You usually don't need a PC that small. For this price ($250) you can just get a Beelink with a better CPU. Or an older model mini PC for $120.
Don't let these manufacturers convince you that you need their latest and greatest whatever.
But the form factor is gorgeous!
That said, do you mind if I pick your brain as you appear to be quite learned on the subject. What do you think of these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B096FQGLDK
Compare the stats for the CPU, memory, and hard drive. Every one is slightly different, so I can't tell you what to get.
Form factor usually doesn't matter. You're not going to be looking at it all the time and showing it to people. It's a desktop.
They're trying to trick you into not just comparing the specs and deciding on price. Pick a decent brand so you know the chipset is good and just look at the stats.
Is Minisforum a good brand? Do they use quality parts in their miniPCs?
Thinking of picking up one of those for server duty.
