For a few years now, fewer and fewer people have had a PC at home, replaced in many cases by a cell phone or a tablet, although for certain tasks it is always advisable to have one on hand because it makes things much easier. A laptop is a good option, but what about a Mini PC?
These ultra-compact desktop computers fit in any corner, are quite affordable and almost always come with Windows 11, so there is little more you can ask for, and there are plenty of examples of this. Amazon, without going any further, sells a model with 16GB of RAM for only 179 euros.
In addition, it has an Intel Celeron N95 processor and Windows 11 Pro preinstalled, ready to use right out of the box, unlike what is already common in almost all cheap laptops on sale.
It is one of the computers sold by brands that assemble them with various components, depending on the price they want to achieve and the use they are going to give it. The model we mentioned, from Funyet, has everything you need, for example, to use Chrome, Office, Teams and similar applications.
Let’s say that both for school use and for low-profile professional use it is ideal, although you will have to add all the peripherals: keyboard, mouse and monitor, although you can also connect it to the television via HDMI if you want. In this it does lose in comparison with a laptop, which can work on its own.
In fact, an increasingly common use of Mini PCs is to connect them to the television and turn them into a multimedia server to which you can download video files to play them directly on the TV with the HDMI cable.
For example, it is the same utility that a Fire TV Stick, a Chromecast or an Android TV Box has, only with the maximum versatility that comes with having an operating system like Windows 11 behind it, where you can install, for example, a Plex or Kodi server. in just a few minutes.
To make matters worse, as it is sold by Amazon and costs more than 35 euros, you do not need to have a Prime account to save on shipping costs because shipping is free for everyone, although if you are also Prime you do have an advantage, and that is that Delivery of the product is much faster, in just one day in most cases.
