Hello to all. I'm looking for a mini pc to watch Netflix, movies and use internet, but my budget is limited and I have no interest in hardware for years, so I don't know which of these products is better starting from specifications etc. So, does anyone have any advice for me?
Ive no idea when it comes to new electronics.
I usually find few requirements then pick the one with the best reviews.
Just a suggestion (depends on how much you're gonna be using Internet) - maybe just get a second-hand Xbox One? It'll do Netflix just fine, and support most modern (and old) codecs and will work just fine as a media center.
None of the computers listed are very good. You'll run into issues with harddrive space (given that they all run Windows 10), and the amount of RAM they have means they'll be underpowered (not to mention the abysmally bad CPUs).
As I said, perhaps consider a used console, which will allow you to game as well, if you're so inclined (and does have a web-browser, if you want to use it).
Other than that, again, perhaps a used laptop or desktop computer? You'll get a lot more for your money if you buy used, especially if you buy a few generations old desktop - you can probably get way better / faster hardware than those mini-PCs.
Cyber Monday is coming soon and Sony snd Microsoft both announced new systems. The old systems should drop in price.
Id suggest a tablet if thats all you want it for. I just upgraded my 7" Kindle to a 10" Kindle. Love it. I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, TV (Dish Anywhere). Plenty of room to DL some movies. And you can take it anywhere.
