Excuse the delay, I had missed this. Looked in to search if anyone had experience with mini-convertible Chinese brand Chuwi which I'm planning to try out during the holidays.

On your question, I don't know GEEKOM, but I have seen them as a competitor in shopping for my 2 Intel NUCs and then some. I've run one NUC for several years -an i7/16gb 5th gen one, with a 256gb SSD and a 2TB hd. The more recent one is a mostly-music and media-streaming Celeron/16gb one, with a 512gb SSD only. Both are great and plenty. Both are connected to a single versatile ASUS 27" monitor, and a compact DVD drive is attached alternatively to one or the other.

I've been a mini-PC guy for a bunch of years, having used a little-larger Fujitsu mini for several years before the NUCs became available with with which I ran my mgmt-consulting and data-analysis business.

Your options sound more powerful than any Intel systems I've used. I have no experience at all with either Radeon or AMD, but I see no need for big boxes for any hardware as it's really about the processing your/my/the software requires and no more as I've seen and experienced it. I've also always favored mini for any portable computing I've done over the decades, by the by.
