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!

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.
