Rank 5: MSI Cubi 5
Advertised as the ‘energy efficient’ Mini PC. The MSI Cubi 5 comes with a 10th Gen intel i7 ‘U-Processor’, supporting WiFi 6, equipped with USB 3.2 Type C ports. You can add 2 RAMs up to 64GB, as well as an SSD drive for storage. Interestingly, the device also supports dual monitors. It is a quite efficient system that can work for typical home and office requirements, but nothing that is performance demanding. It will still cost you in the ballpark range of USD 1,000 which seems hefty for its performance capabilities.
Rank 4: Asus Chromebox 3
The Asus Chromebox is also a decent option, which on one hand, supports 4k UHD graphics, WiFi, and Bluetooth while on the other hand, the device sports a Celeron processor & is not a Windows PC which definitely affects its practical usage options. It is a considerable option for signage, basic home use, and as a classroom tool, but if you are looking for a full computer usage and performance, this device will have difficulty providing those. It starts at a cost-effective price of USD 470.
Rank 3: HP Z2 G9 Mini
Although HP is not a very common name when it comes to mini-PCs, but they are quite ambitious with this particular model. With a 16 core i9 12th Generation processor, including options for the ‘K’ series, the processor itself is a powerhouse. It also comes with an NVIDIA RTX A2000 graphics unit, which can support up to 64 GB RAM and up to 8 TB of storage using dual memory slots for each (RAM & storage). The device comes with a thick mesh exterior built for better cooling and with a Z carved onto it. HP claims it’s an ideal choice for engineers, media professionals, and educators. It’s wide use, however, is doubtful because even the most basic model starts at USD 1,500.
Rank 2: Intel NUC 11 Extreme Kit
This mini-PC brings the highest performing intel NUC while still giving you a premium & size-optimized computer. It can be used to create desktop arrangements for gamers and designers. This is an 11th Gen i9 processor with up to 5 GHz frequency. It provides two Thunderbolt 4 ports with a total of 12 USB ports, intel WiFi 6E, and a 2.5-gigabit ethernet port. It can further be customized with up to 64 GB of RAM. The device also comes with a unique skull design, premium build quality & RGB lighting although it is quite bulky to be in the mini-PC range. And while this is a phenomenal specification, this mini-PC will cost around USD 1,150. Whether you prefer this to an actual desktop in this budget is an important question to answer.
Rank 1: Chuwi RZBox
Chuwi is a brand that has built quite a reputation over time for its quality products at pocket-friendly pricing. The RZBox Mini PC is another bold step in that direction. The device sports a powerful octa core AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor with a turbo clock speed of 4.4 Ghz and an AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics card. It ships with 16 GB RAM and a flash SSD storage of 512 GB both upgradeable via dual slots. The device surprisingly supports a triple display with 4k at 60 Hz and allows high-speed internet & connectivity with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. All of this in a 7-inch minimal linear design with ample USB & other ports. It certainly wins our choice of the Best Mini PC for 2022 by providing all the above at just USD 670.
