Hi,
Looking for a desktop replacement, windows 11, and reasonably quick, happy to go with a refurb model, mainly used for browsing, home banking, Strava, Instagram downloads, Kindle and other bits and bobs of USB devices that need windows connectivity.

Ideally not a fortune price wise , but what would Singletrack recommend?

Thanks.

It doesn't sound like you're after anything too powerful really, just standard use.

I recently got one of these -  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115710830111?

Just wanted something small, but still decent, and this really surprised me with just how good it is (I did the i5 5th gen, 16gb ram version)

Worked fine for me, as I had a screen... But if you don't you can pick screens and peripherals up super cheap.

Sure there is better optins out there, but this worked spot on for me

Those aren't technically windows 11 compatible. You can make it run with a bit tinkering but you are outside what Microsoft deem acceptable
