Question Cheap even used laptop pc for streaming and playing movies?

[USAFRet]

USAret,
What's meant by the "lower power" of this model verses other models?

"low power"

"the standard TDP of the processor is 6W."

I'm not sure what this is referring to, but "low power" seems to be something to stay away from.

Low power consumption.
Frugal on your electric bill.

Trade off?

For your stated use, nothing.

Newer, more efficient system.

What would it be a problem for? Gaming?

And,btw, how good is that integrated graphics on the CPU? Is there a way you could put it in terms of a separate graphic card from the past or is that just not a fair way to look at it. I'm asking because I'm curious about what older games I might be able to play using just the 3.4 GHz.

Sheesh, the more I look the more confused I get. Here's another beelink.

Beelink Mini PC, EQ12 $239​

They are starting to all look the same. I think this has ddr5.

And what about this guy out of left field? Great wifi and quiet.

Give me one last spoon feed USAFRetired.... best amazon beelink for my needs under $250?

I think that one would work just fine.

I know you're trying to help, but vague replies without any elaboration on the issues I've raised aren't getting me to a decision. Thanks anyway.

Well, the stated uses are pretty light.
My Bee-Link is a little more powerful than those, but it in no way struggles with doing similar things.

The pic in the Amazon ad says:
"The performance is similar to 11th Gen Core 13 28w."

So, that is one specific comparison.

Just want to say thanks for everyone's help and advice before I close up the thread. I'll probably pick something up around black friday. Special thanks, as always to USAret, who always seems to hang in the longest trying to help.

cheers
