Yes; just went through the chat after referencing local stock at the nearest Micro Center (Miami has/had 11 in stock; ~45 miles away); they issued a refund after I placed the order.

Rather, I choose 2 Mac mini which is at 450 times 2. So I'll get 20 core CPU, 20 core GPU and 32 gb ram. What do you say?

I currently have a 16inch M2 pro 16GB/512GB, 65 cycle count and 98% battery. I will be able to get around 950 dollars from Apple Store as gift card which I can use to pay for apple services. I would like to purchase this Mac mini as a desktop option and a 15.3 inch M4 air or 14 inch M3pro/M4pro for portability. Do you think this is a good idea? My primary usage is lightweight coding and writing latex documents...sometimes I code in R or python which are high computing requirements...

This seems like a better deal than the base model for $450 and was able to price match BB. Thanks!

Sounds like you would replace one base model device with two near base models for not much of a win.Why so complicated? Just get one MacBook and spec it how you need itI have recently switched from 32g M1 Pro MacBook to maxed m4 max Mac Studio + base 15" air for portability but that makes at least some sense because studio + base air is still less than putting the same hardware into a single MacBook Pro

I'm not sure it's better than the base model at $450. You get 2 more cpu cores, 6 gpu/neural engine cores, 8gb ram and 256 more ssd space for 120% more cost.
Not saying this isn't a good price for this spec, but the base model @ $450 is tremendous value.

We can use it as a stack. People are already experimenting with this.

Probably better for those wanting to try local LLMs and not wanting to deal with the latency of trying to run 2 in parallel

Thank you for the reply. You are absolutely right. My logic was as follows: the two combined items will cost me around 2500 USD which is the cost of a 16inch MacBook M4 pro. With trade in, it will cost me around 1500 USD. M2 pro performs similar to M4 (at least this is what I have heard). I don't need a m4 max capable processing power for next 6-7 years or so...
