I built a portable and fully functional Mac mini M4 setup for about HALF the cost of a 15-inch MacBook Air! The entire package weighs less than a 16-inch MacBook Pro, making it surprisingly easy to carry around. Is this a "poor man's MacBook" or a true powerhouse?
Here are the accessories I picked:
Monitor: Arzopa Z1RC 2.5K Portable Monitor (16-inch, IPS, QHD 2560x1600, 60Hz, 500 nits, USB-C)
Keyboard and Mouse: Logitech Pebble 2 Combo (Pebble Keys 2 K380s keyboard + Pebble Mouse 2 M350s)
Speaker: Internal speaker of the M4 Mac Mini
Webcam and Microphone: iPhone Continuity Camera
Optional Accessories: Laptop stand, Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse
How do you set up your M4 Mac mini? Have any questions? Let me know in the comments!
