Depends on what you want. If you're looking for bang for the buck, mini PCs in NUC footprint, with oomph that can play some games too are terrible at that. They'll cost you nearly as much as a budget gaming laptop from Lenovo using the same APU and that come with a screen, keyboard and touchpad as bonus. For value/money, standard ATX size PCs rule.

That makes sense. I also find it hard to justify getting a mini PC when the Steam Deck exists. I'm sure that if this existed back in 2012 when I was in college, I would have just gotten one of these.
