The steam deck has a fan which can be quite noticeable, same for these AMD mini pcs, cold and quiet is a stretch. I have one running as a proxmox server though, 64gb ram and expandable storage, the Mac mini can't compete with that.
- mnky9800n 2y agoTbh I have steam deck oled and I never once noticed the fan running on any game. So ymmv.

- esperent 2y agoOne of these? Looks to be slightly smaller than the Mac mini, I wonder how the performance compares? https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-ser9-ai-9-hx-370 https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-ser9-ai-9-hx-370
- 5350-uiop-1130 2y agoyes that one. i'm sure the m4 is more powerful on paper, within the apple ecosystem, and running apple software. but i prefer to be free and run what i want. also as someone who was really jaded on tech, i found these amd gpu's to be really amazing. i still appreciate what the mac mini stands for, low energy and efficient. but not inside that walled garden.
