I periodically check mini PC deals on Ebay. I came across an interesting one titled “Thinkcentre m73 Tiny 500GB HDD 16GB RAM i3-4150T Ubuntu Plus Guarana Fanta Soda” for $40.00. As you can see from the product image, ordering will net you the mini PC, the OEM plug, and a can of Guarana Fanta Soda. The seller describes the product as follows:
Lenovo Thinkcentre M73 with 500 GB HDD, 16GB RAM i3-4050T processor. Ubuntu is installed but the PC runs Windows 11 fine, you’ll just have to deal with Microsoft making it difficult to update it. You’ll also receive a can of Guaraná Fanta Soda.Guaraná is a fruit from the amazon.
This strikes me as a decent deal all things considered. $40 is a decent price, especially with the adapter. I would certainly replace the HDD with an SSD, but other than that it sounds like it should be good to go. The one caveat is that it has a 4th generation i3. You can find similar mini PCs with 6th and 7th generation i3 and i5 CPUs in the $50-$70 range. But depending on your use case, this mini PC could suffice, especially with the bonus soda.
