This is a bad purchase and a poor use-case.
Sorry but can you explain why you think that?
I have a mini-PC from Minisforum (not this one) dedicated as a media computer in my living room. It can fit nicely inside the TV bench, which a regular sized computer wouldn't do. I like that I can play games like Horizon: Zero Dawn on it without any issue. I love it, and I gave about 800 USD for it.
I am planning getting a high-end rig for my office later (next year maybe?), and then I of course will not consider a mini-PC.
I found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.
That's probably true. However, I'm sure there are people out there who have very limited space and do not need that extra power for the games ey play.
Given the world these last few years, there have been many people who have been forced to downsize and get or become room mates or live in an RV. This doesn't necessarily mean a person can't enjoy a little downtime. The primary point is that every inch counts. Or so, she says.
Please re-read my post. I said multiple times that a small form factor is crucial in some situations.
ATX = full desktop form factor Mini-ITX = smaller OP video = compact
It's not always about money. It's not always about raw power either.
Yup, it’s bottom of the barrel content. He also constantly engagement baits by asking people to comment if they want to see X or Y running on the machines he features, and he never actually does whatever he’s saying. It’s just a content farm.
He used to be good especially when the steam deck was first being released he did some good early videos on it. However it seems like in the last year or so every single minipc/handheld/etc vendor started sending him free review units and he feels compelled to do a video on every single one. He's probably got rooms full of awesome tech stuff that isn't being used, or he sells it.
I kinda stopped paying attention to him when he said oculink 4i has 8 lanes of pcie, or something like that.
Also him paying windows 11 any mind at all while acknowladging steam on Linux works fine for every game he tests is pretty cringe.

Wut? But is good for comparison.
I watch a fair bit of this YT Channel. He plays with / evaluates a lot of hardware that I'd otherwise never see or even know existed. I also like that he evaluates using both Windows and Linux since I'm interested in both and from his perspective it widens his audience.
i 100% agree. i love eta primes dedication to optimizing his gaming experience. linux, windows, fringe handhelds... i love his ish -he's always feels honest and genuine
Looks like one of the 8-Bit Do ultimate controllers. I don't recognise the stick/body colour combination, my black ones were just black
