Thanks Reeze, in my case it's a single USB C cable for the touchscreen monitor, and single USB cable for the controller. That's why I like my setup which has worked well for me over the last 15 years - a laptop I don't need to access or look at during a gig, wired to my controller with a single midi or USB cable. Bring another laptop to only use as a keyboard and mouse? Why not just get a new MacBook Air then, one device and done! I know you can extend a Mac's desktop to an iPad with some 3rd party apps, so that might be a possibility but again, the tech is iffy - either you wire them together or use wifi or bluetooth, which I would not risk in a venue with many wireless devices and networks around. I would have some reservations about using one live since what's needed to hook up a monitor, mouse or trackpad involves more tech than I'd like to have on a gig, but we all have our tolerances for that sort of stuff. Its part of why we don't see it yet.Enjoy that mini. But making a true high performance machine with lots of RAM, etc.on that same platform is not so easy. The current gen M1 is great for consumers, its plenty of memory and super fast in that architecture, makes less heat, all the rest. I am confident they are working on something.but I am also confident that this is not an easy challenge and it may be some time before we see an ARM Mac with tons of memory available.and/or it would not surprise me if they build some kind of hybrid Arm macrpro that uses the M1 memory architecture and then you can use some additional additional RAM might slow the performance back down to what we normally see in Intel Macs anyway.because it won't be consolidated into the CPU.which is the huge part of the secret sauce to the M1's performance results. But ironically, that is what makes it very difficult and perhaps expensive, to make a version with more RAM than they have delivered already.
That's part of why it gets the incredible performance that it does. The M1 architecture specifically has the RAM built into the CPU itself and consolidated in the way that the CPU handles things computationally. They decided to release another round of Intel MacPros, and my theory is that this is one of the primary reasons why. The technical challenge that Apple has to deliver on is how to support more memory.
