For those on the M2 Pro mac mini path, the Mac Studio looks a look more appealing. 32GB RAM, Max CPU and more ports for the same money. Will have to wait for benchmarks, but seems like more computer for the money if you upgrade the mini

Thanks for this. Yesterday I picked up a new Mac Studio M1 Max with 32G RAM and 1TB NVMe, and today I see the new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 12 CPUs, 32G RAM, and 1TB NVMe for about the same price.

Any idea the performance delta between the M1 Max and M2 Pro? Wondering if I should trade my new system in for the new Mac Mini Pro...

The sweet spot for the Mini is the 16/512GB M2 Pro at $1299. It is significantly less expensive than the Mac Studio. Unless you need 32GB of RAM and a lot more GPU cores, the Mini will do nicely.
