Simply considering my 1 TB HDD might fail within the close to future, so possibly time to go along with the 500GB (or higher 1 TB) SSD? I’ve loads of ExHDs with backups, however nonetheless.
These are the 2 I’m contemplating (however simply began my analysis this morning) and I’m leaning towards the one with the 1 TB SSD even when I’m solely utilizing 500 GB of my 1 TB now, and have plenty of redundant stuff, even junk on it!
Each are able to Gaming, however I don’t do this. All I want is web, MS Workplace (Phrase), Adobe Acrobat, printer + scanner hookups, and so on. Nothing fancy.
The one cause I’m contemplating the dearer one is the 1 TB SSD, however might go along with the 500GB then after some years improve (simple to do per the movies proven on each the 500GB and 1 TB Amazon pages). However I could by no means even want the additional area. And if I did, there seems to be room for a 2nd HD anyway.
Had been contemplating a laptop computer, however then was simply going to purchase a dock and 99% of the time use it as a desktop, so form of a waste.
The distinction between these two is $70, so virtually looks as if a no brainer to simply get the 1 TB now and keep away from the effort of coping with it later.
However I look again on my historical past with shopping for VHS gamers, DVD gamers, microwaves, cameras, and so on and I at all times find yourself shopping for greater than I really want, “simply in case.” As a result of for just a few {dollars} extra I can get these extras, that I typically by no means even used!
However on this case for $70 why not?
Anyway these are the 2 I am now, however possibly somebody has higher suggestions on mini-PCs and even owns one? I did discover that Beelink is owned by the identical firm that makes these, and each manufacturers are made in China.
