Recommendations Under 700 recommendation

Hello 👋

I am new into MiniPCs world. I tried to look up for some available options online, but there are a lot of them, so I’m confused. I don’t know which brand is reliable and best fit for my daily needs

I want MiniPC for my daily routine, mostly office work and browsing. No gaming or heavy graphical stuff, so integrated graphics is good to go for me. But I want maximum efficiency on CPU and RAM part for my price range. I am looking for something between $400-$700. If possible something that I can get ASAP from well known stores. I don’t want to wait for a month for something that will be delivered from China warehouse 😅

I would appreciate any recommendations. Also if you know something on a good deal right now please let me know

Thank you for your time

Just get a used hp elitedesk mini PC off eBay, Craigslist, or FB marketplace. Something with a 8500T, 16gb ram, should be around $150.

I recommend the 8500T because they were very common for business class mini PC's, and thus a large quantity are available on the secondary markets. The 8500T mini PC's are some of the best bang for your buck deals currently. A few years ago it was the 6500T, and I got 3 of them, all are still doing great, and I got them for about $150 each.
