Nice video but the first thing you need to ask is if you really need a new computer.

My Mac Mini M4 Pro routinely runs over 100 C with the fan manually set to 100%. If you use Handbrake or other CPU intensive apps, avoid the Mac Mini. It’s built to fail.

The M4 isn’t the issue here. You simply chose the wrong configuration. For your workload, the M4 Pro would have been a better fit. It offers more power and a significantly better cooling system, which are exactly what you need. Hopefully next time, you’ll take the time to research the right setup for your needs

I have an M2 MBA 16GB 1TB, a 16” M2 MBP 16GB 1TB, and an M4 iMac 24GB 500GB.

They all do everything I need.

I’m just a regular user, so don’t need to keep buying more machines.

I’m also hesitant to upgrade, as they seem to be replacing the M chip quite often, so I don’t wanna get buyer’s remorse.

I’ll just stick to buying watch straps ?.
