I am using a 2019 Ryzen 2700 sale build ($461, not counting 1050Ti which I just carried over) and minipc~s~ really seems lacking when it comes to GPU power. Like the one you linked to is about the same GPU performance as my card (and I have seen otherwise interesting newer models use it too).

The models with a better GPU (Radeon-8060S) are in the beyond-budget category (up to $2K), so you are definitely being charged a premium for the small form factor (even despite potential drawbacks). Or maybe the “AI” branding is part of it…

Maybe in 5-10 more years it will become affordable. Currently, if a low-end APU is faster than your current CPU though you might be better off with that, or some dirt-cheap used GPU (AMD Polaris card, or even saw a video on 1050Ti~s~ being $20) maybe.
