Throw in another $100 for 10 GigE if you care about that, and you’re close to “maybe I should get a Studio instead” territory.

If they do add the M2 Pro as an option, surely that’ll be another $200 if not more. Which raises the question: whom is that for? Wouldn’t they just get the Studio?
Good point I guess. I just assumed that Apple is always looking at economies of scale for their parts bin, and they deliberately eschewed the Pro chip for the Studio line. And they hardly ever break with their established pricing tiers.

So I just figured they would eventually be slotting in the Pro chip where the Intel Mini is.
