The compact size and incredible efficiency, thanks to using an in-house silicon, have turned the M4 Mac mini into one of the most capable portable computers out there.
As a result of using a custom chipset, the power draw of the machine is incredibly low, to the extent that it can actually be carried around by the owner and hooked up to a powerbank.
However, the only drawback to this approach is that even if that powerbank can supply the required wattage, it needs to have an AC outlet, or else this setup will not work.
The majority of powerbanks with an AC outlet can supply up to 100W, making it sufficient to be used with the M4 Mac mini The inspiration behind this configuration came from AppleInsider, who also successfully demonstrated that the M4 Mac mini can be attached to a powerbank featuring an AC outlet.
Best of all, during the testing, it was revealed that Apple’s compact computer consumes a maximum of 25W, which will only happen when you resort to running more intensive tasks such as gaming.
