Hi, I am thinking of upgrading from an M1 Mac mini to an m4 or m4 pro.

I use Logos extensively and I make lots of slides for Keynote using the media function.

I have lots of books.

I periodically teach an online class using Microsoft Teams.

I would love input as to your experiences with the m4 or m4 pro.

    I don't have an M4 but last August purchased a MacBook Pro M3Pro 14", 18GB memory, Sequoia v 15.2, 512GB storage. I replaced my 2017 Microsoft Surface I5. The difference is remarkable. I have about 9,500 books (not counting printed books) in my Logos Library. When the library re-indexes it's a matter of approximately 2-4 minutes. Searches and other functions also super fast. I use a lot of different layouts. My model has multiple ports; I often connect two external monitors, works fine. I can't image the M4 wouldn't be another good step up.
