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.

^A bit OT - does Gearbest deliver directly to your address or do you still have to pick it up at the post office?

Recent orders are delivered to my address.  Yung older orders (2015 and older) meron white slip tapos pickup sa Cainta post office.

A relative donated these two Lenovo Q190's to me for refurbishing. These were attached to the back of old plasmas (similar to some POS units you see these days).

Came with 4GB of RAM and Core i3-3217u (1.8 GHz).  I replaced the hard drives to 240 GB SSD's, did clean installs of Win 10 (detected the old activated Win 8 license after activation) and MS Office 2010 (got a donated volume license). It runs a lot faster than I expected, easily playing a 4K file (compressed) without any hiccups.

These will go to poor kids who need a computer for online learning. Hope I can get more from other donors. ;)
