Yes that sort of thing. I haven't replaced a desktop for about 10 years and it seems these tiny boxes can do pretty much everything except more serious gaming, which I have a console for. Tech moves very fast for this old fella
By full-sized desktop I meant the tower. I have a couple of laptops, but for the main home computer in my mancave room I like a desktop as it means I can have larger monitors and have two/three screens on my desk.
The mini PCs, if they can do what I want, seem a great space-saving option but still quite powerful for my needs.
