I'm enjoying my new mini-pc. can barely hear it and it's desktop height and about 2 feet away.
I got the minisforum Em680
6800U/32GB LPDDR5 @6400Mhz/512GB NVME/2x USB 4 - only downside so far is having to use one of the USB 4 ports for PD power... but had a USB C dock/switch/adaptor spare, so using the passthrough on that, got mouse/keyb plugged into that too. I upgraded the network on it to a 2.5Ghz USB 3.0, all working fine. It's plenty fast enough for most of my day to day tasks, in fact feels a bit snappier than my desktop, whilst using about 1/4 the power. It only cost £399, so pretty good. I haven't given it a comprehensive test of all the abilities, but ran a few stress tests and benchmarks etc to confirm all is working well. I honestly am so happy with it, especially the very small footprint, the low power and noise, 16 threads and fast lpddr5 ram. I still have a bit of arranging to do with my desk area now, but looking OK so far.
