Mini PCs / Value frontierBest-value mini PCs for Proxmox
Every mini PC we track with a price, plotted by CPU PassMark against price . Green dots sit on the value frontier - nothing beats them on both performance and price - fading to grey the more you overpay for the performance you get.
Frontier: 9 of 125 priced mini PCs.
