If you max out the configuration of an M2 Pro mini with upgraded
12-core M2 Pro processor
19-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine
32GB memory
8TB storage
10Gb ethernet
4 Thunderbolt ports
it costs $4,099, which is exactly the same price as a base configured Ultra Mac Studio with
20-core M1 Ultra processor
48-core GPU
32-core Neural Engine
64GB memory
1TB storage
10Gb ethernet
6 Thunderbolt ports
or two base configured Max Mac Studios with
10-core M1 Max processor
24-core GPU
16-core Neural Engine
32GB memory
512TB storage
10Gb ethernet
4 Thunderbolt ports
So, clearly, Apple doesn't want to sell maxed out M2 Pro minis with 8TB SSD because an M1 Ultra Studio will likely beat the M2 Pro, or at least match it with more resources, and two M1 Max Studios will wipe the floor with both the M1 Ultra Studio and M2 Pro mini.
