[SOLVED] Mini desktops that can run lightroom/photoshop and rimworld

[UTO389]

Hello,
I'm looking for a small pc that I can carry on a plane that can run photo editing software and rimworld, a game that only utilizes a single core.
I don't game other than that so no gpu card is preferrable but an external gpu port is welcome.

Thank you

For carrying around, why not a laptop?

I find that laptops with high end cpus have high end gpu in it, driving the cost a lot.

What is your actual budget?

A desktop, no matter how small, has the added hassle of hauling around the monitor as well.

Up to 1000 usd but preferably lower than that. I am planning to buy a monitor after I land. I was using a laptop before.

This aircraft thing is a one time ride?

Yes, for atleast 2 years I think.

Then build a system when you get there.

A PC small enough to easily carry on an aircraft has its own issues.
Those issues are often more expensive than regular size components.
SFX size PSU, for instance.

Or, just build a regular size system and ship it to yourself. PC's are shipped all over the world, every day.

and so on... if you look at business class models you will find plenty with faster CPUs but no gaming video cards.
