I want to buy this small mini pc for basic work like web browsing, email checking, documents editing.. i have a gaming pc but it sucks the max wattage of the mini pc by doing minimal or idle workload, which is 35 watt..

Also mini pc i can use as DIY router, media box??

Is it worth buying or am i over complicating things?

Not to hijack the thread but lets say if I wanted to just connect a couple of external HDD's to these and have them shared over my LAN network at home then will this one suffice:

Lenovo Thinkcentre M710q Desktop Computer Mini PC (Intel Core i3 6th Gen, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 11, MS Office, Intel HD Graphics, USB, DP)

Its just a normal pc, you can share your drives over network but you will ofc need this pc connected to your LAN, either via wifi or ethernet.
Check before you buy these, as some of them come without a built in wifi.

If you do get a usb dongle for wifi, try tplink, rest all have a been not upto the mark for me personally

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

Yes, I will be connecting this via LAN cable to my TP-Link switch at home. At 5.3k I think it's a good deal.
