Aboard the Mac Train! In June, I did the unthinkable for a gamer - I bought the pro version of the M4 Mac Mini. The decision, not one made in haste, was something I had been patiently deliberating for nearly six months as I considered my current living conditions.

The thing is, I shuttle between Hyderabad and Exeter at least three times a year, and each time I fly, I carry my 15-inch trusty Asus ROG Strix Scar laptop from 2021. Over the years, its trusty i9 processor and RTX 2070 super have performed commendably. However, the fear of damaging its screen with all that travel has always been a significant concern.

Watching Apple launch the small but powerful M4 Mac Mini at the end of October last year got me thinking - if I had a monitor in both places, wouldn't it be simpler to just carry the Mac Mini instead of the laptop?
