      Compare the stats for the CPU, memory, and hard drive. Every one is slightly different, so I can’t tell you what to get.

      Form factor usually doesn’t matter. You’re not going to be looking at it all the time and showing it to people. It’s a desktop.

      They’re trying to trick you into not just comparing the specs and deciding on price. Pick a decent brand so you know the chipset is good and just look at the stats.

        Is Minisforum a good brand? Do they use quality parts in their miniPCs?

        Thinking of picking up one of those for server duty.

        In my head, I just want something I can leave plugged in for a few years. Something that can run Linux comfortably and can let me check out new cool things and do the occasional photo edit. My phone is very much my primary computing device.
