Hi all,
I've been looking to purchase a new PC, mainly for video editing and some minor gaming.
As I'm moving around quite frequently (about once a year) I'm a bit reluctant to commit to a desktop tower.
For that reason I've been looking at some mini PCs (HP Z2, Intel NUC, Asus Vivo Mini),
but as far as I can see a mini PC would be more expensive than a laptop with similar specs (i.e. i7 CPU, 16gb RAM, 512gb nvme SDD, Nvidia GeForce RTX or Quatro T1000).
So I'm wondering if a mini PC has any merit at all?
Of course I could always buy a desktop tower and take it with me, just trying to explore some different options.
I realize this is quite a vague question, but is the performance difference between desktop and laptop (with similar specs) really that huge?
Would love to hear some opinions on this!
Cheers,
M.
