Mini PC for OAP

[altwebid]

Hi

An elderly relative is looking for a replacement Windows 11 PC that will do basic desktop duties and some photo processing using GIMP.
I supplied a used Dell workstation about a decade ago but was wondering if a mini PC might be a better option.
The old guy has a very limited budget.

Many thanks

What would be his absolute maximum budget?

If its around £200 you can pick up a Pre-owned Intel Nuc that is 10/11th Gen Intel that come with 16GB ram etc.

Small, Low power usage and plenty of speed.

I had an 8th Gen Nuc and it was really snappy, Was well impressed with it.

The budget is £200 and as they are of a certain age so Windows is a must - I'll have a look around.
TBH I've never seen a mini PC in action so have no idea what the capabilities are.
I might end up finally trading up my Dell Precision T3600 as Lightroom/Photoshop seems to be struggling under the upgrades.

Many thanks all.
I passed on the details and his son took over and bought something cheap and cheerful off Amazon.
He seems very happy with it though.
