Dedicated macOS

A Mac mini or MacBook with Apple Silicon is a good dedicated host, especially if you already use one as a stable always-on machine.

Advantages

  • Quiet and low power consumption
  • Reliable hardware
  • Good fit for a permanent home lab setup

When to choose this

  • You want a quiet machine running all the time
  • You are already comfortable administering macOS
  • You do not need NVIDIA GPU acceleration on the host itself
