. The M4 Pro has 8 performance and 4 efficiency cores.

This Mac also has a 16 core GPU versus the 10 core one in the base model. Memory bandwidth is higher too. This Mac can support 3 6k displays versus the base model's 2 6k and 1 5k. It also has Thunderbolt 5 instead of 4.

Not everyone needs those improvements, but they are substantial for some people and easily worth the price difference for people who need them.

Check the Apple Refurb store. Carries the same 1yr warranty, can add Applecare and can stack edu or other discounts.

I grabbed an M4 Pro 12cpu/16gpu +48GB Ram+2TB SSD for $1800 two weeks ago. If I built it outright, it was about $2400.

Who promote listings like this? Don't recall a promoted listing for Apple before - it's usually Chinese gadgets or banks.

Does apple promote? Retailer? If so, it's multiple retailer? Or is it SD themselves getting more affiliated revenue on certain items? If it's SD, then how do their relationship with multiple retailers dictate which to offer increases revenue share?

So you are paying $700 for 8gb more memory and 256GB storage? IMHO, 24gb vs 16gb is not that different for most user, the base model is still the best deal





Also getting a pro processor with a few more cpu and gpu cores. But yeah, a couple more $$$ will get you a MacBook Pro when it goes on sale with same specs. This a bad deal.
The problem is, once you get away from basic pc computing and into ai… even 16gb isn't enough. I just wish there was a 24gb non pro version that didn't cost 1000$. And there's third parties now that can upgrade the ssd to 1-2TB on the M4 Mac minis.

This blows anything windows in the comparative price range unless you are into gaming.
Ummm. Not true if you take the time to compare them. Plenty of x86 and arm processors beat m4 pro. You are regurgitating a myth.

Can you upgrade the memory on this? Does it take standard laptop ddr4 or ddr5 memory?

Love my base M4 but this would've been sweet for $1,150. Not sure it's worth $700 more for most people though.
