Sucks that that there's no ECC-RAM model. A phone-sized x86 slab, as opposed to those impractical mini-PC/Mini-Mac boxes, that one could carry around and connect to a powerbank of similar size, and/or various types of screens (including a smartphone itself), would make for a great ultramobile setup.

If you want relatively small low-power box with ECC, checkout Asustor AS6804T. It is nominally a NAS but really you can use it for anything you want, it is just an x86-64 server with some disk bays. You also get nice 2x10GbE, which is rare with these minipcs

		If it had a a few more cores, something like this would make for a great node in a distributed system like k8s or ceph for a homelab. At the asking price, however, one could also cross shop an HP micro server gen11.

Bring back the Intel Compute Stick? https://liliputing.com/this-cheap-intel-n150-mini-pc-is-smal...

Arm RK3399 SoC is blob free and some (Pinephone Pro, N4S, Chrome tablet) devices are small enough for sidecar usage.

I like to pretend options without ECC simply do not exist. (i.e. as it should be)

It shortens the list of options, making choices much easier.
