The Portable Mac Mini by Scott Yu-Jan Has a 3D-Printed Case

— March 3, 2022 — Tech
The Portable Mac Mini has been designed by Scott Yu-Jan as a custom computing solution that harnesses the power of the M1 Mac mini as an alternative for users to the MacBook Pro. The unit consists of a 3D-printed case that can hold the desktop computer in the base, while the upper section holds an iPad mini that can be connected via a USB to USB-C connection. The system imagines a merging of Apple-branded technology products in an unexpected way, which will no doubt be impressive to avid hackers and makers.

The Portable Mac Mini maintains a relatively chunky design that is still compact enough to technically be carried around, but is more of a passion project than a product for the masses.
