Recommend Best Cheap Mini PC for Home Assistant

jeeg on 20/04/2019 - 02:18

Hi, am wondering if anyone has a better recommendation for a mini PC for running home assistant? Would like the price to be less than $200 if possible. Would like 4GB ram + a small SSD if this is not too much a request.

I can only find a few that do not seem to have too many negative reviews, such as these:

Intel Nuc Atom E3815 - $140'ish
Zotac Zbox - $220 which is slightly over the budget
T7 Mini PC - $161

Any better recommendations?

Thanks

    I've heard good things about the Intel Nuc Atom too.

    Any particular reason why you have chosen a PC to run home assistant? The raspberry pi can run home assistant, costs ~$50 and consumes about 5W.

      That is what I m using currently. Yes it has many merits but I find the platform is slow. Hence the desire to spend a bit more to improve the experience.

      Which Intel nuc atom are u referring?
