Mac Mini portability

I’m thinking of switching to a Mac mini and work from home most of the time, but might like to take it to work some days. Could there be any problems with unplugging it regularly, or with transporting it?

As long as you properly shut down the Mac mini before you unplug it from power and disconnect it from your display & other peripherals, it should be fine. Just make sure everything is off & unplugged from power before disconnecting things.

Transportation should not be a problem, either; all new Minis have SSD storage, not HDD, so there are no moving parts to be concerned about.
