PELADN has previewed three new gaming mini PCs. Part of a new series named PELADN YO, the new mini PC models aim to bring high performance in a small, eye-catching package. They are set to pack Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen CPUs with RTX 40 mobile and RX7000M discrete GPUs.https://www.notebookcheck.net/PELADN-YO-gaming-mini-PC-series-to-launch-with-RTX-40-and-RX7000M-GPUs.788298.0.html
Ok, we get it - add a dGPU to just about anything and it is suddenly a "gaming" anything?
While two of their boxes appear attractive looking I find it rather amazing that device OEM's have not 'pounced' on the rather obvious ginormous unfilled HOLE in the market.
(for those of you that don't see or know of it I'll spell it out...)
Namely - combine some mobile APU's and GPU's packaged in an attractive box that is sized and priced similar (or at least competitive with) modern gaming Console systems. (however would outperform them (the consoles that is) by a wide margin)

XSX and PS5 use a giant monolithic APU. It will be interesting to see what kind of prices "Strix Halo" commands in 2025 since it could be cheaper to make and implement than these APU + dGPU combos.
