My current M2 Mini will remain connected to its 6K monitor. My new M4 tiny Mini will go full time portable with me. Currently, I use Luna Display when I head to the library or coffee. I can then use my IPP as a monitor, and the “brick” power supply battery. The battery can power the Mini for more than 10 hours, and I’m guessing the M4 could go 20. A big advantage is being able to switch back & forth from Mac 15.2 to iPad OS. Best of both worlds. My little bag holds the extra power cable, Lightning to USB-C cable, 2 small SSD’s, Magic Mouse, and a rechargeable keyboard. Questions? No need to sell the M2, though I may use that for portable use and keep the M4 on my desk. Win/Win!!

My M4 Mini base model replaced my 2018 Mini i5. Since OpenEmu doesn't run on Sequoia the 2018 will be used as my gaming computer on my bedroom TV.
MY 2011 Mini i5 is used only for running my old Photoshop apps because I refuse to pay Adobe for a monthly subscription.

I couldn't find much use for my m2 as a NAS. I tried all the settings I was supposed to change but devices didn't seem to see it like the old NAS I once had and then sometimes it needed to be logged into which sucked if I didn't have keyboard and mouse always on it. So I sold it for $340
