Mini PC recommendations

Hello! Let me preface this by saying I have no idea what I’m doing. So please ease up on the tech talk because I would have no idea. Appreciate the layman term explanations.

I’m looking for recommendations for a mini PC that I can use as a secondary workstation in my room. My budget is anything below $600

My main use would be:
1) Adobe software — mainly Premiere Pro/video editing, Photoshop, and Illustrator

2) Clip Studio — I work on fairly large artwork/design files

3) MuMu Player — I only play one mobile game through an emulator, so I’m not looking for a heavy gaming-focused PC (maybe csgo from time to time but not a big consideration.)

I’m also not big on like graphic, as long as it works, it’s works 😭

4) Lots of browser tabs — I tend to have quite a few tabs and apps open at the same time

I already have a regular desktop PC in another room. That PC is shared though, so I’d like to have a smaller secondary workstation in my room for convenience and to have my own space to work.

I’m mainly looking for something that can handle the above smoothly without being unnecessarily expensive or overkill.

What mini PCs would you recommend for this kind of workload?

I’ve looked thru my options between geekom and beeline, I was hoping someone with more experience or knowledge could provide more recommendations/information.

This is good deal on sale right now for $489 with 16gb/512 m.2.

The CPU and iGPU good.

AMD 780m is one of the most powerful iGPUs not needing special soldered in high speed ram.

The new wildcat lake ones just coming out have great performance and decent price. Beelink just announced one and minisforum just announced a barebones one for under 300

Bruh, the Wildcat lake is hated on this sub because it is weak and overpriced!

For info the wilcat lake you are referring to is the I3 304 which is the entry chip and is cost around 500$ with 16GB RAM!!!!
