I had an aging Dell
I had an aging Dell XPS laptop...
I choose to look at mini PCs. And this AMD mini PC is simply Wow !
At home and at work I have multiple screens. So laptop is not necessary. The Geekom mini PC is simply just for me. Very light weight and small (very small but powerful) in my backpack. I develop web apps mostly of the time, and it is a huge benefit to carry this little thing with me.
I use JetBrains IDEs, that are heavy with a lot of files indexations and more. It handle that with no problems.
It has more connectivity than a slim laptop and I like it.
Two HDMI, two USB-C, fast connection to my Bluethoot headset, enough USB connections, it is perfect. I use a USB-C multi-connector to let all my keyboard, mouse, ethernet cable and more constantly connected at work. I use also the 2 HDMI connectors for the old monitors. Perfect !
And it is at least 3 times cheaper that a laptop !
I am very satisfied with this product.
