how much weight can a mac mini 2 support?

I have a 27" LG Ultrafine 5G display (bought from Apple.) It weighs 18.7 pounds. It fits very nicely on top of my awesome brand-new Mac Mini 2. Is this going to create a problem in the future? (I have the Mac Mini on top of a very thin lazy Susan that's about 10 inches in diameter so I can pivot left and right as my needs require.) The question is there any written documentation from Apple about the ability of the Mac Mini to take this load. If so, what does it say?

Thanks!

Set the LG display on the desk and turn the M2 mini on its side to conserve space. This is what I do.

I agree with John.

While the body will hold the weight, the bottom cover could collapse and block the air flow.

The answer to that question is no.
