If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.
(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.
Happy to list more studies if you're actually curious:

$387 vs $372 with tax where I live. For my purposes, I think the pro processor speed and less ram are the better fit. Someone prove me wrong.
CPU Mark
6850H - 23333
6600H - 18675
The pro is 20% faster.
The only thing you mentioned that could be too much for this system would the Minecraft server. I'm under the impression the Minecraft servers mainly benefit from high single core speeds. And lower power CPUs often struggle in this regard. I think this would only be an issue if you run a bunch of non-standard mods. Check out r/AdminCraft [reddit.com]for people who actually know what they are talking about instead of listening to me.
The Oculink port also gives you expansion to play around with AI/LLMs later. You can get an Oculink cable and external dock for less than $50 from AliExpress. Then you just need a generic ATX power supply. So for less than $100, you've got a way to externally connect any GPU at PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds.
