The Mini is not a laptop. If you try to use it like some sort of portable, then
you're of course free to try, but Apple has not designed it to be a portable
computer, and so, if it doesn't work like that, they won't care that you

You can technically run Protools on a Mini, just like you can run it on an
iMac. However, that doesn't mean that you'd want to. Most all DAW systems,
Protools included, need two hard drives (one for system software, applications,
and plug ins, and a second for audio data), for best performance.
