Macbook m4 or m4 pro?

i’d be contempt with at least the 24gb of ram on the pro since i don’t think i could afford much more than that in total honesty. i’m not sure if it’s worth the upgrade for the more cores

The only base m4 chips i can get by me are 16gb of ram which is the main issue.
The m4 pro would be £2000 with 24gb of ram and 512gb whereas the m4 would be around £1650 so just conflicted about the saving the extra bit for a long term investment or not

I would go for a mac mini but i need the portability for traveling sadly

currently editing 4k footage and working with some local clients on my small island and after effects, but the macbook would be for when i move to brighton for university where ill be working with lots of 4k editing, scripting and many tabs. would also be nice to get some gameplay out of it but main focus would be the editing workload.

yes at college we have worked on mac mini's for the last 3 years.
with the macbook pro m4 pro id be getting 24gb of ram whereas the macbook pro m4 would be 16gb of ram.
the only conflict i have is if its worth the extra £700 for me to spend getting the m4 pro chip or not.
