00:00Fix slow home office with Intel and 150 mini PCs
00:04My home office has been driving me crazy
00:07The old desktop takes forever to wake up, Chrome eats everything, and I caught myself googling how to make Windows
00:12faster at midnight like an idiot
00:15So I went hunting for small, cheap, silent machines that just work and I found the best deals on Intel
00:20and 150 mini PCs to fix a slow home office once and for all
00:24Here's what I found
00:26This is the budget one and it's kind of absurd
00:29Intel Core N150, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB RAM, a 1TB or 2TB SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and
00:39it drives a 4K monitor at 60Hz
00:42It's listed at $3.54
00:44Yes, check the listing yourself, because that number looks like a typo
00:48Either way, for an everyday office box that runs spreadsheets, email and browser tabs, this thing punches way above its
00:54weight
00:55Over 4,800 sold and a 4.8 rating
00:59Now this one has a weird name but a great deal, Intel Core i9-10980HK with an N150 option in
01:06the same listing
01:08You pick the chip
01:09RAM goes 16GB or 32GB, there's a 1TB M.2 SSD, Windows 11 Pro, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5
01:18.2
01:19It's around $245
01:22If you want to squeeze in some light photo editing or a bit of video work without waiting on a
01:27spinner, the 32GB version is the one I'd grab
01:313,024 sold, 4.8 stars
01:34This is the one I'd call the sweet spot
01:37Straight Intel N150, but the RAM is upgradable to 32GB and the storage choice is 1TB or 2TB SSD
01:46That storage upgrade is the smart move here, because the N150's built-in storage is the weak spot, give it
01:51a proper NVMe drive and this little box feels twice as fast
01:55Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Windows 11 Pro, and it's $245.82
02:032,550 sold, rated 4.8
02:07Another 2026 refresh, same core value, Intel Core i9-10980HK with N150 variants, 16GB or 32GB RAM, a 1TB M
02:18.2 SSD, Windows 11 Pro, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2
02:22For a home office that doubles as a media or family PC, the 32GB build with the i9 handles multiple
02:29users and background tasks without flinching
02:31It lands at $245.82, with 2,514 sold and a 4.8 rating
02:39Solid, dependable, and it just looks like a small black box on your desk
02:44Alright, that's my rundown
02:47All the links are in the description below, so go grab whichever one fits your desk and finally retire that
02:52slow machine
