My main computer is a desktop that I build using components and runs Win10. i7-2600K with 16GB RAM without discrete video card. It runs fines for my D800 RAW files using LR 4.x
I have recently acquired a Z9 and would like to dabble into video (probably not 8K, but say 4K) besides processing RAW files using NX Studio or Darktable. Will a miniPC with a processor like AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with 32GB DDR5 be able to handle these tasks? Do I need more powerful processor like Ryzen 7 8845HS with 32GB DD5? Both these options are without discrete video cards.
Will appreciate any feedback from folks here who have tried this route or have more experience in this area.
Worst case scenario - I could build a new rig using components from my nearby Microcenter which have good deals on combo (AMD or Intel Processor, Mobo, RAM) for ~$500. However, I am worried about 2 things -

- Beefier CPU Cooler, since these processors generate quite a bit of heat.
- Electricity costs (since I run my desktop 24x7).
