How good are Mini PCs? and should you consider buying one? Well let's answer that question as best we can with comparing the Geekom IT15, their flagship mini pc vs my benchmark desktop counterpart, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, though since the mini PC has to utilize an eGPU over a GPU dock (USB 4 in this case), we have a bit of an unfair comparison, though still something I really want to know. However not all is lost, as there are a lot of pluses to this unit, even vs a Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop.
