My ultimate Mac mini M4 accessories guide – 9 must-have add-ons for your mini

The Apple Mac mini M4 is one of the biggest bargains in computing, offering a huge amount of power for not much cash. But you can’t use it on its own – which means you need to kit it out with peripherals and accessories.

That’s where I can help. I bought a Mac mini M4 earlier this year, and spent a stupid amount of time researching the options before adding a 27in 4K monitor from MSI. I run it at 2560×1440, which gives me plenty of desktop space but without a visible loss of detail; at full 4K, icons are too small, but at 1080p the desktop is too cramped You’ll need a cable to connect them, too, so I’ve included a cheap but (so far) reliable USB-C-to-USB-C option that can handle the task.
