Just for Show?

I almost bought one. The little screen just screams fun but when it came down to it, I just saved the money and got a GMKTEC K8 plus. The reviews for this unit rightly point out that it's really hard to do anything useful with the screen - the scaling isn't very good. The port layout on the G flip i

Steam Machine's official startup movie has been revealed, and it's not too different from the Steam Deck's

own SFF is bigger and has bigger power draw. Not interested in that. I'm either going for the Steam machine, or a GMKTec K8 Plus / K11. Just waiting on the Steam Machine price to make my final decision.

Are Docked Mini PC + External GPU Setups Actually Worth It?

Yes and no. If you have a Oculink connection the loss of frames is marginal, via thunderbolt it is noticeable. I had a GMKTec K8 plus with a 5070TI connected via Oculink and it was amazing and now connected via pcie directly the performance in most of the games are maybe 5-7 fps so not much more.

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

Base mac mini m4 worth over minis forum or beelink?

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
