  This is the way.

  Don’t buy for the MINIMUM of what you need now. Give yourself some room to grow.

  That thing looks sketchy as hell, title stats and picture stats don’t even match.

    I am using this machine right now if you have any questions I can answer for you.

      On the graphic it said wifi 5 and the title said wifi 6 and the wifi and Bluetooth icons were swapped for the versions making it look sketchy, but I realized now it says wifi 5/2.4 referring to the frequency.

      Out of curiosity what OS or pseudo OS are you running off of it?

  Right idea, but I’d suggest getting dell or lenovo mini pcs instead. Saves you a bit of cash and you can get a semi-recent (low tdp) i5 + 8gb ram + whatever ssd the seller will throw you. They run 80ish USD before tax iirc

    This option didn’t work for me because I needed Alder Lake Quick Sync support.
