A Core i9 PC for $539?! The Beelink SEi13 Pro is Insane.

With a 115W MTP, underpowered when compared to AMD 4nm 35-54W cTDP offering, underperforming Iris Xe integrated graphics, and microphones & speaker not easily deleted. 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM was almost a nice touch, although it was reduced from 6400MT/s to 6000MT/s for some undetermined reason. $419 Aoo

Recommend a bare bones DDR5 based MiniPC

I have the GMKtec K8 Plus I'm very happy with! Haven't seen problems with any Linux distros. Has dual Intel i226V 2.5GbE NIC, dual 2280 Gen4x4 M.2 slots and OCuLink for x4 PCIe projects or a 3rd Gen4x4 NVMe. https://amzn.eu/d/0eLEfAnN

Help me understand why you want a mini PC for gaming.

In an attempt to simplify Valve's Steam Deck handheld, Linux kernel/driver advancements and AMD RDNA integrated graphics have brought gaming to NUCs unseen by "Wintel" since 2022. The RDNA3 Radeon RX 780M Integrated graphics from my 8845HS GMKtec K8 Plus and perform close to Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti deskt

Are mini pcs suitable to run Lightroom for photo editing? If so, what would I be looking at for a purchase?

Unless your specifically looking for Windows a Mac Mini M4 is perfect for running Lightroom. Otherwise I would suggest a mini PC with AMD RDNA Radeon integrated graphics and 32GB of memory for decent results, and OCuLink if you need to take performance to the next level. An Nvidia graphics card with
