On the internet, there is always someone ready to complete the loop. And so I got to the story of Scott Yu-Jan, a YouTuber of the Manité, to which to use a MacBook Air should seem too common. Your idea: Create the final Mac Mini portable mac. And honestly, Although it is crazy, it is to admire.
I will not be mistaken: I had a Mac Mini for a few months and the dilemma was as follows: 80% of the time, I do not get up from the chair. I work, I write, edit and everything is perfect. But 20% in which I have to move the Mac to change an environment, visit my parents or work in another office, the thing is complicated. I cannot assemble external monitors in each corner. The result: I ended up turning the Mac Mini And launch safe with a MacBook Pro. But be careful, that I am not the only one to have suffered this doubt.
An invention worthy of ovation and savings for months
Scott Yu-Jan not only put the Mac Mini in a beautiful box. Accompanied it with a keyboard Magic keyboard, touch screen and a 3D printed case. All well integrated, with guaranteed ventilation, ports in sight and, as he presumes, the wiring well collected. Of course, nothing on trackpad: here, mouse in a trailer, as in the past.
Make this “pack” Add about 3,000 Euros if you tell the Mac Mini, the keyboard, the screen and the eye, the professional 3D printer for the accommodation. In other words, you can opt for three MacBook Air. I do not understand badly, I love and I hope that this type of project could have created something similar to “Save” my mac mini of the row of returns in the Apple Store. They are so crazy that great ideas. The process is really to remove your hat:
Own design from zero. Scott spent hours creating specific 3D models to adapt to each personalized component: Mac Mini, keyboard, screen, ignition button … Nothing is left to chance: The 3D printer, the real whim: Here is the grace: the most expensive part was not Apple, it was the professional 3D printer (more than 2,300 dollars).
Touch screen: Do not comply on any screen, bet on a touch screen which adds that this differential (and retro) point to the whole.
- Obsession for more details: The video shows how the cables are perfectly guided by the back. It even has a lever to press the ignition button.
- Craft finish, professional result. The end result is so careful that it seems to be made in series, but it retains this air from a unique and special invention.
Really, the video Ok gold every second. The edition is exquisite, the rhythm does not decompose and Scott shows that it has a brutal talent for the 3D design. Beyond the final result, which is to admire or put a museum, the process is a masterclass. And yes, the accommodation has irresistible retro air. It even looks for computers in the separation series. If you also think you have a “tooth”, you know what I mean.
Now, if you have cut the mobility bug but you should not leave your salary in a 3D printer, there are much more affordable alternatives. Today you can find Portable screens For less than an Apple keyboard costs. Some are surprisingly light and perfect to wear in the backpack: you log in by HDMI or USB-C and voila.

* A price may have changed compared to the last review
But if you are one of those who like to test, you have space on the table and a 3D abundance printer, here is the proposal. Of course, if you are one of those who, like me, must move frequently, and without loading suitcase, the MacBook Pro or the air remains the kings of mobility.
