You can connect it, but not sure anything is going to happen when you do.
It likely won't work as a display for the Mac mini as USB-C and DisplayPort are usually output ports on laptops, and it will likely not give you access to the Mac Mini's hard drive either as target disk mode.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish by connecting them?
That’s not likely to work at all, for the reason Phil0124 explained. Plus, I’ve never heard of a laptop offering its built-in keyboard and pointing device as wired accessories to any external computer.
You need a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for the Mac mini.
I want mac mini to power my laptop instead of laptop being powered by its own CPU, GPU etc. so i can maintain two systems for two different work loads. 1st one laptop being used for gaming when mac mini is not connected and then use mac mini by connecting it via usb-c on my laptop for editing purposes so i can use my laptop's screen and keyboard and mouse to control the MAC MINI.
can i connect mac mini to my old windows laptop using thunderbolt cable?
