Ask HN: Mini PC or desktop for labbing DevOps?
GMKtec NucBox K6 Mini PC | Computer | Wireless Combo | AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS | 32GB RAM | 1TB M.2 SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Windows 11 Pro | 4K60Hz iv

My eyes has been set on this product. I will be using containerization over virtualization. The lab will not be open 24x7. It will be open for 7-8 hours per day with heavy workload. And extra 5 hours with lightweight workload(reading pdfs, writing notes etc).

I am wondering if this is a best deal or there are other stuffs? Buying a mini pc helps to save costs on various stuffs like PSU etc that are a baggage while building a desktop PC.
