Right. My point is that mac people pay absurd prices for their equipment. For what you listed that’s not amazing value. 512 ssd is a joke, that’s like 35$ wholesale for an nvme. I get that the ram inside the cpu is more expensive but my god they make bank on their hardware markup.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
Intel Core Ultra 9 185H:
Pros:
Higher RAM speed (7467 MHz) and larger maximum memory (96 GB).
More CPU threads (22) and supports multithreading.
Supports more displays (4).
Cons:
Higher power consumption compared to the M4.
Higher price point compared to the M4 Mac Mini.
Apple M4 (8-core CPU) in the M4 Mac Mini:
Pros:
Exceptional performance per watt (power efficiency).
Lower price point and better value for the performance.
Cons:
Lower RAM speed (6400 MHz) and smaller maximum memory (24 GB) compared to the Ultra 9 185H.
Fewer CPU threads (8).
Supports fewer displays (2).
In summary:
If you prioritize raw power, multi-threaded performance, and memory capacity, the Ultra 9 185H is the better choice.
However, if you prioritize power efficiency, budget, and value for the money, the M4 Mac Mini is the more appealing option.
Each to their own. Yes I am aware of what I posted. They (apple) make excellent hardware. I choose products that live on for years, not at the mercy of a closed environment. I want to do what I want with my hardware. We have different needs and I respect your choices.
Agreed.i really want a powerful non dgpu high efficiency unit. The amd current gen don’t cut it and always pair with horrific bad wifi on laptops. Maybe Strix point?
Whoa I checked they use raw nand chips right on the main board. Certainly helps with size but you are totally locked in forever with that size (short of some serious soldering skills to replace)

I know it doesn’t have the efficiency of an m4 but…

Omg they solder the nvme. Disgusting.

At least you can replace it easier on the m4 mini
