If you don't need the portability of a laptop, here's something that gets you more for your money.

That’s because the mini PC can forego the costs of other elements that aren’t included: display, keyboard, mouse, speakers, battery, etc. If you already have all that stuff, or if you plan to equip your laptop with lots of external peripherals, then you’re wasting money with a laptop.

The physical design of a laptop determines how air flows through the laptop, which affects cooling. Laptops have to balance heat management with performance. Meanwhile, mini PCs can shape themselves however they want — and with more effective cooling, they can push their components further and eke out more performance.

This is a list of the pieces I chose when building my own gaming PC:
