Well I'd like better cooling than a laptop, which should make it last longer. But a full size tower just doesn't seem necessary anymore.
Say for modest/patient gaming.
Well personally for me not a handheld because I still want a computer for office and things like that (and not cheap one because the more RAM the better). I've seen people fiddle with their steam deck but I don't want to bother with that.
So mini itx then?
I meant fiddle to get it to work as a desktop.
I think user asked for a small factor PC, just like intel nuc. IMO intel nuc is a perfect PC for a work desktop. They can even mount on the back of the monitor - excellent feature. Not sure if any other brand has such feature.
I get your point and I agree with you, but let me clarify what I was talking about.
The idea is a very small office where people don't focus on working with computer, but rather use computer to help certain tasks, process payments, save something to MS Excel and so on. Those people don't really need laptops, so stationary devices are perfect.
Just focus on what I wrote. I am the "admin" of such "small office".
Intel nuc is perfect solution for me, the performance is more than enough and small size factor really takes the cake. I am really sad that NUC goes away and hope that soon there would be alternative. ✌️
