mini computers


Many say that recently AMD has the same or more performance than Intel for less cost. However most refurbished PCs are Intel simply because Intel was far better then. So if you buy a refurbished computer go for Intel. Stay clear from AMD. AMD may look like a bargain but "you get what you pay for" as people say. This means if you pay for cr@p you get cr@p. I would rather play safe and pay a little more to buy Intel.

I sort of went in the opposite direction. Microsoft since the MSDOS days. I finally got demon possessed by Steve Job's, as my Android friends say. But I still need a PC. I am not allergic to intel CPU's, the Lenovo has been doing great on its dual core i5. Basically it is going to boil down to what I get the best deal

Heck i might replace my Gaming Laptop at some point with a Mini PC that can run Windows 11, and Handle Games like Secondlife, Maybe Lawn Mower Simulator as well, Police Officer Simulator : Patrol stuff like that.

As 1 i don't travel much or go places, 2 having a 2nd system that is maybe a little easier to upgrade Ram/storage on than the Laptop is a win in my book, but i haven't fully decided on a model yet that i will purchase at some point in the future---Might even go with an AMD Ryzen based one Or Intel if an Intel Model meets the requirements for the few games i'd run on it, nothing too demanding

The Beeline Mini PC's looks just what I was looking for. I have never been much of a gamer, I sort of stopped with Prune, and Angry Birds. But my bench mark has alway been the ROG motherboards of ASUS, they have fantastic audio chip sets. The Beelink Series 7 looks great. powerful and ungradable.

Looking at he AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS it draws from 35 to 54 watts, it has a base clock speed of 3.8 gHz, and a max boosted speed of 5.1 gHz. What is really selling me is it has a Radeon GPU.
