Developers – Best M4 MacBook Pro Configuration – Yurika.R

I’m planning to use the new M4 MacBook Pro primarily for SaaS product development. I’m not sure yet what the SaaS product will be, but it will mostly likely include web development but potentially also include some data science / machine learning, I’m not sure yet.

Could anyone recommend the best configuration (which M4 chip, how many cores, RAM, storage) for a balance between development power and price? I’m currently leaning towards the M4 Pro (base). If you’re in a similar developer role, I’d love to hear what’s working well for you.

Thanks!
