For developers and teams in South China & Southeast Asia, move builds, CI jobs, and Apple Silicon testing to a dedicated physical Mac mini. No virtual machine, no shared time slots. Try your workflow by the day before choosing a longer term.
Workstations from $21.7/day. Select this location when ordering; availability is confirmed in real time by the portal.
Every term comes with the same hardware. Choose daily billing for a quick test, weekly for a focused sprint, or monthly or quarterly for ongoing builds. Prices below are for the base workstation and exclude optional add-ons.
A dedicated physical Mac mini with full access to the macOS desktop and command line.
Choose a billing term
Current estimate: $21.7 per day, a good way to test your connection and run a complete build.
Use the term selector to compare prices. Before ordering, confirm the location, billing term, and add-ons. The checkout page shows the final total and expiry date.
Projects, simulator images, and model weights can use a lot of storage. Optional add-ons include a +1TB SSD, a +2TB SSD, and per-machine Thunderbolt 5 interconnect. Additional SSD storage increases capacity, not unified memory; interconnect does not combine multiple machines into one with more memory. See the plans page for add-on pricing across all four billing terms.
The average latency estimate for South China & Southeast Asia is 20~40 ms. Use it as a guide when choosing a location—not as a guaranteed result from every local network, or as an estimate of build time.
Round-trip latency affects SSH echo, remote desktop interactions, and debugging. Test from the network your team actually uses, rather than judging by straight-line distance on a map.
Test: command response, desktop controls, and connection stability.
Cloning repositories, downloading dependencies, and uploading build artifacts also depend on bandwidth, routing, carrier peering, and the destination service. Low latency does not guarantee fast downloads, and a single speed test may not reflect a full workday.
Test: your actual repository, package sources, and artifact delivery route.
For always-on CI, focus on job triggers, cache reuse, and log retrieval. Keep compute on the workstation and transfer only the inputs and artifacts you need. Use remote desktop when graphical access is necessary, rather than keeping it connected throughout.
Test: a complete run from commit to artifact retrieval.
Locations run year-round, 365 days a year. Your local network, Wi-Fi, and intermediate routing can still affect connection quality. If something goes wrong, note when it happened, your network environment, and any error details to help with troubleshooting.
Times below estimate how long it takes to complete the steps and prepare your materials. They exclude payment processing, machine delivery, software downloads, and build execution. These depend on actual progress and have no fixed delivery time.
Pick a representative project, check that the base storage is enough, and decide how long you expect to rent. Running a real task gives you a better sense of fit than comparing chip names alone.
Estimated time: 2–3 min
Select the machine, location, billing term, and any add-ons, then check the total in USD. Payment is available via USDT-TRC20 or Visa / Mastercard / Amex (through Stripe). Available payment gateways are confirmed by the backend.
Estimated time: 2–5 min
Once payment and delivery status are updated, check your order, instance connection details, and expiry date in the portal. A successful payment submission does not mean the machine is ready to connect. Keep your connection credentials private.
Estimated time: 1–2 min
Connect using the delivery details and check the OS and toolchain versions before cloning a test project. Start by verifying command-line access, then run a build or inference task. Keep a local copy until data migration is complete.
Connection check: 3–5 min
Start by identifying who needs frequent interactive access. If the main operators are in South China & Southeast Asia, this location may be a good fit. If the machine will mostly run automated jobs, check the routes to your code and package sources and artifact destination as well. One team member's network experience may not reflect the whole team's.
No. This figure is an estimate of network latency, not Xcode compile time, dependency installation time, or upload speed. Build time also depends on project size, cache hits, and your toolchain. For a meaningful comparison, use the same commit, build settings, and cache conditions. Record download, compile, and upload times separately rather than comparing only the total.
The same Desk M4 configuration has the same published price for each billing term, regardless of location. There is no location surcharge. Optional SSD storage and Thunderbolt 5 interconnect are charged separately. Before placing your order, check the selected options, total, and expiry date. Availability is confirmed in real time by the portal.
Start with a daily rental and test your connection, dependency installation, and a complete task. Once it fits your workflow, choose a longer term.
