don't wait for this, get or build a normal pc that you can change parts anytime you want, you will not regret it.

If I were 20 years older, I'd be happy to spec out a mini-ITX build. But with a 3 year old running my life, my time is limited and if the price of this is right, it might make more sense for where my current life is at.

I've got 3 under 10 and it's brutal trying to find time for hobbies. I paid someone to repaste my GPU and that felt weird as hell

I completely understand where you're coming from, no shame in that game!

if you have time to play videogames on one of these you also have the time to build your own pc. You don't have to anyway, you can pay someone to build it for you, the price would be about the same.
