  • depends a lot what do you need it for.

    AMD is quite good these days so it’s recomended (at least the ryzen procs. haven’t tried the others). on the gpu side, the integrated graphics are good enough for most basic tasks and even light gaming so that could work if you are on a budget. i would never recommend nvidia since it’s a pain to use it on linux but i don’t know how it works in different OS or if it has improved over time (my card is somewhat old so it might be the problem).

    one thing i recently learned is about second hand minipcs. they tend to be quite cheap for what you get and if you don’t need very high specs or very modern or specific hardware they work great.
