I'm seriously considering this mini PC to sit under the telly for streaming Netflix, HBO etc. It's so small that we'll barely notice it!
It's about the size of a small book.

Shame about the lack of gpu in that build. I know there are some that do have gpu, but I wouldn't touch one without a gpu. For those who don't know what a GPU is, its the same as CPU, but for graphics, hence the G instead of the C.
$220K? what kind of inflation do you have in Argentina?

The Ryzen 5500U is an APU for mobile/laptop use and has Radeon Graphics integrated in the chip, hence the tiny footprint.

Good purchase and nice write up.
I bought a similar mini PC in July. And finally just now daisy-chained two monitors using only one port from the PC. That was a first for me. 32gb 1TB. It’s a great upgrade for wife needing graphic design, document illustration, image editing, and whatever other work that had become almost impossible on an ancient laptop. Fraction of the price of a new laptop, and nicely hidden via vesa mounted to the rear of monitor.

Very nice!
They are amazing little machines.

I have to say I’m fascinated by this because whilst I know of them, I did not know about them. Nor do I know anyone who has one. (Well I do now obviously). But if I had a more permanent base I would buy one of these now in a heartbeat. Because it seems to me it would serve all my purposes at a very cheap price.

Really I find a permanent base is not needed, since these are smaller than a laptop in luggage. This is why my first one in my argentina luggage was a brand new 2009 Mac mini that still works today. The Mac mini is still an option, plus the name brands like Dell make some too, though both the price and the size are not like these new mini-minis
If you stay somewhere for 1-3 months, you buy a local mid range monitor, and carry small wireless/bluetooth keyboard mouse. A USB keyboard might be borrowed for emergency reinstalls.
