Hey ya’ll. For the last 30 years I been building my own computers (since the old 386sx/Voodoo days). Last time I built one was back in 2018. I currently drive a semi truck and use a laptop, but these new mini-pcs intrigue me.
My current setup is an Asus Laptop I just bought last year. It does the job. Plays Wow (solo stuff mostly sometimes with a friend), Factorio, Satisfactory, etc with no issues. I dont do FPS games like COD but I might play like 7 days to Die.
I been looking at the new mini-pcs and dont want to spend TOO Much. Obviously the 1k+ models work just fine but Im looking at ther 300-500 range. Sometimes my semi truck is alone and dont want to have a 2k unit to entice someone. I do have a 32" 4k Monitor I use currently for my PS5 mainly to watch movies and play RDR1/2/GTA5
Im looking at something like this:
|CPU Mode| AMD Ryzen 7
|CPU Speed| 4.75 GHz
|Graphics Card |Integrated|
|Graphics Coprocessor| AMD Radeon 680M
|Memory Storage Capacity| 3600 MB
|Memory Slots Available 3
How will it handle constant Factorio for like 6 hrs? Would I need better cooling power (comes with 2 fans). Say like directing an A/C vent to the inlet areas lol.
The laptop works but its a hassle to set it up every time (Laptop pad, plug it in, start it up, etc) and would like something I could just turn on, grab the wireless kb/mouse and play.
