My newer M4 mac mini ($450!) actually beats out my older 14" 64GB M1 Max MBP (which is already a very impressive machine) in both single & multi-threaded CPU performance - Cinebench r23 single thread: 2267 vs 1489.
In terms of real-world use, the M4 mini has only consumed ~2.25W average over the course of 290 hours since I've had it running on a Kill-a-watt - that's just ~650Wh of power consumed over the course of almost 2 weeks - and this is with it driving 2 large (at or near 4K) displays. My Windows desktop PC consumes more power over just ~6 hours of similar use.
I'm all for deals, but after having experienced how badass the little M4 Mini is, I can't lie - I'm a little tempted to upgrade the old M1 Max with an M4 Pro.

And to be honest, I really love being able to sit down in coffee shops for hours while listening to music and developing my side projects without being plugged in.
