What's stopping you from mounting the mini pc to the back of the monitor, and using this setup to replace your laptop/desktop?

You mean ADD TO YOUR FLEET commie

what's the advantage of a mini PC vs a laptop.

why would i do that?

>>108735170
actually, now that you mention it I probably could 3D-print a hanging-over thing to dangle my Mac mini from my Studio Display’s stand
but it’s fine where it is on the desk

Why wouldn't I just... use a laptop?

Laptop parts aren't as replacable. Mini PCs are modular. Also it is cheaper than laptop of the same specs.

I kind of want to do something like this.

On the other hand, it's way messier to carry all that shit around.

>>108735994
Do you use your laptop while walking?
>>
>>108735170
At that point, just get a big tablet. My setup down the road will just be a tablet and a PC housed somewhere I can remote into for anything I can't run on a tablet.

So fucking what? I've never had a part fail in a laptop.

>>108735879
Mini PCs? Can you give an example? Only things that come up when I hear mini pcs are rasp pi's (they are for DIYers and are not modular) and mini ITX builds (expensive).

Also, laptops are good value and repairable. Just don't get something that copies apple's designs.

What's stopping me is that I use a dock with my mac mini + a monitor arm
This piece of shit (the mac mini) has low storage because I refuse to pay 500€ more for 1TB. So I attach a dock with an SSD enclosure, which saved me a lot of money (I already had a spare SN770 I paid 90€ for and the dock was less than that).

FPBP. I've been using a mini pc of one kind or another with my TV for nearly a decade.

>>108736077
NTA but I do. I have a GPD laptop.

>fold and go
beat that
