| Product Description: | At just five by five inches, the Apple Mac mini is less than half the size of the previous Mac mini. The compact Mac mini has a small footprint in your workspace and its lightweight design makes it easy to move, mount, and rack. Now housing the powerful M4 10-Core chip, the Mac mini delivers up to 1.8x faster CPU performance and 2.2x faster GPU performance over the M1 model. Add 24GB of unified RAM, 256GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6E, Gigabit LAN, and Thunderbolt 4, and the Mac mini is a tiny powerhouse. The Mac mini also features Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that transforms the way you express yourself, all while protecting your privacy. As Apple's first carbon neutral Mac, the Mac mini has seen over 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across its materials, manufacturing, transportation, and customer use. |

I suspect most people upgrading the RAM also bump the SSD so this model doesn't sell well

16, 24, 64?
Shouldn't it be 16,32,64
What about 48?
Makes no sense

Note that while the M3 Pro has a different memory bus width than the M4 Pro (and the M1/M2 Pros), the other M3 config details should apply to the corresponding M4 configs.

TL;DR: Apple (and others) use memory chips with 50% more capacity these days, and that's usually the difference you're seeing. It's further complicated as the CPU's memory controller dictates the number of memory chips.
To refer to the CPU specs themselves:

PS: Also note sometimes the configs are a result of Apple integrating RAM directly onto the SoC and CPU binning—chips that don't meet the highest specs are recycled for use in lower models— so some chips are only available with specific configurations.
I'll be posting an explanation to the original post.

My M1 Pro 16" MBP has been relegated to sleep duty in the OEM box!
If you're in the market and interested in macOS, buy it!

It's a fantastic machine and despite getting the base model, it handles everything I throw at it. For most peoples' needs, the base model is likely fine, but if you have the money in the budget definitely put it in the memory

You'll need to be comfortable with opening up the Mac Mini, as well as another Mac to do the DFU restore.
