    Which M2 Pro Mac Mini? 12core? 32GB? 1TB?

    I've been looking at some articles and geekbench. The 12-core M2 Pro Mini outperforms every version of the M1 Ultra Studio except the 20-core. I also heard that the $/performance for 32gb and 16gb is too high and very minimal. I've also read the 1tb vs 512gb SSD storage is faster. That being...

    MacBook M2 Pro Storage Upgrade Dilemma

    I'm in a bit of a pickle regarding storage for my new MacBook M2 Pro. I went with the 12/19 Core with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD, as performance is crucial for my use of multiple programs and moderate video editing. However, I don't really need the extra storage and can always get an external SSD if...
