The 1050 Ti has not aged well, so a low bar to clear. If one wishes to play older games and not get a neutered experience, the 1050 Ti will probably crush it, like in GTA5.

He mentions desktop pcs as being different, but ignore the comparison to laptops. Those two have roughly the same volume, with the laptop coming with a screen, keyboard, portability. There are $800 4060 laptops that will run circles around the sub 1650 performance. Needing this much cpu performance and poor graphics is a niche within a niche. I find the fascination with these mini-pcs to be odd. They remind me of the tunnel vision that reviewers seem to have with handhelds where they don't look broadly at the market. Integrated graphics are always going to be turds. Sub $300, maybe it has a place. $630 is a hell no.
