Any way which can use ipad as the monitor for mac mini? Be great if can work anywhere with this pair

i've used it before. You can try few ways, use a card capture dongle and app. But that would be quite bulky dock hanging out.

Another way is to use DUET app. I used the duet app and latency is fine. It work with ipad magic keyboard to use as keyboard and mouse. Only 1 usb C cable from ipad to mac mini.

if you can't make it work, here's an alternative:
get one of those lapdocks made for Samsung dex, uperfect makes them. or even protable monitor also ok.

does anyone know when we can start ordering this m4 mac mini in Malaysia?

Nobody knows. Check apple website every day until they have a release date. Plenty of seller offering in Carousell at a price higher than education discount but cheaper than retail price.

Won’t be so fast. Other countries available only on 8 nov. plus here not yet pass sirim. If too many preorder then may have stock availability issue.Priority to Christmas countries

looks like DUET is a good option! Just need to pay $9.99 to use its app forever right?

How was your experience using? Is it cumbersome to carry and use compared to Macbook?

eh...now with latest ipados and macOS, need app? With usb c connected between both and some setting on display set on mac and ipad, already can mirror/extend screen. condition is must login in to macOS first before can use

will try to look into that, i think duet also need to login as I remember i disable login for that purpose.

i am using it now again after a long time haven't use it. It works really well or even better now. I had some issues with the magic keyboard on my ipad last time. The issue was the delete key not functioning. Now it works fine. It's worth investing in magic keyboard if you're on ipad air/ ipad pro. since you don't need to carry extra keyboard or mouse.

yes I bought the app but only for wired connection. if you want wireless I think need subscribe or a different price for it.

i think that was sidecar right? If you don't have a main display, it's difficult to set your ipad as a second screen. I've thought about it before and don't think the solution was worth it. Buying the duet app was more simpler.

I saw somewhere from other countries start from 8th Nov, maybe we also same date

in your dream. they can pre-order now and get on 8. we not yet pass sirim and no pre-order yet.
u can see from ipad mini. why other country available but MY not yet

Might be at the end of November or in December.

right time before xmas...lol

Yea, I'm also waiting for the iPad mini It’s been a week since it was launched.
It just got approved by Sirim last week.

best time to order case, pencil, screen protector first on 11-11

SG tomorrow start, but MY just says to wait for availability.

damn. i wish here will launch soon. it should as there are only macbook air, mac studio and mac pro can buy right now at apple.com.

dunno mac mini will have supprise like Mac Studio having swappable SSD or not..hahah
