MBP M4 Max 64 GB - $3899 (only top line M4 Max supports 64 GB)
Obviously, an M4 Max is not an M4 Pro, and an M4 Pro is much much cheaper than a M4 Max. Original comment said M4 Pro started at $3899, which is obviously uninformed or malicious. Calling it an “M4 pro M4 max” is just lunacy.
The original comment really was just about the M4 Pro with 64 GB, and the Mac mini does actually deliver that configuration for $1999. Switching it up to a laptop only discussion came later and was just an instance of moving the goalpost.
