I am keeping an eye out for a cheap M1 Mac Mini on my local Craigslist because once you yank it out of its huge metal case, which is like half PSU, the board itself is quite small. Apparently, the PSU only outputs 12W across the entire power connector, so easily powered by a barrel jack. I quite like the idea of playing around with macOS as a SBC OS, but even just designing a smaller case with sufficient cooling would be fun too.

What is your source? Because, according to the link shared by op, they can consume up to 50W or 100W depending on the model.

Whoops, meant 12V not 12W. Meaning it can be powered off of a big enough battery bank or a simple barrel plug power brick.
