Buying a Mac mini M4 this Black Friday? Here's how I kitted out mine with 
peripherals and accessories  from extra SSD storage to a monitor, trackpad 
and more.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

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 did a 
huge amount of research before adding a monitor, extra SSD storage and more. 

My first two purchases were the Apple Magic keyboard and Apple Magic trackpad 
.. These were easy choices; you can get cheaper third-party options, but the 
keyboard and trackpad are both excellent, and both were available via Amazon 
Renewed for a discount (as they still are below). If you prefer a mouse, 
Apple's Magic Mouse is also an option. 

For a bigger project, I also upgraded the Mac mini M4 with 4TB of extra 
storage  and without paying Apple's premium prices. The OWC Express 1M2 SSD 
enclosure and fast Samsung NVME SSD gave me four times as much storage with 
no loss of speed. 

I also bought a 27in 4K monitor from MSI . This works really well at 
2560x1440, which doesn't use the monitor's full resolution but which gives me 
plenty of desktop space without a visible loss of detail. The exact model I 
bought isn't available now, but the MD272UPSW below has similar specs for a 
similar price. You'll need a cable to connect them, too, so I've included a 
USB-C-to-USB-C option below. 

Finally, I added a Satechi Hub and Stand dock . This not only provides 
several helpful extra ports, but also gives you the option for yet more 
storage, and even makes the Mac mini's awkwardly placed power button more 
accessible. The essential Mac mini M4 accessories guide Apple Mac mini M4
