Is this Kogan Mini PC with Ryzen 3 any good?

I'm thinking it for my son to play some games (BeamNG drive, Sims 4, XPlane). No Fortnite :)
Thanks.

It's a strange product:
- Can the ram be upgraded?
- You probably want more storage.
- Only one video output?
- 4k is only at 30Hz, eww.
- Why does it have a serial port? LolYou'd be better off with a second hand SFF desktop and a 1050ti. Better gaming performance, space for more drives and will probably last longer.
I'd probably treat this like a laptop - downsized non-upgradable parts. The small form factor is the real seller here, and whether or not it's worth the premium is entirely up to you (or the OP, in this case).
you could get ryzen 5 + rx580 for that price
Good PC - awful price. $750 for just a 2200g/vega 8 (an iGPU)
If you didn't need a small form factor - Techfast would be way better value for money. If you did it might be worth looking into the refurb PC + 1050ti/rx 570 (depending on if you can fit the 570 in power wise/in general).
I built a 2200g for my home server for <$350. The 2200g is a good processor but I'm not sure I'd want to game on it. It'd probably be fine, though.
The only good thing about this might be the size. Even then, lack of upgradability is a problem.
Grab a techfast computer for the same price and it'll be twice as good.
I've priced up 2200g desktops for like 400 bucks. Not worth it.
$49 delivery seems like a rip-off for that size package.
No no no. You can get a much better Desktop with $699 + $49 delivery. Does it have to be a Mini PC? I'm on mobile, hard to search, but I'm very sure someone else can recommend you a MUCH better one.
