The top cover of this mini PC is a touchpad for some reason

The Kidwants KN1 mini PC is a small, cheap desktop computer with mostly unremarkable specs. But it has one stand-out feature: the top cover is a touchpad with support for multitouch gestures.

Theoretically that means all you need to use the computer is a display and keyboard. But I’d probably still recommend connecting a mouse, because I can’t imagine that it’d be particularly comfortable […]

I speced out a $120 Raspberry Pi 5 build

RPi5 8GB $87
power supply $13
case w/ cooler $20

then I found this #MLLSE M2 Air #MiniPC with #Intel #GeminiLake dual core @ 2.64 GHz

It's from '17 so it's got old Wifi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2, but it's got an M.2 SSD already and USB 3.2 for just $78!
