    It's all about the Mac Mini/ Intel NUC form factor. If it is your thing, I guess it's OK. If you do not know what your "thing" is, Best Buy and Micro Center always have entry level gaming laptops on sale with a similar price point and better performance (Dedicated Graphics Card). Same thing applies to pre-built and roll- your -own. I am just happy Tech Dweeb got another free PC. That is all that matters anyway.

    I like the integrated GPUs that come with Ryzen. I have a Ryzen 5 with the radeon whatever and it is pretty surprisingly decent for a lot of things. If this one can do that well with Cyberpunk, it can definitely run anything I want to run on it just fine. The price point is still a little less than I expect to pay for my eventual desktop replacement, and I have Prime. ;)

    I've got a good 2-3 years remaining for my current desktop and I'm definitely leaning towards one of these mini PCs when it's time to upgrade it. I really am tired of paying $300-500 for a "good" video card alone so if the power of the iGPUs keeps up I'm highly tempted to go this route in the future. It's just so much more...minimal

    Hmmm seems like a cool little box, won't lie though, kinda would have loved to see the thermal temperature.
    Just cause it is usually one of the biggest marks against these small boxes, but that's not how you review stuff these days.
    Seems fairly capable, but yeah even for all that 650$ ouch yeah everything is more expensive today, and you would have a hard time putting a full tower together for the same price, I just find it hard to spend that much on a computer of this size with a limited upgrade path.
    As stated it is a hard thing to do but if you keep expectations in check then you can put a tower together and still have a upgrade path, but more than likely your going to have to buy used and open box parts
