Mac mini Desk Setup | Matching iMac Performance on a Budget

2025年12月20日 Conor Butkovic

I tried to beat the iMac on value… and it got way trickier than I expected. In this video, I build a full Mac setup using a Mac mini, a 27″ 4K monitor, a 4K webcam, and a custom set of accessories to see if we can match (or beat) Apple’s all-in-one on performance and price.

We break down the display, the keyboard/mouse, the webcam, the audio setup — and compare the final cost directly to the iMac. Spoiler: it’s *closer than you think*.

Team iMac or team Mac mini? Let me know in the comments — and enjoy the build! 👇

Huge thanks to Vernal for sponsoring the video. Their sit–stand desk is the foundation of this whole setup — super easy to assemble, rock-solid even at full height, and the presets make switching positions effortless. I added the under-desk drawer and cable-management kit too, which keep everything clean and organized.
