Hi all, could someone please recommend me a cheap mini PC?

I am literally only after something for browsing and a bit of Excel. Are the options from Beelink around £200 et al going to be reasonable for this?

I had an old Dell machine but this has stopped working. I may try and fix this but need something fairly promptly.

Thanks all in advance.

209 quid for a nice fanless machine (I love quiet PC's) - a decent low power CPU

or if not fussed abour fanless, this with 16GB RAM looks a great deal

I assume from the price this would be powered by the N100 or N200 cpu? Can't comment on that specific version, but I own a Beelink with a 5600H and it has plenty of performance for browsing and basic productivity. Its relatively quiet and has been reliable thus far.
Many other Chinese manufacters making similar small PCs, such as Minisforum, Geekom to name a few.
