The price seems pretty good. I don’t really know much about mini PCs. Do you think there is a better alternative?

    i have one running debian as a secondary backup to run just smart home stuff and pi-hole. you can set it up to start back up after power failure. was like $50 used. there’s basically no point in it being a mac rather than an old lenovo machine, but it sure is cute looking.
