I have been looking for a small form pc for a while and whilst I have seen the refurbished ones on eBay posted I have not seen a new pc with these specs at this price bracket. Maybe I am not looking hard enough. Let me know. Camel has this item at its lowest price being $859.99

Thank you. Definitely cheaper but the specs are not comparable.
Of course not comparable.
I posted it for those who might be looking for a cheaper option for something more than enough for day to day use.comparing a MG3 $20k piece of shit China car with a Lexus
strangely i would say spending the extra is worth it in the end
dont spend $239… save up until you can get something workable
@tonyjzx: Its not always about the affordability.
Some people prefer to spend for what they really need. I bought it as I just needed a small PC to hook it to my TV, hence, this was more than enough for my need. I can spend additional $239 on something else that I need.
Massive difference in CPU performance
Operating system: OS
Windows 11?
Is you link on the deal page?
No its w11 home which is stated further along in several purchaser reviews
I saw them too. Some reviews may not be on this model.
whats the cheapest Mini PC that can play DotA on max settings? Thats all I need. I'm super happy with my mac laptop but I miss DotA and that plays pretty crap on a Mac
Check benchmarks for GPUs. I'd guess something around a basic dedicated GPU, or maybe some of the new high end integrated GPUs maybe?
There's videos of DotA running well on M4 and M1 Max on YouTube
I have an M1 and it runs pretty crap on medium settings the last time I tried played about 3 years ago. Pretty sure I saw a video on YouTube that showed it was not running too well on max settings even on an M4 mini
Frame rate looks ok here. Maybe there's been improvements

Consider GEFORCE Now. Ive been using that and depending on your wants could work.
need good internet thoWas cheaper than buying a 4080 for me buy a long shot
I would be going for an AMD CPU if you are looking to game with these mini PCs. Far better integrated GPU. Also, make sure you have two memory sticks installed. Mine came with a single 16gb stick, adding a second one improved 3D performance significantly.
How much of an improvement does AMD cpu's have over intel ones for gaming? Is it that big?
THe integrated High end AMD IGPU match it with the entry level Nvidia GPUs like 3050 etc
Intel GPU's integrated graphics are no where near that
What am I missing here - following the link takes you to Amazon selling a box with an i5 cpu rather than the i9 quoted in the deal ?
I think that listing has just been removed with only the i5 option remaining.
oh….. a day late and a dollar short like usual :-\
Consider yourself lucky, I was 600 dollar short 🤣
Am i9 for that price was pretty good.
Pity it's gone now.
