Budget option? (feddit.it)

Since my laptop's battery fried out last week, I'm finally considering switching to something that's more solid (and trading portability with a tablet of sorts since my work doesn't include too much computing power), but I don't have the time or the space to assemble a desktop tower at the moment. Here's the reason why I was thinking of a mini PC, at least to buy some components that I could reuse (starting from the whole monitor-keyboard-mouse-HDD shebang) in the future. I'm thinking of something in the 350-400€ range, like the Beelink SER5. Do you all think it's a good option or I can aim for something else? I'm mainly looking for some light gaming, media handling (music and video), the usual.

I think one of the best options currently in terms of price and power is the Chuwi Ubox, which costs around €250 on Aliexpress. It is more powerful than a Beelink SER5, has DDR5 RAM, a Ryzen 5 6600H processor, and easy access to the interior for future upgrades.
