Dedicated hardware, not a virtual machine

macOS runs directly on a Mac mini that belongs to your account. Nothing is shared and nothing is virtualized.

Dedicated Mac mini

  • A whole physical computer assigned to one customer.
  • macOS runs directly on the hardware, with no hypervisor.
  • The machine’s full processor, memory, and storage are yours.
  • You hold the administrator account.

Virtual machine

  • A share of a larger host used by other tenants.
  • The operating system runs inside a hypervisor.
  • Performance can vary with other workloads on the host.
  • Some software behaves differently when virtualized.

Questions

For anything else, write to support@rentamini.cloud.

Is the machine shared or virtualized?

No. Each customer gets one physical Mac mini. It is not partitioned and it is not shared with anyone else during the rental.

How is pricing set?

Pricing depends on the configuration and the rental term. Tell us what you need and we will send a quote. An order for several machines is quoted at a lower rate.

How do I connect?

By remote desktop. You see and control the full macOS desktop, and we send the connection details when your machine is ready.

Can I install my own software?

Yes. You have administrator access, so you can install and configure software as you would on a Mac of your own.

Where are the machines hosted?

On nodes in the United States and Malaysia. Choose the node when you order.
