"M4 24GB RAM vs M4 Pro 24 GB RAM

Discussion
Hi everyone,

I'm going to be buying the new macbook pro this week.

I'll be using it as part of my work & personal usage. I think I'd like to get 24 GB Ram to be on a roomier side.

I'd like 1TB and 24 GB.

#1. M4 price with upgraded 24GB ram & 1TB is $2,000.

#2. M4 Pro price with just 1TB upgrade is $2,200

Is $200 worth getting the pro? I am not sure whether I would be utilizing the extra 2 cores fully, etc. But, the upgrade does seem pretty cheap as it is $200 difference from the base M4 with 24GB ram.

What would be your choice? #1? #2? This is tough!!

————————————————————————

Update: I just checked the education discount for both.

M4 Pro gives more discount on custom upgrades.

So, the price difference comes down to $129 instead of $200.

Apparently upgrading with M4 Pro gives about 10% discounts! I am leaning towards M4 Pro at the moment.

It's not just 2 more cores.

M4 has 4 performance cores, 6 efficiency cores.

M4 pro is 8 performance, 4 efficiency.

That is a very good point. All that and TB5 for 200$ is extremely tempting, considering their 8GB ram upgrade is $200…

Check how many performance cores each model has, they’re the workhorses, so the more, the better.

I mentioned this because my M3 Pro came with 11 cores, 5 of which are performance cores, whereas the previous M2 Pro had 10 cores total with 6 performance cores, which is actually better. Anyway, enough on that

i'm in the exact same boat. 1TB and 24GB M4 vs M4 Pro, in my country, only translates to like $91 USD
