I was shocked at how nice this little (3-4 inches on a side) Chinese W10 box is, two full-sized HDMI port (I have yet to hang two monitors off from it, but that's coming soon I think) and solid state drive, stupid mono earphone jack, but the USB sound cards are tiny and give me stereo, and with the thing hooked to a TV now, I get sound through the HDMI. Works great, but I've been back on this 2013 laptop of late, mostly using the external 32" monitor rather than the laptop screen. Poor old thing, loose ports, 8 years of work, me beating the hell out of it, massively great value at the time ($250 new at the Big Box store), I've considered doing some tiny upgrades as a summer project, SSD, port fixes.
Also have a couple of Pi's, the earlier is a 4, the newer one a 400 (keyboard is a POS), work great, other than the no realtime clock fiasco. What a stupid design decision. What the Pi world could use is a realtime clock built into a USB dongle, and a driver for it. Hmm, I'd guess someone's thought of that before...
I most recently tried a Gigabyte Brix here. Works fine with Linux and plenty of ports including HDMI and a USB-C. And yes, big TV screens are nice.
I like the Pi and other similar boards, but wish one of them would provide 2 Ethernet interfaces. Hmmm...haven’t looked at those for a while, though. I’m somewhat of an anti-WiFi Luddite, until we see better security with WiFi. Heh. Use it only with temporary broadcasts for updating cellphones so far.
