Just got a mini pc with AMD, which can hold its ground against a mac mini, but costs ~4 times less (602€ vs 2259€). Comes with 32GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD, and Linux

Comes with 32GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD, and Linux works great!

- NavinF 3y agoThat's a desktop. I mentioned battery life because I was talking about laptops and tablets. btw price grows exponentially with single threaded performance, which in turn determines responsiveness. Your link shows that the M2 Pro is much more performant even compared to your desktop. 2689 vs 2023 is a huge gap: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_7_7735hs-vs-apple_m2_pro_10_cpu_16_gpu#:~:text=6%20(Single%2DCore)-,Geekbench%206,-is%20a%20benchmark https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-amd_ryzen_7_7735hs...
- mambru 3y agoSure, it's a desktop with a 35-50W TDP, M2 Pro is around 30W? I agree M2 is better, but not at 4x the price for 1 My responsiveness is great, and Linux experience for my UC (dev) is much better.

- NavinF 3y agoTDP is a useless spec and certainly not relevant when comparing battery life. That link shows similar results: 4,154 vs 3,399
