midrange desktop pc (horizontal / mini pc)

[Mario.R]

Hello! I would like to buy a midrange desktop computer, with a horizontal design, or even mini pc (not tower) to be placed under a monitor. Any advice? Thanks for the help!

What budget?

Look at an ultra small form factor (USFF) Dell OptiPlex. It's about the size of a small book.

What's your definition of midrange?

There are also some NUC type units that you can VESA mount to the back of your monitor.

Hello! Finally I went for this one: http://amzn.to/2ilUvx1
With "mid range" I mean neither too expensive, nor too cheap. Sorry, my English isn't perfect. Is there a better word for it?
Anyway, thank you for your replies.

I was curious what your definition of this was

500 EUR can be either cheap or expensive depending on your situation.

What are your computing goals for the one you bought? Doesn't look necessarily bad, might be a lot faster if you put a SSD in it though.

Nothing special, just a bit of programming, making presentations etc.
For midrange, you can blame Google Translate: https://translate.google.it/#it/en/di fascia media

You still haven't provided a numerical value for a budget.

A NUC should meet your needs though. But even then, they can range from $300-700.

I meant a quite cheap computer but with decent performances

I would say about 400€. But then I found this computer for 319€, which, in my opinion, is quite a bargain.
Then, if you want a numerical value, I would say no more than 500€.
