Compare new office configurations, display connections, operating-system licences and support.
Office work is the least demanding thing a mini PC does, which means the specification is rarely the deciding factor and the desk is. Sixteen gigabytes and a 500 GB drive cover documents, a browser full of tabs and video calls without complaint. What actually differs between these machines is how many displays they drive and over which ports, how much noise they make, and whether they mount behind the screen. We list new stock only here: a refurbished machine can be an excellent buy, and it is a different decision with different warranty terms.
Compare these local configurations by price, connections and upgrade options. Choose the features you need; their order does not establish a performance winner.

£299.00 ·
For office applications and everyday business work. It has the lowest current UK price among these recommendations. Its installed SSD is 480 GB, compared with 256 GB in GMKtec NucBox G10.

For a fleet, compare application compatibility, operating-system edition, management tools, warranty and replacement availability. A Windows deployment and a macOS deployment can have different identity and management requirements. Match the exact configuration to your organisation's software and support needs rather than buying on processor specifications alone.
16 GB is a practical starting point for many office workloads. Larger browser sessions, security software, video calls and specialised applications can need more. Check your deployment's measured memory use, warranty, condition and replacement policy; refurbished equipment can also be suitable when those needs are met.
Check that the operating-system edition supports your required identity, security and management features. If considering macOS, verify your applications and management tools on Apple Silicon. Confirm the number and type of display outputs, mounting hardware and power supply for each desk.

Trade-offThe important uncertainty is the board variant, because it changes what you can confidently plan for memory and networking. There is no verified sustained-performance, noise or local-model speed result supporting this recommendation. Treat it as a specification-based office and small-lab option, and confirm the exact configuration whenever an upgrade or software requirement would decide the purchase.

For the models below, check the highlighted specification with the manufacturer or seller before deciding whether it suits your setup.
Check the amount of memory installed for these 2 configurations.
It varies more than the price does, and it is a property of the machine rather than the monitor. Where the manufacturer publishes a figure we record it; where they do not, the row says not confirmed rather than implying an answer.
Not at all, and it is often the better value. It is simply a different decision, with its own warranty and condition questions, so it is not mixed into this list. The main catalogue includes refurbished stock and labels it.
Check the mounting and the power supply before the specification. A machine that mounts behind the display and takes a standard supply is far easier to deploy in quantity than one that is slightly faster.
