Build quality and design are reflective of the Mac Mini, complemented by fast charging, a wide selection of ports, and, most importantly, speed. At $400 / £400 plus the cost of your own NVMe drive, it's aimed at creative professionals with Thunderbolt 5 machines, which limits it to Macs or PCs with a TB5 card; on anything less, you won't see the full potential you’re paying for.

Pros

  • +Fast Thunderbolt 5 connectivity
  • +Integrated NVMe SSD enclosure
  • +Up to 140W laptop charging.

Cons

  • -Expensive, and SSD sold separately
  • -Needs Thunderbolt 5 for full speed
