Builders are buying up the Mac mini as a dedicated box to run autonomous agents like OpenClaw 24/7. Cheap. Quiet. Powerful enough. And most importantly separate from your personal machine. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO If you’re running AI agents with deep system access, consider isolating them on a second device or sandboxed environment. Protect your main laptop like it holds your net worth. Because it probably does. GOOD Limits blast radius. Protects personal files and saved credentials. Dedicated uptime and performance. BAD Extra cost. More setup. Another machine to maintain. UGLY If an agent gets exploited and it’s running on your daily driver with wallets and exchange logins saved, the damage isn’t theoretical. Use the latest tech, but be smart about it.
