I have a laptop also (Lenovo Y700). Because I need the compilation power, it basically uses about the same amount of power as my custom built system. The difference is that it has its own battery, which changes (a little) the way it interacts with the van's power system.
An M1 Mac Mini max power draw according to Google is ~40W. Google tells me a 24 inch monitor is 20-60W. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong numbers, but that looks like a 100W thing? Perhaps that's totally off base though, or not comparable numbers. But I have to imagine that a laptop (or laptop-based infra) is gonna be better for you (even if you need the power in theory).
