The fastest way to connect a Mac mini M1 and a MacBook Air M4 is over Thunderbolt 4. Connect the two Macs with a single Thunderbolt 4 cable, then open System Settings → Network → Thunderbolt Bridge on both machines. macOS auto-assigns self-link IPs and you immediately get 10 Gbps+ file transfers between them. For a one-time data move, use Migration Assistant (Applications → Utilities) - pick "From another Mac" on the destination and "To another Mac" on the source. If you only need to see one Mac's screen on the other, enable Screen Sharing under System Settings → General → Sharing and connect via Finder → Network.
Both devices must be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same Wi-Fi for Continuity features like Universal Clipboard and Handoff to work. Need help configuring it? Our Dubai team handles Mac-to-Mac setups daily.
