Macbook pro m4 or macbook pro m4 pro?

Looking at 24g ram and 1tb for the macbook pro m4 or 24g ram and 512g ssd on the mackbook pro m4 pro.

Mainly want it for wappler development and raw image editing.

Any recomendations would be great

My MacBook Pro (2019) doesn't come close to those specs and it runs just fine. The 1TB hard drive is a bit overkill in my opinion unless you do a lot of video work.

Both of those are amazing units and will run Wappler no problem.

(I wish I could afford one of those!)

Macbook Air M3 24 GB RAM is what I use.

(I intentionally skipped the Pro, due to weight concerns. Totally happy with my choice!)

Before I had a Macbook Pro 2020 Intel

Thanks Brad
agree with you about the 1tb ssd especially as the upgrade is quite expensive...heard it said somewhere that running wappler on mac seems to be slightly better than pc??

Can’t say I can compare Mac vs PC . I have been a100% Mac guy for almost twenty years.

I can't speak for Mac versus Windows but I can vouch for Wappler on Ubuntu Linux absolutely urinating all over Windows in every regard. My laptop is not the fastest in the world (Asus N550JK) but it boots in about eight seconds (only upgrade to it is a 1tb Samsung SSD other than that is an i i7-4710HQ with 12gb of memory).

Really don't need a lot to run Wappler based on my experience (of course things may be a little quicker in some areas but on the whole I can't see cutting edge hardware making a great deal of difference as it stands. Current Beta is super efficient). I do, however, fancy a NEW Mac Mini to play around with in the coming month or two...

This 2019 edition is my primary Wappler development machine. Performance is not an issue at all (even running my Node site locally over https). Paying $1200+ for a development Mac isn't needed IMHO. I buy refurbished macbook's through amazon using my AmEx points and end up spending next to nothing for a PC that still handles everything I throw at it today.

Any Apple Silicon Mac will run Wappler without any problems at all. In fact, will run pretty much anything without a problem.
