Mini PC Performance Guide

The document compares different mini PC models and their performance for emulating retro gaming consoles and running modern games. It lists over 30 mini PC options with their specifications like CPU, price and review. For each PC, it evaluates how well they can emulate systems like GameCube, Wii, PS2, Xbox and run games on Switch and Wii U at resolutions up to 4K. Higher-powered models with Ryzen or Intel H-series CPUs can run most games at 1080p or higher while lower-end Celeron models are limited to 720p or below.
