Works great as a NAS controller, multimedia server and basic web server. Also works as an emulation server for older systems. Not so good for gaming, but there’s a LOT of computing that isn’t current gen game, audio or video editing, which are the three areas where most minipc rigs will fail.
Just make sure it gets enough cooling - run a temp monitor.

It’s my server, another one is my HTPC and another one is my OPNSense router. My house has got hidden mini PCs everywhere.

Like others have said, RPS is a gaming site, not a general purpose tech site, so it makes sense that they limit the scope of the article.
Mine as well.
