Mini PCs Are Booming : Worth Replacing Your Desktop?

[Urvashi]

Tiny PCs like Intel NUCs and Mac Minis pack serious power now. Are they enough for work or gaming?

Mini PCs are a compact, energy-efficient alternative to traditional desktops, ideal for basic tasks, saving space, and reducing power consumption. They’re affordable but may lack upgradeability and struggle with high-performance tasks like gaming or video editing.

I don't think so as a replacement, but as a second option, yes. I find it quite useful and above all very convenient that it has everything in one. It is very small, perfect to take on a trip if you are a person who travels a lot. I like them. I don't use them as a replacement for a PC because it has hardware limitations, but I do have them as a complement. I have 3 miniPCs, I love them, I see a great future for them.

There was a time when the size of computers was quite big. However, things have been changing as of now. Computers are becoming more and more compact. This was anticipated a long time ago.

Not because many mini PCs do not have a video card to place, they only come with an integrated one for life, in addition you cannot improve the processor and they are also not made for prolonged and extended use like a desktop PC, so there is still enough left to replace the desktop PC, until they improve that you will not be able to replace it, if they manage to improve that they definitely will because its compact design is perfect for being transported

A mini PC might be a better alternative as it is portable, making it easy to move around.
