I know I can't be the only one.
Been waiting for an M4 chip Studio for a while now and was hoping Apple would launch one late this year with the new mini/iMac but sadly not.
Seems likely it will launch June/July next year instead.
As I need to make a desktop purchase now, I've decided to drop as little cash as possible whilst trying to remain future-proof and get as much back on my investment as possible. Buying a new/used M2 Studio doesn't seem sensible right now.
So I'm considering buying a base M4 mini ($599), and selling as soon as the new Studio is announced. That way I think I'll still probably be able to get around $350+ for my M4 mini.
Only consideration is whether from a used market point of view it would be more sensible to buy the 512GB M4 mini instead for $799 as I know a lot of people still value reasonable amounts of storage. Weighing it up, I still think I'd make more than a $150 loss with the 512GB so maybe the base one is best.
Anyone else in the same boat/planning similar?
