Low spec PC

scan

Hi,

I am looking for a fairly simple/basic PC - jus the brains, I already have a good monitor.

It is really only used for word, email and some work related web browsing - not streaming or gaming.

Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks,
Scan

You could consider Raspberry Pi 3. It's primarily an educational computer but this version has sufficient spec for running word processor, email, web browsing. Can be a bit sluggish with youtube videos though.

If your monitor does not have an HDMI connection, then an adapter will be needed:

Pimoroni are not the only suppliers, The Pi Hut also have similar product offerings:
