Honestly, its not even performance, GPU and RAM will need upgrading before the CPU starts being an issue. Its just the ITX motherboard that annoys me, there’s a lot of cool stuff I could do with more expansion slots. But I think you’re right, I expected to get 3-5 more years from that CPU, it’s probably best to just wait for the new stuff to become more affordable
Doesn’t work well for thicker beverages like milkshakes or iced coffee’s. But for most drinks i agree no straw is best.
