When choosing a machine with non-expandable RAM, you went with the minimum configuration? That's a choice, I suppose, but the outcome wasn't exactly hard to foresee.
At the time, it seemed that ANY upgrade made the M2Pro mini cost-inaffective.
One of my coller Q12023 ChatGPT experiences was having it help me "reason through" which machine was most "upgrade-proof," dollar-for-dollar.
Now in Q42023, I would definitely had made the decision to purchase an M2 Studio (base model) instead — those additional upgrades (VS M2Pro mini config, sim.) were much more cost-effective. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my M2Pro base model.
