Why would you thumb down this ... I literally bought an Asus rog ally extreme for 315 open box which is double the performance than this and it comes with a built in screen. I paid 20.00 for the dock from this site and use it as a gaming rig and daily runner.
im still waiting on a good deal for a mini-pc (don't know if i need one). im deciding if i really need a minipc or just stick with my laptop/desktop.

About a 10% difference in raw GPU and a similar edge in compute performance in synthetics, power limit is generally lower in the Ally due to the small handheld form factor vs mini PC with fixed AC power. The trouble comparing mobile chipsets is that that identical examples will perform very different between examples based on how the system they are in is configured for power/cooling.
In some cases the 680m could be faster than the 780m in gaming applications (https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comm...ison_wit
The ROG is a newer chipset/architecture and paired with LPDDR5x RAM @ 6400 mhz which is a plus in the GPU performance... but the whole chassis is power/thermal limited so that headroom is mostly theoretical under load. Anyone saying the Ally is "twice" as fast is delusional, real world these are very similar performance wise, one is a mini desktop form factor and the other is a small handheld so use case is what should drive the "best" option for someone.
$300 - $350 is a pretty typical used price around here so I'm not sure that an open box for $315 is extraordinary, and Asus warranty coverage on a second hand device... good luck. You should be able to kit out the mini PC barebones with 32 gb of RAM and 1 TB of storage for around the same price.
