Yes, typical buyers of mini PCs might be interested in other things than maximal benchmark numbers.

For me, the first criteria are: silence, silence, silence, modularity of SSD RAM WiFi, durability, maintenance, firmware availability, security, needed ports, single thread speed at least my lower bound, preferred OS possible, and I admit the decent design.

methinks you need to come up with a better way of reviewing SOHO solutions, they aren't purchased based on their benchmark score. all you had to do is check if it's suitable for everyday office tasks and how it compares in price/quality with other office solutions.
and this is quite useless, much like you never test phones' battery life in PHONE CALLS for some reason.
