Maximizing Mac mini for education, mobility and home school

Apple morning! I would like to ask to be learned about the Mac mini. I have to son’s one is in college the other is in junior high. The scenario is they have iPads but not new, around 2 to 3years old already. Am planning to get a Mac mini and how can we maximize it.

1. Can they use it simultaneously at a different screen/lcd tv, iPad or iPhone.

2. Are there any app. Or support for this.

3. Can we ask for a education or school support/price.

4. Can they use there iPad/iPhone or other system computer or laptop thru internet.


What are the other flexibility or mobility and ease of use for there home education system, support etc.,


Your apple support and apple assistance.

1. Can they use it simultaneously at a different screen/lcd tv, iPad or iPhone.


they can connect it to a tv or monitor, they can use vnc clients and teamview to have it's display show up on a ios device such as an ipad or iphone setting that up would require a real display such as a tv or monitor


2. Are there any app. Or support for this.


remote desktop, teamviewer, vnc of various flavours would allow this if 2 is about using the ios as display for the mac
