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.
