The biggest advantage of mini computers is their exquisite compactness, making them more suitable for integration into home environments. They can release performance comparable to the latest all-purpose laptops in less than 1L of space, while often providing more diverse interfaces. Compared to laptops, they only lack a battery, keyboard, and display. If you do not have a need for mobile office work, the cost of a mini PC + monitor is far lower than that of a laptop with the same configuration, and the overall performance is not inferior to similarly priced DIY builds.

High-Performance Dedicated Graphics Platforms
If you want to play AAA games or engage in professional creation, you need to choose a mini computer equipped with a dedicated graphics card. Among these products, there are those with built-in mobile graphics cards and those that fit desktop graphics cards, but their sizes often exceed 2L, which somewhat deviates from the term mini.
