Dedicated Apple Silicon physical nodes

Rent a Mac mini M4 at Hong Kong, with a remote desktop ready in about four minutes

For development, continuous integration, and remote creative work in South China & Southeast Asia, VMOak assigns each valid order to a dedicated physical machine rather than a shared virtual machine. From configuration confirmation to access details, the standard process takes about four minutes.

Choose between M4 16GB / 256GB and M4 Pro 64GB / 2TB configurations, with daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly rental terms. Availability is confirmed in real time by the console.

Configuration and billing terms

Choose the physical machine for your workload, then compare rental terms

Both plans include a dedicated macOS graphical interface and command-line environment. Use daily or weekly terms for short tests; monthly or quarterly billing is usually better for ongoing builds and fixed workstations.

Node network facts

Connect from South China & Southeast Asia to Hong Kong, with 20~40ms average reference latency

This figure helps teams make an initial assessment of interactive remote desktop use, SSH work, and build artifact transfers; it is not a fixed-latency guarantee. Actual results depend on your ISP, inter-network routing, wireless quality, proxy settings, and usage time.

Before ordering, test round-trip latency, jitter, and packet loss from the office network you plan to use. Graphical interfaces are more sensitive to consistent stability, while automated builds depend more on reliable SSH sessions and artifact-transfer bandwidth.

Connection assessment

Do not judge by latency alone

Average latency reference
20~40ms
Recommended checks
Round-trip latency, jitter, packet loss, and sustained transfer
Remote desktop
Use a stable wired connection and adjust image quality to available client bandwidth
Automated tasks
Use SSH keys, a fixed working directory, and recoverable build caches

Nodes run normally 365 days a year with no scheduled downtime periods
From order to ready

Four steps to confirm configuration, allocate a node, and issue access details

A standard order is expected to complete in about four minutes. If additional verification is required, the console will show the current status. Once access details are generated, connect to the remote desktop or SSH as instructed.

About 45 seconds

Confirm configuration and term

Choose M4 Branch or M4 Pro Canopy, verify the daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly billing term, and confirm whether you need an SSD or Thunderbolt 5 add-on.

About 60 seconds

Confirm service node

Review the target node and your team’s primary access region before submitting the order. Available combinations are shown directly in the catalog, while live availability is returned by the console.

About 90 seconds

Allocate and check the dedicated physical machine

The system assigns a dedicated device to the order and checks startup status, network connectivity, system-disk capacity, and remote-access services to ensure the delivery details match the actual physical node.

About 45 seconds

Generate access details

The console generates the access address, username, and temporary credentials. Update the temporary credentials immediately after the first connection, then add an SSH public key and repository access token as needed.

Node ordering FAQ

Three pre-purchase questions about the Hong Kong node

These answers cover node selection, reference latency, and order configuration. They do not replace the live information returned by the console when you submit an order.

Is the Hong Kong to South China & Southeast Asia latency of 20~40ms fixed?

No. 20~40ms is an average latency reference for South China & Southeast Asia used for initial location selection. Actual connectivity varies with local networks, ISP routing, proxy paths, packet loss, and wireless conditions. Test continuously on the actual office network you plan to use rather than relying on a single speed test.

Which Mac mini configurations are available at the Hong Kong node?

Choose VMOak M4 Branch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) or VMOak M4 Pro Canopy (M4 Pro, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD). Both are dedicated physical machines assigned to one order, not virtual machines. Catalog combinations are generally available to order; final status is returned in real time by the console.

Can I change Hong Kong to another node after submitting an order?

The node is part of physical device allocation, so confirm it before submitting. If delivery is not yet complete, sign in to the console and submit a ticket with the order number, current node, and reason for the change. The team will review available options based on the order status. Do not move unbacked-up data directly from a device already in use.
