I had a N100 mini PC with 16GB DDR5 (the chinese ones with 4 Ethernet for router use). That thing ran lot's of my services - arr stack, jellyfin, immich (iGPU + ML + another container running on my PC for additional ML resource), n8n, it-tools, handbrake, and another project that I used to do. This mini PC also handled 4k hevc quite fine! This is a surprisingly capable chip.But I wanted more so I bought a core Ultra 7 155H mini pc and took the RAM, ssd from the n100 machine (couldn't afford more due to ramocalypse).

I now also host this (shameless plug):https://news.freestuffsthat.work This simple site uses the built-in NPU, iGPU and the GPU on my desktop to summarise, sort topics etc for the news headlines.

IDM is king. I first saw it in a cafe back in 2006. It still works flawlessly!

My only gripe with GoPros is lack of external mic like dji ecosystem.

I think intel tried to offer GPU virtualisation with their consumer offerings but not sure what happened to that.

No vendor should be able to do this remotely at all. Irrespective of security vulnerabilities present or not.

Not using NVMe is not a difference. It's not a different architecture. It's just simple circuit/space optimization, and has been done in other platforms as well. The controller, instead of being on the ssd module; it's present onboard the device.
