Does a Mini PC Make Sense?

I'm thinking of buying a small mini PC for Netflix and other streaming providers but have a modern Smart TV do you think it's worth getting a small PC or would it be a waste of money?

Would surf with him now and then

The PC will definitely be connected to a screen or TV?

Then take a stream stick. Fire Stick, Chrome Cast or one with Android to program yourself.

So personally I would rather use a notebook or tablet. But just for streaming on TV or on a monitor, an Amazon Fire TV Stick or something would do. Otherwise, the PC is not to be used for anything that needs more power and corresponding cooling

I would connect the PC to my Smart TV correctly

What more do you want to do with this PC that a streaming stick or your Smart TV couldn't?

Now and then just surf the web and so on what you do in everyday life I just want to get the best possible image quality in streaming

The picture quality will not change, the film or series will look the same streamed via the PC as it is via the app on the TV.

And with many TVs you can connect wireless keyboards for surfing.

So do you see it as unnecessary?

Yes. Nice.

If you were to specify your price range, an indication of the possible range of functions could also be made.

I think there are better alternatives. For well under 100 euro there are android boxes that can also do 4k to do something like that. An additional advantage: the box also has a remote control for relevant functions such as fast forward and rewind, play stop etc. Included.

These things are usually available around 100 euro as a set with a small wireless keyboard with touchpad…

What do you mean by Mini PC?

I mean that by…

I have 3 mini PCs (different manufacturers) and I think they're great.

But if you mean an Android system, I had it too, are for the bin.

I mean something like https://www.amazon.de/...08F73X85Y/

What do you say? I can replace the SSD myself for more storage space

Is extremely inefficient, that's no fun, had an Atom 8xxx 4 Kerner, real garbage.

You're in better hands with AMD. At Intel from Pentium Gold.

The AMD also cost just over 200 euro including CPU, RAM and SSD.

The AsRock A300 (it's very, very small) 133 euro

Athlon CPU 47 euro

8 GB RAM 20 euro

SSD 120 GB 17 euro

Finished

This even makes lowGaming possible

Can I also install an m2 SSD in your PC where you suggested?

It is not absolutely necessary but YES

Dual Ultra M.2 (NVMe)

- M2_1 M.2 (2280) - PCIe Gen3 x4

- M2_2 M.2 (2280) - PCIe Gen3 x2 / x4

Okay but he can't do a 4K or

😂🤣 Of course the VEGA 4K

QUOTE:

We could not find any problems with 4K playback in either Netflix or YouTube. The Athlon 3000G achieves smooth frame rates in any case.

But not with HDMI, right?

Everything is in the specification…

VGA out

- 1 x HDMI (4K @ 60Hz)

- 1 x DisplayPort (4K @ 60Hz)

- 1 x D-Sub
