Rent a dedicated physical Mac mini by the day—not a virtual machine. Compare locations, desktop workspaces, and build workflows to find the right model.
Device outlines and interface views on this page are illustrative. They are not data center photos, remote desktop screenshots, or performance test results.
XV M4 Runner and XV M4 Studio are listed in the order catalog for all four locations below. Location codes identify regions, not individual machine serial numbers. Check the console for real-time model and location availability.
A good option for teams in Southeast Asia to evaluate. Test the remote desktop connection from your team’s actual location before deciding whether to pin CI builds here.

UTC+8 · Southeast AsiaFor development teams in Japan and nearby regions. If you need to debug in the Simulator on a graphical desktop, test the connection from your team’s actual network first.
Models in catalog: XV M4 Runner, XV M4 Studio. Illustration, not an actual rack photo.
UTC+9 · East AsiaFor workloads serving South Korea and Northeast Asia. Run automated builds at the location, then check the logs over SSH.

UTC+9 · Northeast AsiaCompare connection routes for teams collaborating across South China and Southeast Asia. For interactive work, check desktop responsiveness; for batch builds, review task logs and completion times.

UTC+8 · South China & Southeast AsiaThis page shows the location directory and illustrative hardware layouts. It does not include unverified data center photos or specific rack numbers. Choose a location based on your own connection tests and the availability shown in the console.
These three illustrations show tasks you might perform on a remote macOS desktop. They are recreated interface layouts, not screenshots from a rented machine. The actual layout and available tools depend on the delivered environment.
Check the project and Xcode versions first, then review the compile, test, and archive stages. If a build fails, keep the first error in the log—not just the final line.
Illustrative interface, not a build screenshotInspect layouts and interactions on a graphical desktop, then use automated tasks for repetitive tests. If you run more simulators at once, keep an eye on available memory and storage.
Illustrative device views, not a desktop screenshotCheck the app identifier, signing configuration, and archive before uploading. Manage your own certificates and project files, and back them up before your rental ends.
Illustrative checklist, not a signing settings screenshotBoth Runner and Studio can be used for Xcode archiving. This example shows how to record a fair comparison; the illustrative progress bars are not measured build times. Keep the project commit, Xcode version, cache state, and task steps consistent to compare results.
A good starting point for validating the build and archive workflow for a single app. For formal records, also note the commit and whether the cache was warm.
24GB of memory gives you more room to run parallel tasks or additional simulators. Actual build times depend on your project.
This page does not include verifiable archive screenshots from the same project, so we don’t show comparative build times. To benchmark your own project, use the same commit, Xcode version, and cache strategy on both models, and save the complete build logs.
XV M4 Studio features an M4 chip, 24GB of unified memory, and a 512GB SSD. CPU and GPU share unified memory, so when running quantized models with MLX or llama.cpp, leave room for the model weights, context, and system.
The fields shown at right are illustrative indicators to watch in Activity Monitor—not a capture from an inference run, and not a guarantee that a particular model will fit in memory. Need more space for model weights? Check the +1TB SSD or +2TB SSD options when ordering.
Before starting an experiment, test with your actual model and context length. Don’t estimate memory needs from parameter count alone.
The first-person quotes below illustrate what different users might check. They are not reviews from verified customers.
“I’d open the desktop first to make sure Xcode and Simulator launch, then run my Flutter project.”
A Flutter developer’s machine check scenario
“I’d focus on whether the delivered model and location match the order, and whether the team can keep its build logs.”

This page does not include verifiable photos of our own data center, tenant desktop screenshots, or archive test screenshots under matched conditions. Hardware outlines, desktop workspaces, and monitoring panels are clearly labeled as illustrations. They do not prove the appearance of a specific rack, the actual delivered desktop layout, or build speed.
To verify a real delivery, check the model and location on your order, the connection credentials you receive, the chip and memory reported by the system, and the complete build logs from your own project. Don’t choose a rental term based on an image with an unverifiable source.
Confirm the model, location, and billing period.
Use your connection credentials to test SSH and the graphical desktop.
Save system information and complete task logs.
XV M4 Runner starts at $21.4/day. Choose a model and location, then use your own build tasks after connecting to decide whether to keep renting. Check the console for real-time availability.
