Dedicated Apple Silicon nodes

Rent a cloud Mac mini M4 physical node in Hong Kong

Give development, AI, and continuous integration workloads in South China & Southeast Asia a closer-to-the-workload execution environment. Each order maps to one dedicated Mac mini M4 physical machine, with no CPU, memory, or local storage shared with other tenants.

Ideal for MLX inference services, Mac AI deployment, iOS/macOS builds, self-hosted runners, and automated tasks that require a full macOS graphical interface.

Reference latency from Hong Kong to South China & Southeast Asia: 20~40 ms

This figure helps teams quickly estimate the distance between the node and their primary access region. It is not a fixed result for every carrier route, time of day, or protocol. Public routing, cross-border links, the team’s egress point, source-code location, and workload transfer volume all affect the actual round-trip time.

Before ordering, test separately from the developers’ network, the location of the code repository, and the path used by end users. Interactive graphical sessions depend primarily on round-trip latency and jitter; large dependency and model downloads depend more on sustained throughput; CI queues should also evaluate the source, cache, and artifact storage along the same path.

Regional reference latency 20~40 ms For initial screening, not a substitute for testing
Remote access
Record SSH input response, VNC rendering, and session drop frequency.
Code and dependencies
Test repository pulls, package-manager downloads, and large model transfers separately.
Job artifacts
Verify that archives, logs, and build artifacts can be fully transferred before the job ends.

Configure, pay, verify delivery, and start in four steps

Configuration and verification usually take about 15–30 minutes. Payment confirmation and node delivery are not included in this estimate; check the console for the current status.

  1. 01 About 2–3 min

    Confirm the use case and period

    Define whether the workload is MLX inference, Mac AI deployment, continuous integration, or remote automation. Then estimate the time needed for environment setup, execution, result export, and cleanup. The selected period should cover the full shutdown and exit process, not just command execution.

    • Confirm the location of code and model files
    • Decide whether build caches need long-term retention
    • Confirm how data will be moved out after the job
  2. 02 About 3–5 min

    Create the order and pay

    In the console, choose VMMini M4, a billing period, and any required storage or Thunderbolt 5 parallel expansion options. Review the order details, then complete payment in USD. Confirmation speed depends on the payment gateway response.

    • Verify M4, 16GB, and 256GB SSD
    • Verify the daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly period
    • Save the order ID for future support
  3. 03 Follow console status

    Retrieve delivery details

    After the node is delivered, use the console to view the connection address, username, and access instructions. Your team should store private keys securely and never share them through chat logs, public repositories, or unencrypted documents.

    • Confirm that the order and node records match
    • Save and verify the host fingerprint
    • Grant access only to necessary team members
  4. 04 About 10–20 min

    Complete the first-run check

    After connecting, verify the system version, disk capacity, time, network, and permissions, then run a minimal health check. Do not move production keys, a complete model library, or sole-copy data into an environment before it has been verified.

    • Check that the connection recovers after a restart
    • Run a minimal MLX or CI test job
    • Verify log, artifact, and data-cleanup paths
Create the order after preparing the use case, period, and connection public key

This reduces idle time after delivery and keeps the first check focused on the network, permissions, and workload itself.

Node ordering FAQ

Three buying questions about Hong Kong nodes

This section focuses on node selection and ordering decisions, not connection, build, or troubleshooting documentation.

Which teams are a good fit for Hong Kong nodes?

When key developers, code sources, model files, or service users are located in South China & Southeast Asia, include this node in your initial testing. The final choice should not be based on geographic distance alone. Test SSH, graphical access, repository pulls, model downloads, and artifact transfers separately from the team’s actual egress point.

Does 20~40 ms mean every connection will have the same latency?

No. 20~40 ms is a regional access reference for South China & Southeast Asia and is intended for early screening. Actual results vary with carrier routing, congestion, the team’s egress point, protocol, and transfer direction. For interactive remote access, observe both latency and jitter; when moving models or build artifacts, measure sustained throughput separately.

Are the machines provided on Hong Kong nodes shared resources?

No. The VMMini M4 currently available for purchase is a dedicated Mac mini M4 physical machine with 16GB unified memory and a 256GB SSD, not a virtual machine. Its CPU, memory, and local storage are not shared with other tenants. The console returns live availability when you place the order.
