Dedicated physical node

Rent a Mac mini M4 in Hong Kong
and move your South China & Southeast Asia build workloads to a cloud Mac that stays online

Each order includes one dedicated physical Mac mini with compute resources that are not shared with other tenants and is not a virtual machine. Choose M4 or M4 Pro for your workload, then select a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly rental period.

Ideal for developers and engineering teams running remote Xcode builds, self-hosted runners, local model inference, batch transcoding, or isolated test environments.

Choose by memory and workload intensity, then decide how long to rent

Both options are dedicated physical Mac minis. Rent by the day or week for short-term compatibility testing; plan monthly or quarterly for continuous builds, long-running runners, and stable experimental environments.

Pricing basis

All prices are in USD. At checkout, the order breakdown is generated based on the selected model, rental period, and add-ons. Availability and final order status are determined by the live console response.

Payment methods

Only USDT-TRC20 and Visa, Mastercard, and Amex processed by Stripe are supported. All charges are settled in USD.

Node network facts

Average reference latency to South China & Southeast Asia: 20~40ms

Use this figure to assess whether interactive terminals, remote desktops, and build-log viewing meet expectations before ordering. It reflects a typical network path from the node to the target area and does not replace real-world testing across your ISP, office network, or inter-region connection.

SSH commands, Git pulls, and CI logs generally depend more on connection stability. Graphical interfaces are also affected by local bandwidth, packet loss, jitter, display resolution, and client encoding settings. If your workflow relies on frequent graphical interaction, validate a real task on a shorter rental period first.

From order to ready

Complete configuration, delivery, and first-task validation in four steps

The timeline consists of user actions, real-time system delivery, and workflow validation. Actual delivery time is not fixed and is determined by the information returned by the console.

  1. 01
    Estimated user time: 3–5 minutes

    Choose a model and billing period

    First choose M4 or M4 Pro based on memory pressure, working-set size, concurrent tasks, and storage needs, then select daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly billing. Choose based on observable resource needs, not just the project name.

    • Confirm the chip, memory, and internal storage specifications.
    • Check that the rental period covers migration, execution, and artifact export.
    • If you need extra storage or Thunderbolt 5 daisy chaining, verify it separately in the order.
  2. 02
    Estimated user time: about 2 minutes

    Confirm the order and USD payment

    Review the model, period, node, and add-ons before submitting the order. Confirm the amount and payment method again before paying to avoid selecting a test period instead of a long-term period or overlooking the storage capacity required by the working set.

    • The order details must match the selected configuration item by item.
    • Complete USD payment only through the two supported payment flows.
    • Save the order ID; you will need it for connection troubleshooting and renewals.
  3. 03
    Actual delivery time is provided live by the console

    Receive connection details and verify the physical configuration

    Once delivery information is available, first verify the node, chip, memory, storage, and connection instructions. If the order differs from the delivered configuration, stop importing code, certificates, or business data and submit a console ticket with the order ID and redacted screenshots.

    • Verify the SSH host fingerprint and connection address.
    • Check the chip, memory, and storage capacity in the system report.
    • Replace temporary credentials and enable SSH key authentication as a priority.
  4. 04
    Estimated first validation: 10–20 minutes

    Run a complete workflow

    Do not treat being able to log in as delivery acceptance. Start by pulling the repository, then install dependencies, check the toolchain, run a build or inference task, archive logs, and export artifacts to confirm that the network, permissions, and disk space meet your actual requirements.

    • Run one reproducible complete build or batch-processing task.
    • Record tool versions, the source of environment variables, and log locations.
    • Exit unused sessions, delete test files, and record environment changes.
Frequently asked questions about nodes

Common location questions before ordering

The answers below focus on nodes, latency, and order selection; they do not repeat connection commands or development-environment setup instructions.

Is the Hong Kong node only suitable for users in South China & Southeast Asia?

No. South China & Southeast Asia is the node’s primary service area, not an access restriction. Users in other regions can also connect, but the actual experience depends on their network, ISP routing, inter-region links, and workload. If your team spans multiple regions, have the primary users test SSH, code transfer, and graphical access separately before placing long-running workloads on this node.

Does Hong Kong’s 20~40ms latency mean every connection will be the same?

No. 20~40ms is an average reference for South China & Southeast Asia. Actual latency varies with the local network, time of day, route changes, packet loss, and client environment. Command-line builds generally tolerate latency better than frequent graphical interaction; if your workflow depends on a remote desktop, also monitor jitter, screen refresh, and file-transfer speed.

Which billing period should I choose when renting a Hong Kong node for the first time?

For validating the network path, tool compatibility, or a short build, start with the shortest period that covers the complete validation task. If you need a continuously running runner, large dependency caches, or long-running inference and media processing, use real resource records to evaluate monthly or quarterly billing. Choose the period based on task duration, not just the daily price.
