Battery powered Mac mini, and how to setup iPad as its only wireless display with Apple SideCar!

Tools. Electro. DIY just covered a setup that turns a Mac mini into a fully mobile computer by running it entirely off a battery. It is wild to see how they use an iPad as a wireless display via SideCar, paired with a CUKTECH 10 power bank and a magnetic iPad stand to keep everything organized. The video also highlights a few other portable accessories, like a wireless monitor and a folding keyboard with a built-in trackpad, to complete the travel kit. It is an interesting way to rethink a desktop-bound machine, and seeing the hardware in action makes the whole wireless configuration feel surprisingly practical.
