That's a lot of extra money for support and a logo.
Of course the ones on Newegg are barebone, but 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD will only bring that price up to around $700 USD for the Ryzen 7.
Lmao, this is exactly it.
FYI: 849 EUR (~$910 USD) incl 19% tax for the basic configuration with AMD Ryzen 5 7535U, 8GB RAM, and 500GB SSD storage.
$799.00 USD gets you the Mac mini with the same (maybe faster?) RAM and (slightly faster) SSD.
And it very comfortably beats the 7535U while consuming less energy & staying cooler.
Definitely a deal breaker [M2 Mac mini] for Windows x86 dependant workflows; not so much for Linux users tho.
I think AMD is the only one with a real chance at matching and maybe beating Apple in the mini PC space, but pricing and architectural differences still make it really challenging.
Eye-watering
You could get an Odroid H3+ for a lot cheaper.
I have JUST built a PC last week and it cost me exactly $645
Here is what it has, thought:
An 8 cores/16 threads AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with internal Radeon 8 graphics
AMD RX 580 graphics card. Older but still has 8 GB vram and it is 256bit and performes amazing
16GB of DDR4 3200 RAM
512GB nvme WD 770
1TB blue WD 2.5" SATA SSD
I mean....
Fairly reasonable specs, but they are phantasizing of ridiculously high prices.
I think it's just a standard asrock pc and you are just paying extra for the "support"
