While the M4 Pro is technically more powerful, the regular M4 handles most workflows incredibly well. I'll show you exactly where each one starts to struggle, from basic productivity to video editing and development work. After extensive real-world testing, I've come to some conclusions about which one actually makes sense to buy in 2025, especially with the new Mac Studio pricing. The answer isn't what you'd expect.
