I want to be inclusive of as many products possible so I want to be clear this list will be edited frequently. Also, I can make mistakes or miss obvious things. All feedback is welcome!

General rules:
9
The order of the list does not imply any product is better than another
10
"Simp(lest)" List is extremely biased and unfair, please only use this as a beginner tool.
11
"Simpler" List is a personal selection of mini pc because the full list can be overwhelming. It is a very biased.
12
New and recommended products are bolded by my personal preference.
13
Products means a warning there are multiple ongoing problems.
14
Colors are not exact comparisons. They are very general estimates from Notebookcheck.com
15
Price estimates are for barebone kits to keep comparisons fair.
16
Budget your ram and storage seperately. General prices assumed:
17
DDR4 16GB RAM $40 (8GB = $20, 32GB = $80, etc)
18
DDR5 16GB RAM $60 (8GB = $30, 32GB = $120, etc)
19
500GB NVMe Storage $40 (1TB = $80, 2TB = $130, 4TB = $260)
20
1TB HDD Storage $40
21
OS cost is assumed $0 or negligible. For <$20 Window keys search Youtubers like TechYesCity and Vex
22
Additional Items with the mini PC (HDMI, Vesa Mount, etc) are assumed $0 or negligible
23
Durability (Higher is better) = Max reputable warranty I can find.
24
TDP = Arbitrary manufacturer value, does not always correlate to actual power consumption.
25
Largest Fan (Noise mm): An estimate of fan noise. Larger fan or no fan will generally be quieter.
26
Limited ITX and SBC listings. r/sffpc and r/sbcgaming
27
Limited socketed processor listings to minimize spam.
28
Limited used computers from ebay, facebook marketplace, etc because of unstable prices.
29

The column "USB C PD in" is for the minimum wattage the computer can run on just USB C PD power ex. A raspberry pi 4 can be powered by USB C PD 15W but cannot share video or usb data on the same cable.
53
Celeron Intel HD / Pi4
The column "PD in + Video" is USB C PD power in and video out simultaneously. Ex. Minisforum UM560 and UM580 but any usb ports on your monitor will not connect to the computer
54
Potato / Tomato
The column "PD in + Video + USB Data" is if your monitor has additional usb ports you want to use on the same cable for power, video, and usb data simultaneously. ex Acemagician AM06 Pro and Asus PN53
