Recent bought a M4 mini ($499) version for side projects, I have to say the M4 feels much more snappier when ram is not full.
Switch apps, browser tabs are fast and almost instant when rendering a regular website, loading dynamic contents(timeline, selectors) are visibly more faster than my M1 Max. Even code compiling are faster, guess the core performance boost from M1 to M4 does contribute to overall experience.
However, all the good experience ends when your workload exceed the basic work flow.
You'd pay way more to match capacity in mini if include SSD and ram upgrade compare to this M2 Max Studio. Studio still good at heavy workload and exceeds. But M series improvement isn't a trivial thing, I won't say it's night and day difference, but definitely noticeable. I didn't eager to upgrade my M1 Max before I tried M4 mini, now I might upgrade when M5 Max released or even bought M4 Max when there is a similar deal around.

Reading the reviews on this one, they are receiving brand new, sealed products. If that's the case, this is a smoking deal.

I have a 16" M1 Max with 24c GPU. Most of my tasks are video rendering, will this one help if I "upgrade"?

Main thing is the video encoders. The Max chips have had 2 video encoders, while the non-max/ultra M chips only have 1 encoder making it slower for video output. So even the M1 Max will beat the current M4 non-Max chips in video exports.

Speaking as someone who's editing video/photos on this exact same Mac Studio; at this price I cant comprehend a better editing rig for someone using Final Cut. I do a ton of shorter videos (3-5min range), and even at 4k my exports are nearly instantaneous.

Mac Studio has a few extra ports, which are nice, since you're gonna need to use external SSD drives to do your work

My research indicates that Studio should be faster for common PS and Final Cut Pro tasks. Mini would be slightly faster for everyday tasks. I ordered Studio cause I like having slightly more RAM and built in SD card slot.
