Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • In a mini-PC with a proper desktop cooler, that 12500H might actually run closer to its turbo limits longer than it would in a laptop. The 4060 Ti isn't gonna be bottlenecked by either chip at 1080p/1440p .
  • For multitasking, the 12500H pulls ahead.
  • Since your mini-PC has a desktop cooler, that laptop chip is going to run cool and quiet compared to if it was crammed in a thin laptop . It'll boost higher and longer.
  • With a full RTX 4060 Ti, that 12500H won't hold it back at all . You basically got a compact, efficient machine that runs cool. You didn't mess up.
  • The 12500H is basically a laptop version of the 12500, but with more cores (12 vs 6) .

Cons

  • It should still handle a 4060ti but it will definitely show a weakness in more modern games compared to the 12500.
