hi, i want to buy mini pc cause i like its size and i want to play football manager 24 but is it possible that i play many hours maybe 8 daily. are they practical , I read they overheat. Also Im multitasker I could open 2 browsers each one with like 20 tabs and excel with 10 sheets. The sheet not always but the browsers always also I could play music while browsing. My budget is 500-600$.

I have a Minisform Venus UM790pro and have been using it since February for gaming and hosting a couple of servers. It’s currently available on the minisforum website for $599 with 32Gb Ram and a 1TB SSD. I think this would be perfect for your needs, if not a little overkill.

I’ve never had any overheating issues with it, even when playing slightly more demanding games like Horizon Zero Dawn for many hours. Its 1080p gaming performance is very solid. It has a couple of issues with poor WiFi and Bluetooth signal but if you can work around those (usb dongles fix it) it’s a great system.
