Best Mini PC Pre Built ??

@Little Crow, thanks for that matey , I appreciate what your saying and you find the HP mini product good enough etc, I had a look at it online and as you say its only an i3 cpu (2 core) setup inside etc, well my mrs has a laptop with the i3 cpu setup inside and to me its extremely slow at various things especially the minute you require it to do a slightly heavier job unfortunatley, thats why I have been waiting patiently now and hoping to be able to get some type of mini with the Skylake i5 (4 core) ,as far as I can see they have a serious bit of punch and great graphics etc too, so thats why I am desperate for one, not really caring too much on who the manufacturer is either, I was thinking/hoping that maybe overclockers would release the new skylake ones maybe for black friday and/or christmas etc, but I dont see any sign of them just yet which is strange

does anyone know if these or similar are coming very very soon to overclockers or anywhere at all, they have to be as they have been getting mentioned on the internet for many months now and its already near the end of the year, I was thinking maybe they might be coming out for black friday or possibly christmas but I dunno

There is an i5 version with 8GB of memory @£450 if you think the i3 won't be grunty enough - for me that was more than I wanted to pay for the duties it'd perform.
The pav mini's also seem to be a graphics generation behind the NUC's too, which might be another strike against them.

If money is no object then I'd say the NUC leads the pack, maybe there'll be a bit of a stock clearance of G5's for Black Friday, and more G6's on sale shortly after that.

yes mate, I've been scouring everywhere to try and find the 6th Generation ones, but I still dont see them yet anywhere apart from lots of adverts and you tube things etc saying how good they are and all that stuff, tired of waiting to be honest, lol.

Edit/update......Oh no, I think after looking again now that I am going to have to buy a slightly larger mini pc as I can see even the 6th Generation cpu setups in the likes of the nuc's appear to only be 2 core , I really want something that is 6th generation but with the 4 cores, hmmm , I think this has forced me into a situation right now of getting something slightly larger.

I really liked the look and idea of the little nuc's etc but with just 2 core cpu's I dont like it much now although they will still be good for a lot of folks, plus they are literally maintanance free to, so now it defo looks like its going to have to be something maybe a little bit larger in order to get the specs I am after (6th gen with 4 cores) plus I would much much better prefer as close to zero maintance as possible and in a nice looking box/case that wouldnt look out of place on a living room table where everyone can see it.
