Is like drive a toyota sedan with a v8 engine.
So pretty much this is just for building a low end desktop PC
While other Desktop barebone may give you option for better CPU and internal video card, etc.

Anyway, you have to look at the form factor... You aren't going to cool a 225w tdp cpu in a case this small. This case would be perfect for an 8700g or 8600g. This would be plenty of computer for most folks, and would probably also be an excellent computer for a batocera drive with 780m graphics. AM5 is still pretty young, and I would expect more APUs down the line. I have an AM4 5700g, and I am currently waiting on the ASRock deskmeet x300 to go on sale. If I didn't already have that APU I would love one of these and an 8600g.
