Hi all,
I have a 2018(2020?) Intel Mac Mini i5 with 32gb ram. It does everything I need, and hardly ever hangs. If it does it’s usually the app itself that hangs.
It’s been a fine setup since I’ve been working from home since I purchased it. However, with things calming down in my country in regards to the pandemic, I may have to go back into the office a couple times a week from October.
I could carry the Mac mini in, but could see that being a slight pain.
I was considering two options:
I always picture myself going to a cafe or library to work in a new environment, but I know when I had my old MacBook I never did this ?, so perhaps that’s just a fantasy.
I think both are solid options so that’s why I am torn. Could do with any insights from you all!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was considering two options:
- Selling the Mac mini later in the year for however much I can get, and buying a new 16” MBP whenever that is released. This would act as my desktop and laptop since I can just plug it into my monitor at home.
- Keep the Mac mini since it does the job, and purchase an iPad Pro 12.9. Using this I could remote into the Mac mini on those couple days a week I have to be portable. I’ve seen various apps that do this and it seems to be stable enough to use.
