My primary use case for the mini pc's is home entertainment - 4k streaming, console emulation, general light-ish PC gaming, that sort of thing. The 680m will play older things like Black Mesa, Fallout 3/4, Blur, Road Redemption and so on at 1080p and generally ~60FPS (running on a 60hz refresh TV). If you aren't adverse to FSR then these mini pc's will serve for more demanding titles as well, so they aren't a total failure on that front. Have not had much opportunity to test my 790pro yet (780m and DDR5 5600MT) but they seem around 30% faster overall on average.

Second, you need to go to the bios, change the vrai allocation to 8gig (you got 32, not a problem) and ajustement thr fan curve. The basic setting limits the fans and you lose a lot of performance over too much heat. It's decent, I usually play snowrunner and disblo4 medium settings with it

Maybe I will go for an external USB-C monitor with touch. For performing live music I would not need a keyboard and mouse. I also think there would be less fan noise than with a laptop as the pc is further away. Also in my opinion gaming laptops are heavy and battery life can be an issue. Edit: this week I changed my mind. I got the GPD WIN Max 2 with a 10" touch screen and a resolution of 2550 x 1600 and it has an amazing performance. Maybe not the best for gaming, but its ultra portable. I can play Age of Wonders on high (just started..) and World of Warcraft on Ultra settings in the older worlds.

Who with a limited budget buys a sound bar? I would lower the budget to make the comparison fairer, ok to include the monitor and the mouse, but that's about it. See how much the mini PC costs with that and then get a same priced laptop. Else it doesn't look fair to me. Having said that the laptop is clearly bottlenecking due to the lack of RAM, you can see it with both the CPU and GPU hovering around 50% utilization. Thanks for the video.

I moved from a 17" MSI running an 11th gen i7 and a 3050ti to a $200 bare bones UM560 with an AMD 5600H APU Mini PC (I had 32GB DDR4, and a 512 NVME laying around) 8GB of RAM dedicated to the GPU, not that it will use all that. I travel a lot and the mini PC has really shined connecting to the TVs in the hotels I spend my evenings in. I carry a 60% wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It is much easier traveling with the mini PC, I won't go back. With that said, I am limited with some newer games, so I will likely be buying an HX99G or an HX77G in the near future unless minisforum brings out a better dedicated GPU mini PC. I was watching the Khadas Mind series, but they have gone crazy on the prices, even with the desktop 4060 8GB in their GPU dock.

A PC tower can and always will outperform a laptop on any day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Way better cooling and allot more available power. Lap tops are very much convenient, and cable free, but operating them on their own battery power is sub-standard at best. As soon as you plug them into their own power supply, well, it immediately performs a ton better, but destroying the concept of: "cable free". A PC tower is by far a way better choice.
@MatchaCutie14 6 ай бұрын
Towers vs Laptops are always a user-case scenario. Every has different needs and wants. Obviously laptops are going to be limited by power so they will perform less than their desktop counterpart but that gap is getting smaller with every gpu/cpu release (which I think is quite impressive). Laptops are great for portabilty and multi-use. If you wanna game, surf the net, watch movies and/or work inbetween flights and shifts, then its perfect. Laptop can be as simple as clam-shut, put in bag, and move on.
