    i have a UM790 pro with a 4070 ti super over oculink. its very capable of gaming. i went this direction due to space constraints in my gaming room. it was easy 2 do for a first time PC "build" as id always had laptops and consoles in the past. i can get good FRs of around 90-100 in 4k for wukong high settings for e.g. im very happy i did not get a laptop. with minis forum u can do a "bare bones" purchase where u dont have to re buy everything meaning i can take the mem and ssd and windows from my current set up and re-use it in a future mini PC upgrade witch i think is a great middle ground on upgrade ability between laptop and PC. if u have the space, PC is king but if your choosing between laptop and mini PC (which i think is a better comparison) mini PC wins easy.

    Comparing gaming discrete graphics vs integrated graphics and saying that it's comparable makes no sense at all. If you want it to be comparable, chose a mini-PC that has discrete graphics, like the HX99G or the G7 Pt.

    • @SmallBoxCentral
      @SmallBoxCentral 23 дні тому

      Perhaps I didn't make this clear enough - they scored almost the exact same in both CPU and Graphics benchmarks, If that's not a good enough reason to make a comparison of real world performance then I'm not sure what is.

      ​@@SmallBoxCentral​@SmallBoxCentral ​@SmallBoxCentral scoring close to the same in (Synthetic) Benchmarks is not real world performance which is why most people dont take it at face value and instead use it alongside other information, what they mean is a mini pc with a dedicated separate GPU, not whats integrated into the CPU, at that point its more of a GPU comparison instead, this doesnt take into consideration minipcs can be used as for emulation, and upscaling as well as frame generation technologies from Amd, but this still essentially CPU+GPU VS CPU+IGPU

    I bought a mini PC similar to this in March of this year (specifically a SER5 5660U model). And for the first 5-6 months I had it, it worked great (putting aside Windows 11's nonsense). Unfortunately now however, I'm facing a major problem with it. At random moments, the whole picture starts glitching like crazy after having the thing on for more than an hour or 2 (with green and purple showing). Sometimes immediately if I run more intense programs like Blender and such. Now there could be potential reason for it doing this, one being due to me stupidly leaving the thing on 24/7 aside from occasional resets, but I also have a feeling something inside the PC got screwed up or became loose. The only other problem tho is that... since I don't know how to fix tech or take it apart, I don't know what part inside is the source of the problem. Do you have any potential diagnosis for what it could be aside from me being stupid with it?

    • @SmallBoxCentral
      @SmallBoxCentral Місяць тому

      Very strange - it sounds like a defect with GPU. This isn't something that happens from just leaving it on 24/7 so you weren't wrong in doing that. A GPU issue isn't something you can fix with this because on this model it's built directly into the CPU. Beelink does have a 12 month warranty so if you have your proof of purchase I would recommend emailing their customer support - Warranty policy is here www.bee-link.com/pages/development-history Good luck!
