GPUMini currently offers 4 regularly orderable nodes: Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), and Hong Kong. Each instance runs on one dedicated physical Mac mini—not a virtual machine—and supports remote development, continuous builds, and long-running experiments.
Node selection does not change the hardware specifications or billing period. Measure latency from your everyday work network first, then choose a region based on team locations and code-source proximity. Actual availability for every combination is returned in real time by the console.
Ideal for developers primarily located in Southeast Asia, and suitable as a centralized build node for distributed teams. For graphics desktop tasks that are sensitive to connection quality, measure continuously from your actual office network before deciding.
Ideal for development work accessed mainly from Japan and East Asia. If you frequently use the Xcode graphical interface, transfer build artifacts, or reconnect to a remote desktop session, compare jitter and packet loss on the Tokyo node first.
Suitable for users in South Korea and Northeast Asia, as well as teams running automated tasks in a nearby region. If team members are spread across multiple locations, measure SSH and remote desktop paths separately before selecting one region.
Suitable for teams whose main access locations are in South China and Southeast Asia. For highly interactive remote Mac desktops, compare it with the Singapore node under the same resolution and network conditions instead of judging by a single ping.
The table below uses a standard office broadband connection and 50 ICMP pings to each node over the public internet, recording the median. Tests were conducted on August 29, 2026. Use these figures for initial screening only; they do not represent fixed results for any provider or time of day.
| Test location | Network type | Singapore | Tokyo | Seoul | Hong Kong |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Southeast Asia office network | Wired broadband, 50 samples | 24 ms | 71 ms | 76 ms | 39 ms |
| South China office network | Wired broadband, 50 samples | 47 ms | 55 ms | 49 ms | 23 ms |
| Japan office network | Wired broadband, 50 samples | 74 ms | 18 ms | 34 ms | 51 ms |
| South Korea office network | Wired broadband, 50 samples | 79 ms | 36 ms | 16 ms | 53 ms |
Remote desktops are also affected by jitter, packet loss, bandwidth, and local Wi-Fi. Run three consecutive test rounds during actual working hours, and validate SSH, file transfers, and the graphical desktop separately.
GPUMini M4 Core and GPUMini M4 Plus are available in Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong. Combinations in the directory are generally orderable; the console returns real-time availability when you place an order.
| Configuration | Singapore | Tokyo | Seoul | Hong Kong |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPUMini M4 Core M4 · 16GB · 256GB | Available | Available | Available | Available |
| GPUMini M4 Plus M4 · 24GB · 512GB | Available | Available | Available | Available |
A reliable region-selection process should account for interactive latency, team locations, dependency resources, and operating hours. A node close to one team member may not be the best fit for the overall workflow.
From your real office network and usual working hours, run multiple ping rounds to each node. Record the median, peak, jitter, and packet loss, then rule out unstable paths first.
Graphical desktops are more sensitive to latency and jitter, while SSH builds and background tasks depend more on connection stability. If you use both, test them separately rather than relying on one metric.
Map frequent users, code repositories, and artifact transfer directions. For collaboration, choose the node that minimizes total waiting time instead of optimizing for just one person’s connection.
On each candidate node, complete code synchronization, dependency downloads, an Xcode build, log upload, and remote desktop reconnection. Record end-to-end time and failure points before choosing a long-term region.
Every regional page uses the same configurations and service boundaries. The only differences are node location, recommended access coverage, and reference network performance. On each regional page, you can still compare both configurations and all four rental periods.
After signing in to the console, open instance details to view the node, configuration, service status, and linked order information. All four nodes operate normally 365 days a year; when a connection issue occurs, first determine whether it originates in your local network, authentication, remote desktop, or a task running on the node.
When you need to verify an instance, order, or bill, sign in to the console and review the real-time information returned by the backend.
