Seems the m4 perfomance alot better than the M1 Max.
Well yes, if your tasks require GPU performance, then the M4 Max is likely nearly double that of the M1 Max, but at nearly triple the cost of this. Thing is, if you are on a budget, and GPU is a priority, some might make a mistake and choose a M4 Pro over a M1 Max, and probably still pay double over this deal and not gain much in the GPU department. If you don't care about big GPU tasks, then the single core M4 performance is supposedly amazing.
I'd also wonder what the thermals are like though, this being a 14, between the M1 and M4 similar configs.

I've got a 14" M1 Max. It can tend to get a little warm & the fans a little 'noisy' for sustained max loads (like a local LLM prompt running for several minutes). Regardless, it's still quieter than my work ThinkPad on a Teams call, lol
Having 32GB of ram will be a priority for some over 'newer gen with better performance', especially since it's pretty well known that M1 Pro/Max still have loads of performance headroom for most folks. A similarly configured M4 Pro with 32GB of ram will set you back around $2200.
