I don't know why we're sharing this. This is a bad purchase and a poor use-case. Also this guy just churns out these benchmark videos for Mini PCs like they're going out of style.

Sorry but can you explain why you think that?

You can buy an ATX form factor and get double the power for the same money. There's no sense in using mobile processors in desktop PCs.

I have a mini-PC from Minisforum (not this one) dedicated as a media computer in my living room. It can fit nicely inside the TV bench, which a regular sized computer wouldn't do. I like that I can play games like Horizon: Zero Dawn on it without any issue. I love it, and I gave about 800 USD for it.

I am planning getting a high-end rig for my office later (next year maybe?), and then I of course will not consider a mini-PC.

I found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.
