How mini are we talking? You can build a small form factor tower with an excellent upgrade path, depending on the size requirements.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Look at a laptop such as the Lenovo Y540 or Asus TuF A15 then. Should be able to get a Ryzen 5 4600H or i7 9750H (both hex-core) and a 1650/1660

I've heard good things about the Intel NUC Hades Canyon....

 

In terms of laptops Lenovo Legion Y545 is supposed to be pretty good I think....

Y540* - the Y545 is an overheating mess.

As for Hades Canyon - drivers are fucked. Intel haven't released a new driver for the GPU in years.
