With the death and selling to Asus, the Intel NUC is out of the competition. It's a 2 mini-PC arms race now. - Miniforum UM is slightly better for gaming and durability. - Beelink GTR series is better for easy setup (scales for large volume of new hires) and fingerprint login. I like the Beelink GTR series more, but durability matters.

Beelink should release a power plug for that has the magnetic end on one side and usb c on the other so you can use third party power cables as an option. Love the magsafe style connector, but having third party options for it would make it better

Wow the GPU in this thing is incredible! I remember barely scraping by 40fps with my RX 480 when Cyberpunk launched and this IGP can manage 80fps (probably Cyberpunk has been optimized a lot as well in the time) I can't wait to start getting notebooks with this CPU in them. I don't want dedicated GPUs on notebooks, they universally make the portable experience much worse by using a bunch of space and requiring lots of cooling that don't do anything when you are unplugged. A fast iGP on the other hand works beautifully either plugged or unplugged.

Very interesting but it was a bit of letdown regarding the fps of Shadow of tomb raider. However, my main comment is regarding the proprietary power supply. After you removed the casing, it was not clear but it appears that the cable extends from outside and it just plugs into the motherboard. If its as simple as it seems, i reckon it would not be hard to modify it into a barrel plug type charger.
