I had to look up "OpenBSD 7.6" and that's way above my level!If you're not gaming, a mini PC should be good enough for most of your use cases. And they're really power efficient.
Here's the ASUS line:

The one I bought had a lot of different configuration options, so I went with the one with the com port since I can use putty and access it that way before I get SSH up and running. I'm waiting for OpenBSD 7.6 to fully release, and then I'll swap out my APU2 for my specific case.
Otherwise, the alternative is using a tablet. But I am surprised by how powerful the n100 processor is for my use case. And you can get one with Windows 11 already loaded. If you don't mine buying a little bit lower quality, you can find a lot of alternatives on aliexpress.
But thanks for the Asus recommendation.
About 10 or 12 years ago I gifted an Asus 11" convertible tablet (with detachable keyboard i.e. backup battery, extra ports, etc) that seemed really nice quality.
I'm kind of liking what I've just barely started to research on the Beelinks with about 32 RAM and 1 TB SSD. But my concern is durability and longevity, and from my little experience with Asus I'm sure they can deliver on that (as has my Acer). So will definitely look into their options.
Even though I won't use it for gaming, I still want to have plenty of reserve so I don't strain the system and don't need to worry about upgrades or falling short in some areas like memory, speed, etc. And yeah, the ones I've been looking at use like 65w even when maxed out on gaming etc, so very energy efficient too.
