looking for a mini pc
 
Can you suggest me a mini PC, which can be used for picoscope (means ubuntu), arduino/ESP32 based developments and similar tasks?

Would the Raspberry Pi suit, they seem to connect to Arduino boards OK.

yes, the question is if picoscope software is running on that hardware, it needs mono.

Can you use one of the mini intel's like the N100?

I have antiX 23.1 64 bit full runit iso running all hardware on a Dell II Chromebook. Price was cheaper than buying the Pi board with all the periphials needed. Some are on sale with Linux already installed on ebay.

Chrome boxes are pretty cheap right now. Just make sure you buy one that you remove one screw to flash the bios, Unless you have skill jumpering the connector on the section that says jumper,

I have had real good results buying Dell Wyse small form factor boxes .

I have one similar to Rokytnji Dell/Wyse, & lots of HP T520, (bought a job lot very cheaply) - solid machines if they will do what you want, & quite cheap.

pan64,

This is probably not at all what you are looking for, but what a buy for a Linux user!

The seller, with whom I have no connection whatsoever, has 3 of these.

Effectively brand new (only connected once to wipe the SSD), this Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 2 Tiny PC Ryzen 3 PRO 4350GE 4GB 128GB Wi-Fi No O/S:

I saw some HP mini's for $80 online. g3?

You might want to look at this one from ThinkPenguin.

I currently have two ThinkPenguin laptops and they work very nicely.

I paid $279 for this MINI PC just a couple of months ago. Great machine. Amazed at the power, it being so small.

I would agree with this. I own 2 Beelink mini pc's one similar to the linked and the other just with intel uhd grahics. They work very well.

yes, thanks for the tips. I like this Beelink box.
