Mini PC - ROG NUC (2025) Intel Core Ultra 9 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

I'm pondering of swapping my PC for mini PC format.
As I need 4K gaming, I looked at ROG NUC (2025) Intel Core Ultra 9 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mini PC.
I know it has laptop gpu and cpu, but it doesnt worry me, as I game a lot less than in the past (play game maybe twice a month now ).
CPU wise its more than enough for me, GPU is practically the same what I have now, plus it has TB4, which I like to have when I'm playing around with my camera or my extranel SSDs and HDDs.
It has 3 years warranty, so I think I would keep it for at least 3-4 years before getting a new one - similar to how oftern I change GPU in regular PC.

What I have now is mITX build - i3, 9070 XT Pulse, 32GB RAM in mITX case.
If I sell everything, I should have alsmot enough money to buy that mini PC, maybe add a £100.

Does anyone use one of those mini PC that have gaming power?

The Cpu will be power limited, and can't spray-frames if it ever needs to do it.

45w watt cpu also might only do 30watts when the GPU is cranked.  And 45watt cpu will feel NOTHING like a 150-200watt cpu, even if the specs match.  They are not remotely comparable.

The GPU is probably also power gated, probably 20-25% less oomph vs un-censored.

You can buy a thunderbolt card if you really need it.  If it's itx board, they make ones that go in the extra pcie ssd slot.
