Mini PC's, are they worth it?

Contemplating getting rid of my Celeron Lenovo laptop and getting a tiny box like pc with a ryzen 5, 32g ram. The only drawback is win11. But I know how to rid of one drive (permanently) so I guess that isn't a big deal. Found many cheap computers but they have i3 and those have always been too slow for me. Linux is just incompatible with my daw and video editing software so that's out. Does anyone have one of these types and if so what are your thoughts on it

You can get a good deal if you look around on auction sites and recycling places, you can find something with a better CPU. It might also be possible to buy a motherboard and CPU combo and buy the case separately. An "open box" or new motherboard and a used case might save a bit of money.🤷‍♂
The PC I'm writing on is an all-in-one, basically laptop or mini parts, I still use it because the picture is fantastic!! For me it's not slow, but that's a Linux thing.
