The M4 lineup is kinda confusing mess.
I'd take a look at the chart at https://arstechnica.com/apple/2024/10/apples-m4-m4-pro-and-m4-max-compared-to-past-generations-and-to-each-other/
If it were me, and this was the main workload, I'd seriously look at the $1600 Mac Mini with the 10 performance core variant.
But that said, ANY M4 is going to be so much faster than that 2016 laptop that she'll be happy.
The basic M1 CPU dunked on the highest end CPU from the 2019 MacBook Pro. Even the base M4 CPU is lightyears ahead of whatever 2016 machine they have now. Almost not even comparable.
Yeah that's a solid approach. I like that. Any idea why the Studio displays aren't as bright as the MBP screens? I haven't compared them side by side before. I should probably do that.
My immediate reaction is 'because they don't have to be'. Laptops are very very bright these days because the expectation you'll be using them outside and thus need to be able to overwhelm the sun.
Desktop monitors don't have to/aren't used like that, and so there's no reason to have them be as bright.
Also, the brighter the monitor the more color will start deviating from being completely accurate, and something like a studio display is aimed at creators who want it to be perfectly accurate, so that's likely another part of it.
I don't think I'd buy an Apple monitor mostly due to them being priced in a way that really makes no sense: for what your wife is doing I'd look at the ASUS ProArt monitors. They're focused on accuracy and creator workflows, come calibrated, and for the price difference you could buy three or four of them instead....
