Up for this very old thread. There are brand specific threads, but this thread would be a good catch-all.
One of our ancient PCs finally gave in recently, and use is really just for surfing and MS Office. The old PC had the AMD E350 chipset, to give an idea how ancient it is.
I'm now looking to replace it with a mini-PC. Budget under 10k if possible. My short list:
All are based on the Intel Cherry Trail T3 Z8300 Quad-Core platform, which means no H265 10-bit decoding.
For under 10k, is there anything out there which I should still consider? Different platform?
Appreciate your inputs please.
I started the above post since I needed a new PC. I ended up getting the
Beelink AP34 Mini PC from GearBest.
Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3450, 4Gb RAM, 64Gb ROM, M.2 2242 SSD slot, licensed Windows 10 Home, gigabit LAN, Wifi AC, BT 4.0.
The other mini PC I considered was the
CHUWI HiBox Mini PC which had the Cherry Trail Intel x5-Z8350, but is dual-boot with Windows 10 and Android 5.1. I actually bought this, then cancelled 15 minutes after when I saw the Beelink.
