Hey guys. I’ve had this concept for a while, but just now showed up around here. Anyways, if one was to get an Mac mini and a cellular iPad, ( in my case an iPad mini 6 for maximum portability) could you use sidecar to use the mini as a screen and use hotspot to supply the wi-fi for the Mac mini, providing a very small cellular Mac? I know you could just use a MacBook and tether it to a phone, iPad or data hotspot, but that’s not as interesting lol. I also like the concept of having no batteries, even though you’d need a wall outlet to use the Mac. The purpose is basically just if it is possible and to be able to use a Mac mini as both a desktop and makeshift on the go cellular device. Any concepts where this might be useful I would also appreciate. Thanks guys for entertaining this crazy thought!
