But unlike the Windows PCs we’ve tested, the Mac mini doesn’t have an external power brick, so you don’t need to find room for one behind or under your desk. That 4K-export time is a minute faster than what we got from the M1 Max–based Mac Studio, and 1 minute 20 seconds faster than the results from our M2-based top pick. Budget picks usually come with less storage, but Chrome OS relies more on cloud storage than Windows and macOS do, so local storage isn’t as big a deal for a Chromebox. It boasts the same processor platform found in the NUC 13 Pro, so performance is good for a machine with a mobile CPU and integrated GPU.

DeskMeet adopts a drawer chassis design so users can pull out the motherboard tray after removing one screw at the bottom.A 256 GB SSD should be available as a standard feature, and upgrading the storage or adding a second drive later should be easy. Whether you are browsing the web, working on a office document or playing a game, the chances are you are using the Windows operating system.

The chip giant has released a series of NUC-branded mini PC kits in its own line, and several of the traditional PC-component makers have followed suit with similar models (Asus with its VivoMini line, and Gigabyte with its Brix models, for example).

The 8GB of RAM that comes standard in most computers today has become the standard for many users, but for power users and professionals, 16GB RAM is the ideal choice. Apple’s M2 processor is about as fast as the speediest Intel processors available for our Windows pick, and thanks to its power efficiency, the Mac mini remains whisper-quiet even when the computer is working hard.

With just 8 liters of volume, DeskMeet is a powerful and compact desktop PC designed to deliver the best experience for daily computing, gaming, home entertainment, content creation and business. Despite its relatively larger size, the Mac mini actually comes with fewer ports than most of the Windows mini PCs we tested (and fewer than the old Intel-based Mac mini had). First, we've broken out the best mini PCs for 2023 that we've tested below, according to the usage case.
