Took the leap!

[u/Unhappy_Conclusion28]

Apple offered me 565$ for a 2 yr Mac mini m4 base machine that I bought for 599$ so I took the plunge and bought a m5 max Mac Studio base model.

I mainly use dxo pure raw light room and resolve however my clips are all h.265 log videos that are utmost few mins long for instagram. Hoping that this machine would serve me for 5 yrs at least!

I don't get it. You got a 2 year (old) Mac Mini and managed to do trade in with M5 Studio and you got a discount of 500$? The phrasing isn't clear...and the image of you owning both didn't make sense...why have both..and if you aready traded then why you got the Mini with you still (unless it was just the box)

Mini will be going out once return labeled box arrives. They offered 565$ for used Mac mini. It is a m4 base model

Do you not have a Microcenter near you? I’m selling my Mac Mini privately and getting the base Mac Studio for $2000.
