In this price range you will find stick PCs. These are fully-fledged computers the size of a large usb stick. You connect them easily to your monitor or television via the HDMI connection.

From € 200 to € 300 you will find mini PCs. These computers, as the name suggests, are small, but a bit bigger than the sticks. You can easily work them away behind your monitor. The small desktops have an Intel Celeron processor, 2 or 4 GB RAM and an SSD disk. As a result, these mini PCs have started up quickly. Keep in mind that you only perform basic tasks such as word processing, browsing and watching movies.
