Hi, I'm looking to replace my very old PC, and a mini pc looks good, but I'm no expert, and have never bought a PC using a company like PCSpecialist before.
I use my PC mainly for Microsoft Excel, Word, powerpoint, but also use paint net, acrobat reader, some downloaded games, and general internet searching, facebook, etc.
Is a Mini good to run for about 12-14 hours a day, sometimes just left idle, or would this be an issue, and if so, what sort of an issue?
I hope someone can be kind and advise me, thanks
