How We Choose

Holopico is a small, automated site. Our buying guides are written by AI, and we want to be plain about what that means.

What we do

1. Pick a topic that matters to Mac mini owners — say, Thunderbolt docks or external SSDs.
2. Search Amazon for products currently listed for that topic.
3. Have an AI model sort the results by how well each product's listed features fit the topic and a Mac mini setup, and write a plain-language summary of each one from its listing. The model can only choose from real search results — it can't invent products.
4. Run automated checks that block copy claiming hands-on testing, prices, ratings, or health and safety benefits.

What we don't do

• We don't test products. Nobody at Holopico has handled the items in our guides. Pros, cons, and labels like “Top Match” reflect listed features, not hands-on experience.
• We don't show prices, star ratings, or customer reviews. Check the retailer for current details.
• We don't take payment for placement.

How we make money

Links to retailers are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. That doesn't change what you pay. Details are on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

Use your judgment

Treat our guides as a starting shortlist, not a verdict. Read the full listing, check compatibility with your Mac mini model, and look at the retailer's return policy before you buy. Spot something wrong? Email hello@holopi.co and we'll fix it.
