Check the Xiaomi RedmiBook Pros. You'd be surprised.
- littlecranky67 3y agoThere are actually some devices that could complete on paper specs, like the Beelink GTR7 or other small form-factors. Problem is, they are made by some chinese manufacturers, and even though Xiami is not a small company, the build quality can vary, and availability is completely random. Especially the Beelink one with the AMD 7840 chips seems to be vaporware - there were youtubers and magazines reviewing it a couple of month back, but I was unable to find a retailer that actually has it, and it seems to have gone away from the homepage. They are also probably not very big on support and returns.

- littlecranky67 3y agoI don't think they will be even close to the gaming performance since they only have Intel iGPUs. No way this does 1080p@60 for some AAA games from 2-3 years ago. And those models with dGPU are way out of the price range of the basemodel Mac Mini.
- virtualritz 3y agoYou need to buy from China, e.g. via AliExpress[1]. Xiaomi Europe only sells the Intel variants. They have Ryzen APUs and additionally GPUs (the 2022 model had Nvidia, this year's has AMD). I have the 2022 15" Pro version and its a beast.
