If you already live in the Apple ecosystem with a iPhone/iPad the Mac Mini M4 is the smart choice. My granddaughter spent more on the 24GB version for better long-term reliability. Excluding the cheaper 8745 the SER8 8845HS is the most quiet better quality build for a Windows PC. The Geekom A7 is be

i can't hear the beelink ser8 on my desk unless i get within a foot or so of it, with normal house level silence around. i also have a nuc 8 for comparison that i can hear from about 3-4 feet away. while it may not be technically silent i doubt you'll ever hear the fan if you aren't in deafening sil

If you're focused on "quiet" look at the non ventilated case, single fan SER8/SER9 series. Out of the ones I tried, this design was noticeable the quietest. I chose a dual fan, fully ventilated case knowing long-term heat kills laptops and NUCs. I'm running the 35W TDP "silent mode" on my K8 Plus mo

If you get a mini pc with Radeon 780M graphics in the CPU you (and she) will be very happy. The performance increase is noticeable over earlier APU’s I’ve got a few Beelink SER8’s and I’m super happy with them. Super quiet as well - which is the whole reason I specifically purchased them.

I got the beelink ser8 instead, which I could tune to be literally silent (fans off) at idle,

The Beelink SER8 has single fan cooling with bottom ventilation, and is the quieter of the two. The 8745HS isn't acknowledged by AMD, requiring custom AGESA firmware only supported by the manufacturer (AZWBeelink). The GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus has dual fan cooling & a fully ventilated case, with a 8845

Probably Beelink SER8 8745hs 32Gig specifically. Don't touch the 24Gig config. It's not about the size. It's the memory configuration on the PCB. They're hurting iGPU performance. They are dead silent with great temperature management and uses Crucial exclusively for memory/SSD.

Currently TSMC 4nm fabrication is the most efficient and cost effective in the x86/x64 CISC sector. There are a number of AMD Ryzen architectures on this fabrication node. As a personal example I'm running a GMKtec K8 Plus to meet some of these requirements. Its a Hawk Point Zen 4 architecture 8845H
