For a bit of context, I lost my eyesight back in 2021 due to my rare genetic eye disability, and I don’t really need beefy graphics cards as a result. Nowadays, I find myself gravitating towards compact designs that are easy to pack up when I move, or decently quiet, and just sort of vanish on the desk.

What got me started on this craze was when the Mac mini M2 came out, people were saying that it was incredibly good value for the price, in a super tiny package, which I thought was pretty awesome. The only issue with it in my case is that I don’t really like macOS because it doesn’t have a great screen reader support, And the starting specifications like the storage space and the ram are absolutely anemic.

With all that being said, if someone is looking to buy a mini PC right now, and they are simply looking for the best bang for the buck, not necessarily the top of the line performance, what should they be looking at?
