Does anyone. Experience with Mini PC?
My son is currently in homeschooling and our old laptop (5-6 year old netbook) is annoying (everything is probably too lame / unstable / camera resolution bad / sound quality bad)
My idea: Since he has a monitor for his PS4 anyway (and since the laptop is currently also connected to it anyway) I thought about a mini PC as an alternative.
I can screw it to the back of the monitor (invisible) and operate it using a wireless mouse / keyboard. Plus a webcam and a PS4 headset for audio.
I found this one once:

What should be done with it:
Internet (access via Wi-Fi from Fritz D-LAN router)
MS Teams via browser
MS Office Palette (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
Youtube videos
Cloud
That's it.
Question is: is 64GB SDD enough? How big will the win be - not that I won't be able to make updates soon due to lack of HDD (that's how it is with netbooks…)
Is such a mini PC really sufficient for these applications?
No matter what you do, don't buy a PC from Amazon.
Kind regards
This PC is no faster than a 6-7 year old mid-range laptop
An old I 3 from the end of 2013 is twice as fast as the CPU
I'm talking about I 3 2100 which is actually already junk itself
Mini PCs all have the cheapest mainboards built in… (thus also the worst BIOS like 10 years ago) there's not a single one that you could upgrade.
Then better all in one PCs because you have a screen and PC components in one.
And they are as strong as high-end PCs, with some you can retrofit RAM up to 256 GB. It is only important to take one with a 6 core CPU with hypetreaths and the best graphics card but not mobile. There are enough all-in-one PCs with standard graphics cards.
What I know is all in one up to 20,000 euro
So you will find something
Pentium processors are damn lame, but are usually sufficient for Office.
64 GB is very little, that causes problems with Windows updates.
Alternatives around 200 euro:
