Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Mac mini is straightforward: simply connect your power cable, plug in your monitor via HDMI or Thunderbolt, and attach your preferred USB or Bluetooth input devices. Because it uses macOS, you can leverage features like Sidecar to extend your desktop to an iPad or use Handoff to switch tasks between your iPhone and Mac. To maintain the device, keep the air intake areas free of dust to ensure optimal thermal management, and use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior aluminum casing. Always use a surge-protected power strip to safeguard your device against electrical fluctuations.
