Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (67.4 vs 69.1). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the EQ14 if you care most about tdp. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp.
Pick the Mac mini M4 Pro if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are ram, storage, thunderbolt, among others.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
