Are these Mini-PCs any good? When you have one, any recommendation on which to get?

I’m pondering of changing my 10 yr outdated Acer Mini-Desktotp (8″x10″x2.5″ and have by no means had an issue) with one in all these which are about 5″x5″x2″ however with manner higher specs.

Simply pondering my 1 TB HDD might fail within the close to future, so perhaps 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 numerous redundant stuff, even junk on it!

Each are able to Gaming, however I don’t do this. All I would like is web, MS Workplace (Phrase), Adobe Acrobat, printer + scanner hookups, and many others. Nothing fancy.

The one purpose I’m contemplating the dearer one is the 1 TB SSD, however might go along with the 500GB then after some years improve (straightforward 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 house. 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 like a no brainer to only get the 1 TB now and keep away from the trouble of coping with it later.

However I look again on my historical past with shopping for VHS gamers, DVD gamers, microwaves, cameras, and many others and I at all times find yourself shopping for greater than I really want, “simply in case.” As a result of for a number of {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 taking a look at now, however perhaps 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.
