      I use it when my main system, a Mini-PC (Ryzen 7640U), doesn’t suffice (complex CAD models, modern 3D games) and as it is a system with 64GB unified memory (crazy amount in this day and age) I also experimented with local GPU run LLMs, for example Gemma 4. I honestly don’t use LLMs that often in general but when I do, it is nice to have the option of actually having one that is really private.

        Sounds cool, I never got the chance to build in the before times. Seems odd to have a custom sff and mini pc. I am out of my depth though, maybe that is as powerful as a bulky pc.

          Indeed. It is a replacement for my previous “bulky PC”, with some capabilities that go far beyond that system but in terms of graphics it is pretty close to it. So it can play even current demanding games, on moderate resolutions, if you aren’t an fps fanatic. It is about 3-4 times more powerful than the iGPU on my Mini-PC. Due to the big unified memory it can handle locally some LLMs that even high end cards like a 5090 can’t handle but at a moderate speed only.

          The CPU side is actually pretty powerful, so it is a pretty strong productivity system, helped by the large unified memory as well.
