For example I don’t know if a cheap mini PC like the GMKtec G5 would be more likely to have firmware/driver related security flaws over a more standard PC like an older Dell Optiplex from Staples.
Maybe there is something else entirely I am overlooking. I’m not sure. Most of the complaints I’ve heard are in regards to mini PCs containing bloat and potentially malicious things installed.
Server hardware does.
I think dell Rx30 are only just getting to EOL, and it was released in 2015.
Although, buying an Rx30 before 5 years ago would be in the 10s of thousands.
Refurbished Rx40 and Rx50 are somewhat affordable.
