Description:
Buying an Apple Mac mini M4 this Black Friday? Here's how I kitted out my Mac 
mini M4 with extra SSD storage, 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 spent 
a stupid amount of time researching the options before adding a 27in 4K 
monitor from MSI . I run it at 2560x1440, 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. 

I also added an Apple Magic keyboard and Apple Magic trackpad . These were 
no-brainers because they're simply excellent and both were available via 
Amazon Renewed for a good price (and still are below). A mouse more your 
thing? Apple's Magic Mouse is also an option. 

My biggest project was  that I upgraded the Mac mini M4 with 4TB of extra 
storage  but without paying Apple's premium prices. I paired the OWC Express 
1M2 SSD enclosure with a fast Samsung NVME SSD for quadruple the storage but 
no loss of speed. 

Finally, I added a Satechi Hub and Stand dock . This adds an essential (for 
me) SD card slot, among other ports, plus the chance for yet more storage 
(another 1TB for me). As a bonus, it also makes it easier to reach the mini's 
awkwardly placed power button. The essential Mac mini M4 accessories guide
