For such office applications, a Mini PC would be most appropriate. (It's laptop hardware, but without a display, display hinges, or keyboard, which are not very reliable in cheap models.) Geekom makes Mini PCs in "Rose Gold". A DIY build would be more expensive, but not better: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $149.47 @ Amazon Motherboard ASRock A520M-HDV Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard $62.99 @ Amazon Memory Crucial CT2K8G4DFS8266 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19 Memory $116.70 @ Amazon Storage Patriot P400 Lite 500 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive $80.99 @ Newegg Case Zalman T3 PLUS MicroATX Mid Tower Case $43.98 @ Newegg Sellers Power Supply ASRock PRO-650G 650 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply $49.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $504.12 Generated by PCPartPicker 2026-03-06 12:43 EST-0500
