Which mac mini to buy ?
i use sessions only. use 4k monitor. use 45m mp raw files. Which mac mini is enough ? Should i go for m4 with 32 gb ram or should i get m4pro with 24 gb ram .
My current set up is i7 8750h with 32 gb ram & nvidia gtx 1070 8gb. its working fine. sometimes theres is delay of 2-3 seconds when i change sliders.

My Z8 nefs are the same size and I have a 4k monitor. I went with the stock M4 Pro. 32GB ram would be better but needed? I can't say (yet). Faster than my M2 laptop but that is a different benchmark.
What is the guidance? Get the ram you need then choose the processor. I thought 24GB would be enough for me.

When masking & ai or making changes to slider with lot of layers . How much ram your pc using ? Does it struggle ? How many cores does it use ? Have you checked activity monitor ? I was thinking to go for m4 with ram if it use more ram then cores. If it more core then probably same as your stock m4 pro with 24 gb. I don’t want to spend too much as you know apple charge way too much for any upgrade .

On a multi layer image I never got above 21GB ram use and C1 using 273% cpu pushing sliders from min to max or triggering Auto Adjust. This suggests ram over cores and that 24GB will be plenty. I only had mail, calendar web browsers and activity monitor open with C1. Processor and SSD speed might be considerations pointing to the M4 Pro ... they were for me.
