What to look for in a budget mini PC

1. Performance and Processor

Look for a mini PC with a processor that matches your intended use. Entry-level Intel Celeron or AMD Athlon chips are affordable for basic tasks, while Intel Core i3 or Ryzen 3 offer better multitasking.

2. RAM and Storage Options

Check the amount of RAM and storage included. For smooth everyday use, aim for at least 8GB of RAM and consider SSD storage for faster boot times and responsiveness.

3. Connectivity and Ports

Ensure the mini PC offers enough USB ports, HDMI outputs, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other connections you need for peripherals and displays.

4. Size and Upgradeability

Mini PCs come in various compact sizes; choose one that fits your workspace. Some models allow easy upgrades for memory or storage, which can extend their usability over time.
