Does Mac mini work on a Mac without a notch?
Yes — Mac mini is not limited to a hardware cutout. NotNotch can present a floating top-screen surface, and the companion follows the connected display, not a laptop lid.

iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and older notebooks can still use Mac mini on a compatible display.
Why the cutout is optional
The product is a top-edge companion. The companion follows the connected display, not a laptop lid.
