    Sure, but they tend to be low-end mini PCs with older CPUs, very weak iGPUs, a tiny SSD and something along the line of 8 GB RAM.

    besides discount pcs, you either have older desktop cpus being sold in a small package, or laptop apu mini pcs at sub 500.

    phoenix/hawk point based mini pcs (8 core mobile zen 4 with 12CU rdna3, maybe around 1050ti performance) would be around the 500$ point

    Yes but it's likely going to be a 5600g and no dedicated GPU at that price point.

    edit: 5600g + cooler, Asus a520, 16gb 3200 ddr4, 1tb m.2, 500w psu and case for £400 over here which isn't far off the target. Entry level at best but it's all upgradable which is the point.

    Shits gonna suck when even this option dissapears :(
