It prrforrms like a normal RTX 4060 desktop PC which is fine for 1080p Gaming.

No it doesn't. It has a Radeon 610m iGPU, which is not going to be anything remotely like a RTX 4060. But you could pay extra to get the one with the 4060 or get a third party GPU.

You will have to buy a gpu to get this to play games.
The igpy is quite literally garbage for anything other than basic desktop use

What an absolute beast of a CPU put into a case so small it can barely even house a low profile GPU

No USB4, TB, or oculink port to allow eGPU usage.

I'm of the mind that if you're gonna have one of these mini PCs you should be able to make it expandable so that you can use an eGPU.

I think you're missing the point. This isn't a mini PC like their other builds. It's a small form factor PC that you drop a GPU inside, no need for an eGPU.

I bought one. While I don't think it's a crazy deal price wise, it is an amazing package and decent value in this form factor. Adding a 2tb nvme, 32 gig 5200 RAM, and LP 4060 myself.

I've been looking to build a dedicated SFF emulation PC, want a dedicated GPU as my Beelink mini PC with 680M wasn't quite cutting it. Was initially trying a budget route with an old ebay SFF office PC (HP EliteDesk I7 8700) but after upgrading RAM, SSD, and PSU to adequately supply a 4060 in the HP this MinisForum ends up being a way better emulation PC for a couple hundred more. Also fine for AAA titles (my 7940HS/RTX 4060 laptop plays Call of Duty great, this will be better).

Also, this was recently FP

This deal is same setup but you're getting a PSU and case for $100 more. Better deal IMO.

Dude, i am simply referring the model with everything. The Barebone can't play anything because it does not have SSD, Ram or OS.

Sheesh, Slickdeals strikes again. This is exactly what I wanted and minisforum made it for me, splendid. In for one. Code works on the Intel model too which makes it 370. I got the AMD one, but the Intel has slightly better I/O including having SATA ports, easier to find RAM, and the igpu is better, but it does have a weird x8 pcie slot. AMD is just newer and faster though. Hopefully my wallet will understand...

The reason why Intel version having x8 Gen 4 slot is that it is a standard H series CPU, not HX series and as a result, only supports PCIe Gen4 and has lesser number of available lanes. I think they used some of the lanes for the Lan ports and Sata ports, resulting the x16 slot using X8 bandwidth.
The AMD model is basically same as their desktop counterparts, just made into a BGA Package for mobile use and supports Gen 5 as well.

400w PSU is a little low for a discrete GPU, no? PSU is always my apprehension with these mini PCs, the non-GPU ones usually can't handle a Ryzen G series. Good iGPU in a small form factor would be an elite HTPC.

That's price for whole thing so it's not a bad deal. Adding my own 32 gig ram, 2 tb ssd, and LP 4060 total cost was over $900
