Looking for a low powered mini pc

I have been self hosting on my raspberrypi 4b 4gb for the past two years. I feel like its time to upgrade the setup. A low powered mini pc like the n100 would just do fine.

What system do you guys use generally for self hosting.
I had a look at skullsaints mini pc. All the specs mentioned was good.
I am planning to install proxmox on the mini pc. But on reddit i read that these pc have a very bad customer care. The lan adapter is bad that it doesn't work with proxmox.

Can I buy this or go with intel NUCs. They are much better and have dual slots for more ram where as this supports only 16x1. But some of them uses a lot of power compared to n100. For Intel NUCs for the price in India can I go with 10th or 11th gen? Or wait for next intel event so the prices go down.

Btw iam using these services hosted in my pi:
  • Wordpress - personal blog
  • Firefly - finance
  • n8n - automation
  • arr stack- linux ISOs
  • Bookstack - notes
  • Npm - reverse proxy
  • and some network tools and stuff.
I am currently in hyderabad so any shop or place suggestions are also helpful.

I came across this site yesterday while searching for mini pcs. Much helpful if you guys have some suggestions regarding this.
