Hey everyone, I'm a third-year medical student (M3) trying to decide between two Apple setups.

Since I'm currently doing my hospital clerkships, I won't be taking my laptop out with me very often. At home, I have a dual-monitor setup. My daily workflow is very light—no coding or heavy processing. I mainly use Chrome and study apps like Anki.

Would I be better off getting a single MacBook Air M5, or splitting my setup with a Mac mini for home and a cheap/lightweight MacBook for on-the-go? Any advice is appreciated!
