Original: I Replaced My Desktop Tower With a Box the Size of a Book

Short summary

A hands-on review of the Leaderhub LP5C mini PC, which replaces a full desktop tower with a book-sized machine powered by an i5-12450HX and 16GB RAM. The author reports smooth performance for browser-based work, VS Code, Slack, and light creative tasks, with dual 4K HDMI output and 28W power draw. Not suitable for GPU-intensive workloads but adequate for everyday development.
