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 got a celeron on your laptap which was killing you / it is just a weak processor. however 32 bg ram is hard core. the worry i have with the minis is cooling. I don't know the answer but processors get hot and small chassis like that feels like it would take a beating over a sort time span. i have a sneaky suspecision they have a shorter lifespan because of their size and hotter temps inside the chassis
