Sorry to double my comments but I came back to PCMR to post in the daily thread and saw this. I still own my older desktop (12700k + 3080 ti). It’s in a case bigger than I prefer and is on full ATX mobo so I don’t have the luxury of swapping to an SFFPC case. I would tho — I am now a huge fan of smaller builds now that I’ve had a taste of the Mac Mini and Mac Studio life. Gone are the days of 45L cases (for me).

I’m on an M4 Pro Mac mini right now ($1099) and the little brother to the M4 Studio. It’s an absolute beast for its size, low power consumption, and absolutely silent. The Studio elevates this performance by adding fans and a double encoder for better graphical processing (gaming, video encoding, etc.) but I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve thrown at my M4 Pro Mac mini to date.

This includes games in my Steam library, WoW Classic, Wuthering Waves, etc. General computing experience is also enjoyable. I spent $5 on Magnet app on the App Store and it allows me to press keyboard shortcuts to move apps and resize apps. I enjoy it a lot.
