Can I use an iPad as the primary display with a Mini?

This would be an 'on the road only' use as I'd normally be using the Mini with an external display, keyboard, mouse. I'm happy to use a cable, if that helps...

Hello there!

There are two ways to turn your iPad into a monitor for the Mac. You can hook the two together with a USB cable and run an app like Duet Display on the iPad. Or you can go wireless. This means plugging a Luna dongle into the Mac and then running the Luna app on the iPad.
