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

Sounds like you are trying to exchange one hurt with another. Laptops are cool because they are portable. You can connect large screen monitor to it and hide it in a corner someplace, but if you want to take it to the beach or the office you can do that too. Changing to a mini computer will likely have you in a similar position, maybe with other unexpected issues. I dunno, if it was me and I didn't like my laptop I would get a real gaming computer, then there are lots of options.
