I am looking to buy a mini pc to replace my elderly mothers old desktop which is very old and creaky.
She does not game and mostly uses it for web browsing, word processing and viewing photos/videos.
I am not experienced regarding these mini PCs but was thinking one of these would be ideal and save her the bulky desktop she currently has.
I have selected the AMD 4500u and 512GB M2 drive instead of a SATA for speed.
Would anyone have any advice on this type of mini pc, its suitability/reliability or my current selected spec and any suggested changes to make to it?
Would the 4700u be worth the extra money for the extra cores, which also has the RX Vega 7 graphics included instead of the Vega 6 in my current config?
Current spec listed below.
Many thanks in advance.
