Should you buy the iPad Air 4 and the M1 Mac Mini? A lot of users immediately jump to higher-end models, but Today I’m going to tell why the #M1MacMini and the #iPadAir4 are a perfect combo for someone who’s looking for performance at a great value. I’m also going to talk about why I think these two devices compliment each-other so well and why the iPad Air 4 is my favorite accessory for the Mac Mini.
There are more powerful options from #apple, and if you’re editing 8K video on your desktop or if you want more portable power - then you should look at other options.
But if you’re an everyday user who still wants that extra performance so you can play around with photo and video editing, and do everything from browsing the web, streaming movies and music, doing typical office-type work and even some mobile gaming, these are all you need.

Thank you, geat video! I just bought both of these a week ago (first computer purchases in 7 years) so very satisfying to know I was on the right track! Curious about using Luna display to enable headless (or at least untethered) use of Mac mini while at home but not at my desk. Is this realistic now? Would love some clarification about the distinctions between sidecar, universal control, and Luna display. Thanks again!

M1 iPad’s capabilities is worse than underutilized, it’s actually being capped by iPad OS. Believe me, I’m lusting after the 12.9” iPad, but I can wait until the software catches up to the hardware. With that in mind, I’m leaning heavily towards the basic iPad (with 128 GB storage) until then. With the money saved, the Mac Mini looks like it will take up the slack.

That’s the exact setup that I have for my home office :) I’m really happy with the performance of the M1 on the Mac Mini. It hasn’t disappoint and I usually have tons of browser tabs, Powerpoint windows, Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Outlook, Mail, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Spotify and random apps running all at the same time. And when I need to move around, I’ll grab my iPad Air and continue working as most of the apps that I use daily are cloud-based productivity apps. The Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are great accessories to ensure that I can still be as productive as when I am at my work desk. I love how everything just works cohesively.

As a new owner of an iPad Air 4 and also looking to buy a M1 Mac Mini, this video caught my interest. I'm curious about the sidecar stuff and how that would be of use. I'll mostly be using the Mini to compile XCode and am primarily considering the 16gb ram version to make sure it'll be useful for the next 5 years or so. Waiting to see if there are any Prime Day sales. Bought the tomtoc carrying case for the Air 4 after watching your other video.. thanks for the suggestion. I'm torn on the Magic Keyboard as I mostly use the iPad for drawing and rarely would be typing anything. Thanks for the useful videos!

This sounds like a great setup to me! I am a student and currently rocking an Ipad air gen 3 and very satisfied! It has completely blown my away. What was intended to be a youtube and light web-browsing machine has completely replaced my laptop, notebooks and textbooks. I still use my PC with dual monitors for heavier productivity and study sessions but can easily see a Mac mini replacing my 1500$ PC for what I need. Those ecosystem features like universal control seem sweet.

I have a Mac mini and iPad Air 4 and they work really well together. I do most of my work at my desk with the mini and have the iPad as a second screen where I’ll have things like emails and calendar. I didn’t need the features of the iPad Pro but I went for the 256gb air because 64 is not enough. Even though the step up to iPad Pro isn’t much more, I just didn’t need it the features so its better to have the extra storage and money. I was using a 2012 MacBook Air and needed an upgrade for uni. The Mac mini is perfect for a student, especially last year with so much studying from home, there just wasn’t a need to go for a laptop. Waiting for the new MacBook Air instead, fingers crossed for either a return of MagSafe or a third USBC.

I love that you mentioned that just because a machine is more powerful that it’s what someone should get. Especially in this climate, if you’re realistically not going to use the power and capabilities of a machine then it was a waste of money. Personally, I LOVE my iPad Air 4 and don’t regret not getting an iPad Pro. I’m a casual user and I used the money I saved to get the Magic Keyboard so I feel like I win and of course Apple still won too. Love your content, please keep up the great work!

This guy knows what he's talking about!! SUBSCRIBED! After spending many hours comparing the pros and cons of various iMac models, and also as a college student who isn't interested in spending 2-3k on upgrading my computer set-up, I also chose these exact two models! I purchased the Ipad air back in November, during the holidays, for about $100 off retail! So basically the pencil was free, right? I just recently picked up an M1 mini due to its cost-effectiveness. My M1 macbook pro is what I bering to class, but it was also what I used at home. Adding the M1 mini has been a game-changer, I think everyone needs a solid desktop set-up, it's not the top-of-the-line iMac but it'll do for now. Great video and great advice!

Great vid as always! If you haven't noticed already I noticed the spelling "stroage" in the text overlays while you're talking about the configurations. Keep up the good work!

I have the M1 Mac mini and the iPad Pro 12.9 (2020)…perfect combo. I like the Air 4 as well but I prefer to have the larger screen of the 12.9. I would highly recommend upgrading the memory on the Mac Mini to 16g and purchasing a Satechi hub for more ports.

I’ve been sketching in the same 12” iPad Pro for a long time …. Just Wondering if softwares like toonboom work as they do on iMac , also if Apple Pencil can be used to draw on screen as usual

Great video and very applicable to my setup, just bought the Mini and I already have the 2018 iPad Pro 11”. A question, which photo editor are you using? At 09:18 you're swiping by it but I can't recognize the UI… Thanks!

I just bought a brand new iPad Pro 11 but at a price cheaper than air 4. I quite like the idea of having Mac mini at the same time as they both can share the same monitor and other accessories, it would be the best for value. But I might wait a bit, m2 or m3 would be more appealing, no rush.

I’ve got just about every Apple device on the market right now via my company and I think honestly, if I had to start from scratch as an average user, based on what I’ve seen, my employees need from a technology perspective, I would go with an M2, MacBook Air, and a iPad mini six. The MacBook can do everything the Mac mini can do, but it can also be a grab and go solution for someone who needs to do more than what an iPad can do and the iPad mini, which I initially thought I would not like, I really enjoy for most of my content consumption and the price and performance is just right.

My perfect Combo: M1 iPad Pro 11” and iMac 27” 2019, + I have cheap windows Laptop in case If I need some windows app, but in reality I never use my laptop anymore. I think iPad + Mac mini really great combo, or just iPad + some desktop computer. For most cases ipad much more portable and comfortable than MacBook, so iPad great for some light and easy work + games and entertainment, web browsing. And for heavy focused work much better to work at the desk / table, and for this purpose Mac mini or iMac suits perfectly.
