On my order tracking page it says maximum power required power supply is 56W and that I should consider 'upgrading my power supply'. What does this mean ? Also will the PC come with a power lead ?

pc specs aren't my strong point but basically in your spec, the system is using 56w and your PSU can output 60w. That's not a lot of room for movement and will basically be running at full whack. Now it will work because i believe PCS specify the peak output required but it still good to over spec your PSU. for instance if you want upgrade down the road to add more memory or a bigger HDD which will draw more power.

Hope that helps

This was an error on our website, as power supply upgrades are not available/required on our Mini PCs. I have removed this, it's nothing to worry about.
