Mini PC Vs Desktop: More Fair Than You Think

I compare a tiny PC to a big PC.

It works on Java version 1.19.3

One day motherboard manufacturers will learn that spraypainting the back of the IO shield black from the factory instantly adds gamer appeal

Got the wife a newer PC as her aging celeron needed replacing, bought a refurbished dell optiplex i5-8500 but was considering one of these mini PC’s. In hind sight I should have bought her a mini PC, she does crafting and has programs she runs for that and cruises the internet and some YouTube tutorials, very light usage. These mini PC’s are impressive for the casual user.

That last sentence disturbed me, made me think (which I better hadn't) and made me laugh. Well done :D

RE: The Swing

I'm scarred for life now. Thanks Dawid!

All PC builds require a blood sacrifice. Good to see you appeased the PC gaming gods here!

"With enough effort can fit inside your person."

That is a disturbingly succinct way to put it.

OH GOD ...that rear I/O HDMI with back plate metal in it

[Max_Ivanov_Pro]

Dawid's builds always have that perfect balance of humor and informative content. Keep up the great work!

[hecker]

Didn't expect the mini pc to be chiller than big boi
Mini PC's are evolving at scary rates !!!

[Tankdmps]

everything aside, that rx 6600 is an absolute steal

[premiumsomdier]

"in 10 years we will all be gaming on pc's that are tiny enough they can fit inside your person" 🤣🤣

The highlight of the week is when Dawid uploads a new video! Please never stop, I do live for these small moments of happiness!

06:22 Dawid forgot to bend the IO-shield's HDMI brace-tab inwards so now it's blocking the HDMI port. He'll either have to unscrew the motherboard, move it aside and bend it in or bend it in and out until it breaks off.

Now put ur custom built pc against a $600 prebuilt lol

[Styrofoam-ee]

For people who don't know or don't want to learn, with even kids who play Roblox or Minecraft, it's not a bad idea to pick one of these up for relatively cheap. Cheapest one goes for $150 honestly though past $500-$600 is a bit ridiculous, you're better off learning how to build a PC if you're going past that price range. Ofc the cheaper the Mini PC the less likely it's going to perform well with gaming, overall it's a pretty good market for Mini PC's right now. A lot of parents and businesses could use these.

working on computers can often result in injuries surprisingly. Can't even begin to count the amount of times working on a older or vintage computer I've cut my hand on sharp metal

[lonergothonline]

now imagine the steamdeck competitors with the new thinner, blower style fans, with newer hdr-whatever-oled screens, which themselves probably would be running at 1080p120, with an optional lower screen display akin to the nintendo DS, for maps/macros/quick shortcuts, heck on on screen keyboard or whatever.

running at 15w and outputting low-med setting games easily.

When he says "screwing and cable management" - is that a reference to the computer or the sex swing?

Dawid, love your content. The humor is always just right. :)
