Something with the Ryzen 780m or 890m integrated graphics & that has a oculink or USB4/thunderbolt port My vote is the Gmktec k8 plus it has been a little powerhouse for me it plays most games med-high settings 1080p 50-60fps and with the oculink port you can buy a eGPU dock and graphics card down t

If you live in any part of the Apple ecosystem the Mac Mini M4 is a plus! My granddaughter has a 24GB Mac Mini M4 and lives almost exclusively in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone/iPad/Apple watch/Apple TV/etc). Having said that, she still has a Windows laptop she has to use a couple of times a week for a

I've been rocking a beelink ser8 for about a year now so not long enough to tell reliability but I haven't had issues. I use it as a home file server, Plex server, and calibre library manager. I hooked up a jbod to add more drives and it's been great.

You don't say exactly what you were doing soundwise, but if you're playing guitar, the AXE should be doing direct mo

red dead 2 isn't gonna play on high settings on anything aside from like a 780m igpu, even the highest end mini pcs aren't 4k gaming machines otherwise people wouldn't spend 2k on a graphics card alone. i'd look for a beelink ser8 on sale, got one with 32gb of ram for $460 on sale and it has handled

We love our beelink ser8 8845 we got 6 months ago. The wife uses it for her side gig, plus I use it for 3d printing and other generic home items. She even games with it. It’s a work horse. Now we did splurge a bit and bought it with 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSDs.

Probably Beelink SER8 8745hs 32Gig specifically. Don't touch the 24Gig config. It's not about the size. It's the memory configuration on the PCB. They're hurting iGPU performance. They are dead silent with great temperature management and uses Crucial exclusively for memory/SSD.
