Getting into PC, Indie or Retro Games? Check out this awesome Mini PC | Geekom Mini IT12 Review

I like this mini PC. Sometimes you cannot buy or build a normal PC and you just want something to connect to your TV for casual usage.

I don't think that the performance on the Switch is that bad. At least they don't censor on the Switch.

Still no a rated games though so nekopara with no h scenes

[@redmage8719]

@@SuiteLifeofDioBrando I personally think that Nekopara is better without them.

Well, many games are subHD... (Like the Xenobalde series) and it shows.

@@redmage8719They are definitely good even without H scenes. But I feel like I'm missing out on content, personally. Everything in these games just feels very unique.

The graphical and performance issues is because Intel Xe Graphic driver. It's getting good lately but still behind AMD or Nvidia driver.

Ooh, I also lost my Risen save file a couple years ago. Devs added cloud saves only last year. I do like how this little box looks. Probably not very powerful but the idea of putting PC in a pocket with you does allure me. Like it's easier getting it with you to the friend's house than laptop.

One of the biggest issues we commonly see with PCs like these is "diminishing returns". When the price points get higher, the GPUs don't get better, and at that point you just buy a console or a Gaming Laptop. The only other reason to buy one once you hit the $550+ range is for PC specific games or yar har har on specific occasions. Otherwise, the performance will as good or worse than a console on lower-end titles and far worse than consoles on mid-higher end games. The price range is enticing for emulation because it's the easiest way to setup a quick emulation box or something to manage a server, maybe a low powered daily driver to save your gpu and cpu cycles on your better half, etc. The problem is that a lot of niche games tend to hit the mid-range at this point, so they'll be "playable", but dishing out a couple hundred more will get you an actual experience with a discreet GPU (on sale, you'll get far more than that). So the only real reason to spend $550+ is incredibly niche cases that most people won't be looking into one for (Need a storage server? Buy a NAS, it'll cost you as much anyway. Want a pure emulation box that doesn't need to handle anything above PS2 or Gamecube (because there tends to be issues with those games anyway, texture glitches, bugs, etc etc, c'mon emulation isn't perfect, especially on later generations)? You'll find a Mini PC that can do that for around $100 cheaper or worse a handheld that is $200 cheaper if you want to be mobile.). I'd only buy another Mini PC to setup a dedicated arcade cabinet style "sleeper" PC.

Ok off the bat I like this one due to the storage expandability and due it not being a low powered cpu. I've seen other version that only have the option for one storage medium NVME (internal) and one ram slot. This is a lot better, especially with the 2.5" drive option.

i live in the EU, where do I order it?

[@MegaSegawa]

For that price you could get a far better pc with better upgradability in the longer run. The only upside is the power consumption but again if it can't run half of your library what's the point. Just get a am4 5600 with a rx6600 for around 700$

Please you could talk about your opinion for atelier ryzas anime? I'm not a fan game though I really liked the anime besides some flaws here and there for instance the director tried to make a "Maho shoujo" anime on the most part of episodes and for me the best part of the show was her adventures and self discoveries with her party members.. And the final fight was simply amazing. BTW you could talk about this show as a fan of the games I'll really appreciate it.
