The old, lame, thinkpad in the workshop is just annoying.
Here I would like to buy something small and new that you can ideally screw under the table.
Nothing should stand around on the floor.
The part is not used too often, should of course. Be cheap.
It is used for online research, viewing Bidler, maybe with a rel. Resource-saving layout program look something.
The monitor would have 30x30 cm
There would be absolutely no objection to used parts.
Does anyone have a tip?
Best as a complete package?
We have an Intel Nuc in the office, which is screwed under the table. Any PC monitor can then be connected to this.
Otherwise, a Raspberry Pi would be enough for surfing and viewing pictures.
You can also screw this under the table and connect a PC monitor. I can't say how well your layout program is working. Furthermore, a Linux distribution is usually used as the operating system.
Thanks, question added.
There are many versions of the NUC.
No I don't "surf" but do research, for example. Circuit examples.
In my eyes, surfing is just a pastime! (yes, I know, is now petty:-))
Taking an Intel NUC as suggested by @ChrisCat1 is a good idea. The cheapest is available from 200 euro. You have to choose the monitor yourself - 30x30 is not very much, you may have to switch to VGA / DVI 2: 3 monitors or use expensive industrial solutions.
Conrad often has finished devices with Acer barebones on offer, which are quite inexpensive. But a NUC or even a Compute Stick is enough for the project.
Is a certain protection class required?

I see Intel NUC for a low-priced notebook from 99 euro?
It shouldn't be expensive, it runs far too little for that.
Protection class 1, as usual.
Or do you mean IP protection?
The part does not have to be protected against dust or water.
My smart home runs on Pi… Or what's the question?
Sorry, the comment was accidentally sent too early.
There's also an adapted Windows 10 version for the Raspberry Pi. I don't know how well it is going.

In that case, I would rather advise against it.
As "surfing" I now generally mean viewing various websites, whether for research purposes or to pass the time.
Jo, iwie is a pi for me twas too thin:-)
Yes, surfing was "pea-counting" on my part:-)
Which of the many NUCs would be reasonably future-proof?
What do you think of Gigabyte Brix?
What I like is that Also in older models standard HDMI and also an old Sub D monitor connection.
I remembered that I still have an old monitor with Sub D on the memory, at least to try it would be something…
I personally have no experience with it now.
From the reviews I've looked at now, the models seem to be quite good and the built-in hardware is partly similar to the Intel Nuc models.
Personally, I would take a model with at least 4 threads and 8GB RAM.
Keep in mind that some NUC models still require a SATA hard drive and 1-2 DDR4 SODIMM RAM sticks. Dust and water protection is no problem for these fanless devices.
Yes, thank you.
I tend to gigabyte brix now…
OK, yes I also thought of 8gb, where can I find the information subject threads?
When specifying the CPU / processor. It should say how many cores and threads it has.
