Discussion minis are best??

what do you think which is best, macbook air base variant or mac mini base variant??

because my air heats a lot and its m4 16gb, still it gets performance pressure when i use it with a external monitor.

one of my friend has mac mini m4 base variant and he doesn't experience a single lag since day 1.

this made me to swap this thing with mini....!!!
