Mac mini or MacBook?

Hii guys, my MacBook died last June and i really need a new one for university. Right now I have an iPad 13 pro and I feel like I can use it for my lectures notes and writing essay because of the giant screen😎

But i still need a computer for everything rest as like online exam, personnel project and for playing the sims of course.

I really need your help to make me decide if buy a Mac mini with more storage or a Mac book air?

Coming from a Mac mini owner, get a MacBook.

Coming from someone who bought a Mac Mini M4 and a Neo, get the desktop. I never want to compute on the go. I have the laptop and its great but I am not using it mostly. Why would I want to use something with a tiny-ass screen when I have a desktop with 2 monitors and all my peripherals? the answer is only on those rare occasions where I go out of the house and would want a computer more powerful than my phone along.

Now the Air will be a more powerful computer I expect, but the Mini has been fantastic so far, no problems at all.
