I bailed off twitter once all the creepy racists came out of the woodwork spreading lies under the guise of "free speech".

Technically, the only difference between Wifi 6 and 6E is the 6Ghz band.  The protocol and all that are the same, 6E just operates on a higher (and far less busy) frequency.

In a clean RF environment where 5Ghz and 6Ghz are open, there should be little to no difference between the two from a speed standpoint, beyond the fact 6Ghz can't penetrate walls as well as 5Ghz (or 2.4Ghz).

In dense RF environments like in cities or packed urban areas the 6Ghz frequency can make a huge difference though, as multiple radios aren't fighting for time on the same frequencies, aided in by the fact 6Ghz has trouble penetrating through walls.  If you are near a transmitter you will get great speeds with next to no interference from other wifi networks.  You just might need a few more transmitters to get great signal throughout your home.

To make it a more Apples to Apples comparison you should check the 10Gbe Ethernet option on the Mini.  Then both machines are closer in specs.  With that option the M2 Pro mini is $1,799 vs the $1,999 base of the Studio.

It seems to me that wifi 6 has barely stabilized (and not everything has stepped up to 6E, let alone 6), and already they’re trying to sell us a new standard? Nope! 

OK Grampa, you forgot to add "Stay off my lawn!"

Bring on the speed and new standard.  

So basically the system from before he took over, but with different colors.   That's innovation!!
