For daily driver for me anything with good ventilation and for gaming the acemagic but one absolutely must format the provided NVME or replace it as there is old malware and the windows image has been customized to mute and cripple windows defender. On windows the CPU mitigations must be disabled or the integrated GPU runs hot. Usage before: 83%, after 13%. I still use win11 for some games for the anti-cheat crap.

The mini-PCs are vulnerable to graphics errors in some video games that can perma-brick them. Many people ran into this issue with Starfield and one specific multi-beam gun turning their mini-PC into a paper-weight.

For cooling I get a desktop sized HEPA filter unit and remove the panel on the mini-pc that permits access to memory/nvme. Enough air will get past the memory/storage sockets to cool the CPU.
